Rick Caldwell NHSDTC '08 solo

[xCezium137x]

oh my dear god in omg... what just you did scrambled my mind how on did you this..

[J88Wolf]

"I am using a demilitarized springfield weighing upwards of 34.56 pounds. It is painted using the blood of horseshoe crabs found only on a rare island in the middle of the Arctic Circle. The electrical tape I used has been blessed by an Amazonian Shaman-woman. My uniform was made from the skin off the back of a rare beast that only exists in the dreams of small children, and must be hunted with the rainbow spears harvested from the South Korean Unicorn."

x::D::: What a discription!



[leskichris]

I admit that was amazing even with a 3.5 lb rifle. I did a competition with a 9.8lb rifle with a 10 in. bayonet and it was a lot of fun. If ur looking to get into bayonet spinning hit me up.

[Koenig42]

@leskichris This is a full-weight 1903, probably the same as what you were using. I have a bayonet and it's fun to tinker with, but it's not my thing.

[summerlinkidmike]

How much does that rifle weigh?

[leskichris]

@summerlinkidmike Its 3.5lbs



[Koenig42]

@leskichris It's a demil.

[aman803]

I liked the video just for the description. sike this is amazing

[TheDadrobb]

i would not had that pointing at the di i would of used some other way of reporting in but other then that, if u got 3rd id like to see 1st that was really good

[dragonmaster006]

I saw Ricky at area 7 state my freshman year and him and my friend jack mahurin were crazy good

[raptordt1991]

rick i will never understand how something that awesome could not get 1st place

[mumbles2k1]

Good grief...I think I have given this video 1,000 hits by myself...best solo I have EVER seen....i couldn't even dream up half the stuff you were doing....great stuff!

[elifantom]

but iam not trying to be a jerk ok lol i just want you too do better ok

dude i use demilitarized Springfield  and they weigh up too 9 pounds man

well i guess the reason u lost in inspection is because you told the judge it weighed 34 and half ponds

[rokr44]

Stop feeding the trolls dudes / dudettes. Texasdrillereagle is not worth your time and emotion just to tell him about his lack of drill skills. That's why all of his four videos are unavailable for viewing. This has been a public service announcement brought to you by the Anti-Troll Driller.

[erickchad]

hey rick...its erick,from airport, i was with hutchinson in georgia and nationals...the vid i put of him from 08 was taken by SNI...have you had any of your vids taken by them...i was trying to find my solo on ytube but i cant find it either...this sucks

[chickentaco89]

That was really cool i wish i could spin like that but i always injure myself . Great job =)

[LotusRockLee14]

oh sorry

[Koenig42]

Okay, seriously, does anyone even read the rest of the description?

[Koenig42]

It's sarcasm.

[Koenig42]

It does not weigh 34 pounds. That was sarcasm. It's standard weight. If anyone ever tells you their rifle weighs above 10 pounds (no matter what kind - M1, '03, or M14), they are lying to you.

[ticks60]

@Koenig42 unless its sum1 from the USAFA then there lying, the heaviest rifle ive ever had to spin is 9.5 lbs and it was heavy, i spin the m1 and '03 and i like both but stick with m1 for starting out

[dustywow]

thats not true i talked to one of the other guys on their team yesterday and he didnt want to tell us the weight and there was a girl half the size of me throwing quads.. so thats BSand then when the flour bluff's best guys tried to spin the texas a % n fish drill team rifle he droped it many times cause he wasnt used to it because they use super light drill rifles....he dropped and broke 3 rifles

[Koenig42]

Flour Bluff's Armed Exhibition team uses regular, demilitarized Springfields. I know this for a fact. I have held these rifles before. I have watched them compete with the very rifle I had in my hands. If you can't get over the fact that a girl can throw higher than you, then that's your problem.

[SsgtChestnut]

@Koenig42 Girls can use lighter rifles than males..

[dustywow]

ur wrong tehrer buddy its only 9.5 lbs and flour bluff rifles are 3.5 lbs

[Koenig42]

Flour Bluff uses fully-weighted, demilitarized 1903's.

[Azrw34]

@dustywow

there are certain regulations depending on what event you compete in Flour Bluff's Armed just like any other armed (not including non-service) must compete with at least a rifle weighing 9.8 pounds or heavier if not they get points reduced plus places like john jay, flour bluff, and black watch all have rifles at least 9.8 pounds or more they are not using "3.5 lb" rifles

[ttimothyp16]

lol i read 34 pounds i was like this guys full of crap but then i read the rest lol.

