The awards banquet was hosted by our good friends at the Foglight Restaurant, a hop, skip and jump away from the Jackson homestead.  After an event full of hard work mixed with stress and mathmatics, it was great to let the proverbial hair down and relax to some good food, great people and free beer (OK, in hindsight the free beer was a problem).  Attached are some great candid EJ shots of the fun we had giving out our awards and raffling off cool new GoPro Hero2 cameras… everyone wanted one of those!

Special thanks go out to the folks who helped make this thing rock.  Kristine Jackson is top on that list along with Sneaky Pete our head judge, the judges themselves, the NOC guys who made our scoring life super easy, the loads of volunteers who helped lug stuff back and forth from the venue, the park rangers and local folks who wore smiles on their faces while we invaded their space, all the athletes for taking planes, trains and questionable automobiles to Rock Island for the event and to all who came and watch this first ever N. American world cup of freestyle!

You rock.  Special thanks again to the entire JK family, the NOC folks and GoPro who keep us smiling for the camera!

cheers
