Sweet, keep me posted Zac!

Also, an announcement about women's routines, they will be 2 minute routines. Intermediate will still be a minute thirty. More info to come!

Red, I personally consider that a little long for women's routine. Why not 1:30, save the 2:00 for worlds?

Thanks for the question Aaron! The other two events that actually had women's freestyle routines in the U.S. in the last year 12 months were the Green Cup and Worlds I believe, both allowed up to 2 minute routine times for women. The U.S. Open is carrying on with that. After seeing Shawnell do fine with it, and knowing what Caro can do as well as Ashley (the three main competitors I know of that are competing) I don't see it being an issue. Other major events such as Todexon (and as far as I have been informed, this year's Worlds) are offering women's Open routines at 2 minutes. I am pretty chill on the subject either way, but if in fact the trend around the world is going 2 minutes, to keep the women competitors at 1:30 at the Open would end up putting them at a disadvantage at other events. And after seeing what Tina and the other women shredders are capable of, I think the shreditas can hang with 2 minutes just fine! If anyone has any other questions about events (or anything related to the Open) please feel free to pm me or email me. Thanks and see you in the circles!

Zach, what happened to the road trip of awesomeness?!

Anyways I am looking for crash space, me +2-3 people. I prefer sleeping on the ground (trust me I refuse to use me bed) Really save on cash since I'm low as it is :-p

Anyways I am road tripping from Green Bay, WI to Portland, contact for details and I am willing to go a little out of the ways to pick some one up.