[Koenig42]

Unfortunately, you wouldn't be the first to think I was serious.

[ZapBoi]

...34 pounds? Well god damn.

[ZapBoi]

Oh, wait! I've been badoozled!!!

[rokr44]

you make me look like a fool............

[xxsergio59xx]

THAT WAS HOT! So freaking good man!

[jedidavid]

Real good routine, just too much repetitive use of the rising sun, but other than that real dang good routine!

[lifeline1176]

34 pounds? im sorry but im not buying it... no way theres a rifle that weighs that much...

[iwillneverpostavideo]

i don't think i could even do a forward with a 34 pounder :p thank the Drill Gods those things don't exist.

[rokr44]

@lifeline1176 really? your like the 3rd freaking person to say this. its sarcasm goddamn

[anttheknee1]

yeah really if your so good then prove it try uploading a video its what youtube is here for not mudslinging

[Texasdrillereagle]

you'll see me at nats bitch besides shut the fuck up, you dont even have any vids shit stain

[anttheknee1]

no actually i have four videos fucktard which is four more than you have and i kinda feel sorry for you the only comebacks you have don't have a single bit of thought so you can keep replying but this is the last you'll here from me

[Texasdrillereagle]

i meant drill videos you faggot, no shit you have videos but we're talking about drill, so i thought you were smart enough to figure it out but obviously not, oh yeah fuck you

[Deth388]

omg rick i look up to u and hope to b as good as u one day lol

[Texasdrillereagle]

you treat him like god hes just a skinny penis

[Koenig42]

Why do you go around trashing other people's videos?

[Texasdrillereagle]

why r u such a skinny penis,

[dduron]

how did he get his rifle to weigh 34(+) lbs?

[aznpspgamer]

its a drill joke

[joker0918]

ur good man.....hopefully ill see u at nationals this year....look out for Ridgeland...and me....cause im not to bad myself.

[dominicandriller09]

why man crazy performance u got some hater with no sence of humor commenting this vid somthin must be up there ass or somthin cuz most of them probably couldnt do the thing u did in this routine, but crazy stuff man !

[Jusgrowinup]

i don't believe your description at all.

[jrotcssghooah45]

he kept messaging me sayin it as 34 pounds and who cares damn

[wansboro577]

its a joke.. your clearly out of the loop

[italy430]

haha at the speed he's spinning and stopping it, if it weighed 34lbs it'd rip his skinny little arms off!

good routine tho!

[DashingRave]

1st-Great Drilling

2nd- Love your sense of humor, Roflol at description.

[jrotcssghooah45]

well the ones my school uses ouyr a 3's i hit the round number but i seriousely dout that rifle wieghed 34 pounds now if u made a typo and its suppoused to b 8.65 punds i would by that ... but seriously 34 pounds??????

[Ccarcamo713]

god...are you mental...he gave you like 3 different chanced to see that he was being sarcastic.

[jrotcssghooah45]

look a t ur discription and tell me whos brain isent functional

[Koenig42]

Alright...Honestly...did you only read the first three lines or something? Like, seriously?

Oh, and by the way, most springfields used for drill are 1903A3's. I appreciate the attempt at intelligence but it doesn't fly here on the YouTubes.

[jrotcssghooah45]

a springfeild weigh 34 pounds thats either alot of bulshit or u fucked up the rifle ... a standard m1903 a4 springfield rifle weighs 8.63 to 9.76 pounds the rifle ur useing is no way 34 pounds

[Koenig42]

And the brain you're using is in no way functional.

[robbyy123456]

LMFAO at the description

[PibDib]

Wow you either got seriously robbed or the 1st and 2nd placers had extremely amazing routines. Im guessing you got robbed.

[Camouflage48]

I think I met you before, do you know Anthony Arborn? From Lake Mary High School?

[jurrjurr]

and that was officially favorited

i love that style of drill, us long lanky armed guys have to take full advantage.

great routine completely deserving of the place at nationals.

-Jwall

[Koenig42]

You're quite good, man. Have you joined the DC yet?

[rifledrill]

haha, I kinda of hate being long and lanky because compared to my friend mark my flow drill is slower than his because it takes me longer to do flow than it does for his short body. I love having longer reach for cooler tricks though

[szczepnj]

what uniform r u wearing? is that a dickies shirt?

Great job though man. I can tell u love the art of drill like i do.

[Koenig42]

Haha, yeah, it's a blue Dickie's work shirt.

[jurrjurr]

that report in was awesome, i really hope nobody steals that, i would call that out in a heartbeat.

