CalPoly video and soothing green posted by Lone Shepherd on April 24, 2007
If anyone has good video of the CalPoly-SLO crash on Saturday which necessitated my dive onto Tucson turf, please email me. TerraBreak.org would be happy to host the video clip with appropriate videographer credit.
In site-related news, now that the competition is over, we've switched over to our soothing green theme for the summer. Look for a return to the blue after the 2007-2008 rules are announced!

Congrats all to another year! posted by Lone Shepherd on April 23, 2007
Just a short post, since the internet here in our hotel is rather spotty, but it was another fun year.
First, a few stats. Being on the flight line all day Saturday and Sunday, here are the stats as I have them. On Saturday there were 61 flight attempts, with 20 scoring flights. On Sunday there were 55 flight attempts, with 11 scoring flights.
And second, a teaser photo, from Rose Hulman's crash. More data and photos to follow within the next week or two. Also look for lots of comments from the TerraBreak staff about this year's competition.
The Virginia Tech Tragedy posted by Roadman on April 18, 2007
We here at TerraBreak.org would like to thank everyone for their show of concern and support for VT following this tragedy.
If you're looking for additional ways to help the team and Hokies everywhere, Friday is a national "Orange and Maroon Effect" day led by VT alumni all over the country. This is a tradition started at football games where the whole school would wear Orange or Maroon to the game. We encourage anybody going to competition that wants to show their support to join us on Friday.
See everybody in Tucson!
