Indianapolis Zone Qualifier

I took the boys to the Zone Qualifier in Indianapolis this weekend. Well, I took Rumor for the weekend and Dylan gets to stay with Chris for all 10 days! Lucky boy :)

I'm not sure what the deal is with Speed Retrieve, but since DockDogs changed from the DFT to the Flappy, Rumor won't jump. It isn't like he's jumping poorly... he won't jump off the dock AT ALL. So, we're done with Speed Retrieve for the time being -- I don't see the need to mess with his confidence at all over it.

Saturday Rumor had 2 Big Air waves. He blew me away in them... he hit a new personal best of 25' 1"! I couldn't believe it! I was so proud of him. His next wave he hit a 23' 11" jump, which I was still THRILLED with. Before this, his personal best was 23' 3". This jump had Rumor sitting in 1st place for the Pro Finals. Dylan was a very good boy too... he was in Big Air only and had a 16' 1" jump which had him sitting in 7th for the Amat Finals. Rumor also finished his Elite Jumping Title on Saturday, which I was also quite happy about.

Sunday didn't go quite as well as I had hoped, but we still had fun. Dylan DID improve on his jump and got a 16' 7" jump in the BA wave which moved him up in his Finals standings. In the Finals he had his best jump with me of the weekend... 16' 10", which finished him in 4th place :) Rumor and I didn't do as well in the Finals. Sadly, it was his shortest jumps of the weekend... the 1st jump he left the dock about 3' early and the 2nd jump I threw the toy horribly... poor dog. I don't know what the exact jumps were, but I think they were both in the high 21' range. Oh well, was still an amazing weekend for the little boy :)