[CRUNCHIEzZ]

dam you must be pretty strong if its going that smooth and it ways 35 lbs

[homer4485]

it dose not way 35 lb

[Fortis2010]

he was jk, it doesn't way that much.

[Zeroslash619]

did you place

[Koenig42]

Third.

[fatttypig]

Omg nice flowing

[tierranicole18]

omq i miss you rickyy ; everybody thats hatinq shut the hell up !!

he is the shit and will always be the shit :)

[AFd3693]

o yea well i use a 1 ton mustang car top that lol

[Latvir]

what rifle does he use?

[Koenig42]

Standard-weight 1903 Springfield.

[XRenegadexMonkeyX]

that weighs 34.56 pounds lol

[SkipIt55]

Very impressive! Keep up the good work! LTC Davison, Norwich University

[sonofgip]

That was amazing!!! I picked up a rifle my senior year of JROTC and I wasn't too bad but that was completely awesome. I have a friend who is also very very good and part of me wants to see how you two would match up. Again completely amazing. By the way how heavy was the rifle you were using?

[Koenig42]

My rifle is a standard-weight M1903 Springfield. They weigh about nine pounds.

[pfcwheelerbrad]

ricky u were good in high school but now i think its time to grow up and put the rifle down and maybe pick one up for your counrty.... no offence

[Koenig42]

None taken, but the military's not the route for me. I drill because I love it and because it keeps me fit, but I'm also a full-time college student and dedicated worker.

[pfcwheelerbrad]

lol as long as ur not just doing drill

[desmondsgurl24]

that was remarkably beautiful. it takes people like you to make cadets seem more mmotivcated. even though i am apart of a marine corps rotc and we have 10 pound rifles your rifles really put on a show. makes me want to buy one

[Koenig42]

My good sir, are you in some way insinuating that my rifle weighs any less than yours?

[desmondsgurl24]

oh no of course not im a female though and unlike many females i can spin very well. Maybe my cadets would say it weighs less but i respect every branch and every weight class of the rifle. But wat kind do u have. ours have been switch from M-14s to 8.5 Ib daisys and im sayin its so much harder to spin only because the weight is uneven. so for individual or dual exhibition i was gonna buy my own rifle around 3 Ibs. So, my sensei do you have any suggestions.

[Koenig42]

Poor choice of words on my part then - madame.

I drill with a 1903 Springfield weighing about 9 pounds. And the secret? Just practice. A lot.

[desmondsgurl24]

Why thank you i take that into consideration

[swtazzpnoy]

when you say practice alot you dont mean mean killing yourself everyday do you? or do you do it like you would a regular work out how you work out hard one day and then rest another?

[jbenz12]

working out??

Just practice with the rifle..

lol

Its just practicing the spins everyday til you get them right..

[evotrevo]

talk about a perfect routine

[rudeboy7464]

I just checked my email and see that you left a comment. I will be back to judge, but we dont get to choose what areas we can judge. if i could, it would be all exhibition. Me and the marine judge came up with little catchy phrases for all the routines we thought were really good. we labeled you the "the New Hot", meaning you were one of our top performers for the day. unfortunately, the other judges liked the throwing the weapon at the head judge and pulling it back routine!!

[rudeboy7464]

I was the navy judge at this event and i gave this guy my highest marks of the day.

[Koenig42]

I sure hope you're judging ISIS next year, then.

Also, I have no idea what you wrote on my scoresheet. "The new __" something.

[Gevangy91]

did your school actually compete? or did you just go for solo?

[Koenig42]

Just me.

[ruggiere23]

wat uniform are you wearing

[Koenig42]

Corfams, ROTC slacks, white belt with silver buckle, Dickie's blue work shirt, Leadership aguillette, and beret.

[xxgwkidxx]

lost points for under 3 min....

[Koenig42]

The limit is 2-3 minutes.

[Mikama5]

I really think theyt screwed you over... this is without a doubt a first place routine. I saw the one who got first place and you can't possibly compare the routines. Excellent job

[Koenig42]

Thanks for your support. Do you go to Rahway or do you just have videos of them on your profile?

[Mikama5]

yes. I am a rahway cadet

[LibertyGuardHawkins]

props ur a guy from like florida who im guessing doesnt have a very good drill team so my hats off to u on making a really badass solo.

[Koenig42]

Thanks. Where are you from?

