Piccolo is for very small player under55 kilos, but if you want "esquimauter" "turn over" (sorry i don't know the right word) it's quasi impossible, i'm not sure that his constructor have thinking about that .
I've try it i'm 55 kl with long legs and very unconfortable and more difficult to "turn over" with it than matador

:scratch:So i think you got it right there john, but let's talk a sec about how old am i compared to you??
I am still gaining skills while you should be at your prime.
And, you bring in imports.... our team is all canadian and all albertan for that matter. still it did not make a difference, We will be a better team as time progresses... and three of us are under 19... so, in summary.. it is not about winning, it is how you play... and we will win more the better we play. when we played you we were trying out new things. but yes you guys did win twice and we would like to win next time. oh yeah, look out. comments like that will only make me work harder to make sure you lose next time...:barbell: thanks for the encouragement.....

Right on Lee - although actually we're well past our prime. The sell-by date has long past for most of us - we're like that bottle of milk at the grocery store that should have been bought a few days ago! We should be checking out the Master's Games entry forms! We're just suprised we can still keep up with you at this point (well we can't keep up with Speedy but at least charge starts are only twice a game).

We have to keep recruiting imports for our team... I mean for the Cup of the North, our Latvian was in Australia, so we had to get a German replace him with to go with our Irish, British, and Russian players :)

A few of us on the SF team are Americans though - and the amazing thing about it is that they occasionally let us play!

:silly:

Oh and regarding your original post - did you try the Flight yet? I'm too fat for mine, but alot of smaller players like it. Sasha likes his. I think Mareese has one too (???). Last I heard there were some people here in California looking into them, and I think they might be trying to a bulk order for a discount and cheaper shipping. Let me know if you're interested and I'll see if I can find out who it is. It might be cheaper to buy it with them, then freight it from SoCal to GP.

Have you tried a Vampire S? I think the Canadian $ is doing well against the Aussie $ so you might look into that too.
There should be some at the US Nats to try if you're still looking then.

later
