Guts is so much fun.

[Stefanocgn]

Yes, it´s true. I was there too and that was 1979, not 1980 ;) Talked with John and had a very good time with the Valequez-brothers. I competed in MTA against "Rocket" (I forgot his name :( ) and did the 3. place.

This was aired in 1980 and that year was 1980.

[Stefanocgn]

You´re not right.

[lameroger]

Yes I'am, ABC WWOS aired this film on TV in 1980.

PS! Thanks for putting these up. I haven't seen this footage since it was on tv, and that was a million years ago.

..besides, there's a clip of the Oracle, Don R., and myself doing a coop demo for the camera. We didn't play together in '80.

This is from 1980 not 1979

Naah. Don't think so bub. I had cut my hair by then, the Hi-C logo on the event shirt, Eric Wooton / Scott Z. in the finals...Besides, look at how many folks are in the stands, John Dwork was out of it because he had ruined his back playing ultimate in Santa Cruz and was doing the wheelchair freestyle demo with (John Cohn???), and also the tunnel thing...
