That was huge field of competitors that year.
The 2004 NATs might have been the best and most competitive stunt contest ever held. I came in a pretty competitive third and I still think that was a better week for me in most respects than when I won it in 06 or came in second by a whisker in 08.
2004 was definitely the *first* year Bear got his 19, by himself in the first row. I think he got a 19 again later, but maybe that was not the front row, or at least he wasn't by himself.