[LibertyGuardHawkins]

san antonio im the commander of the new drill team in the neisd district same as rattlerguard and blueguard and blackwatch. were called libertyguard. i came from blueguard as a freshmen and cuz of were i lived i got sent a new school closer to my house so yea it kidns sucks but at least i got a drill team it would really suck if we didnt cuz i wouldnt know what to do with myself haha.

[ablock0fch33s3]

what school? the only new school ive heard of is brandeis

[LibertyGuardHawkins]

johnson high school neisd.

[youngmarines5]

awesome routine ricky

[littleboots11]

hey rick. listen , i go to a small school in texas, with a pathetic aif force unit. i plan on going to daytona next year. basically........I NEED TIPS.

[Koenig42]

Everything you need, and probably more, can be answered at the Driller's Consortium. The link is on my profile here, and if you still can't find it, send me a message.

[rifledrill]

lmfao!!!! what's up w\ the description lol?

[mastersam93]

it did flow really nicely

[AntoAkaTeeJae]

that was simply amazing. great flow segments.

a lot of unique things in there.

haha waaay better than me.

[jbenz12]

lmfaoo i loved the description... this is AMAZING... i always liked watching ur single's routines back at comps... im c/ munoz PHS NJROTC... umm wat was the hardest part of the routine????

[Koenig42]

First of all, which PHS are you talking about?

Secondly, the hardest part, for me, is just getting on to the floor. Once I'm out there drilling, I'm home free - 'in my element' as it were. The nervousness leading up to the walk-on is the most difficult.

[jbenz12]

poinciana eagles.. nd ahhhhh ok i see wat ur saying.. hmm it makes sense... o man.. i gotta say ur spins are SO fluid... its awesome

[s3117]

Oh yeah, definately. The sweat that your hands make could be collected in buckets. I was always nervous just to do team routines. but that Adrenaline hits and its amazing.

[Hardcorekid08]

...and yea i know your kidding

[Hardcorekid08]

did you say 34lbs....GOD! dont break your arm there buddy!

[BlkCobalt]

Rick...You Are The Man.

[GetSomeMoreM14]

good job rick

[Blondguy1]

nice bro!!! u really improved since i saw ur performance at the battle of the titians meet.

[Koenig42]

Thanks! What school do you go to?

[Blondguy1]

TBT lol, yea i was just a freshmen this year, but I'm gradually starting to improve, I've been working on my barring like hell. So yea.

and i love the description of your vid, its hilarious, "and must be hunted with the rainbow spears harvested from the South Korean Unicorn." quite and imagination you got their. =]

[Koenig42]

Hah, thanks. Yeah, I didn't have my rifle painted at your guys' meet - or I did, and then it all went to hell as I did my performance. Dropped on a dumb move.

[Blondguy1]

lol yea i think i remember seeing you peel off some of the paint right b4 ur drill, i didn't get to see all of it because i had to show my school what they were up next for but i saw most of it. Didn't you get 2nd or something?

[Koenig42]

Yup. I dropped near the very end of my routine because my hand slipped. I had a good paint job on it for Nationals, believe me.

[Blondguy1]

did u have the same design as the one at tbt? or something totally different?

[Koenig42]

It was a slightly modified version of what I had at TBT. Not that you could tell; I had to rip most of it off.

[Blondguy1]

it was a demilitarized Springfield right? and i think i remember hearing you say how its weight distribution was different from normal ones?

[Koenig42]

Yeah. The 'normal' ones I think you're referring to are the Daisy's, the black synthetic replica rifles. I don't like spinning with those at all, just because the balance is off so much. At least from what I'm used to.

[Blondguy1]

yea, thats the one i use. Was yours specially made? or did you buy it how it was?

[Ozop102]

you should join the Drillers Consortium

[Koenig42]

I'll think about it.

[sincity245]

This was mad lulz

[AndrewDotExe]

LOLOLOLOLOL

[AndrewDotExe]

PS Rick you suck.

Your mother doesn't love you.

Go play in traffic.

Drink bleach.

Die in a hole.

You were adopted.

Santa isn't real.

Etc, etc.

[bmx687]

[m1specialist]

LOL

[doowstados]

Lmao.

[doowstados]

NICE JOB MAN! *Makes Chewbacca sounds and beats chest*

[rodan9]

[WarriorRotc92]

Who won first this Year?

[Koenig42]

Sam Ratliff of Fern Creek.

[vidofnir42]

Dude... that was friggin' awesome.

[firehands96]

I feel like is wuz an honor to stand on the floor right next to the drill pad as you did that performance.

Your one badass drill rick, can't wait to see how you do in ISIS

[almar90]
