John Paris gets crazy in Kalamazoo
« on: May 11, 2008, 09:19:51 AM »


We had our first of three Tour D' Michigan events in Kalamazoo yesterday  Saturday May 10. It featured--Fun Stunt, 1/2A rat race, .35 race, slalom, combat and balloon bust.
John Paris used his Bi-Slob for the balloon bust and got pretty wild with it. He broke the Slob actually. John usually flies very conservatively but yesterday he was a wild man. The link above will take you to a video of his flight. #^

He is a Mad Man!
Here is a way to have the video show directly. Click on the little you tube button above the smileys, and insert the video number "O9u-UuYpUSE" between the brackets. Here it is!

You sure that was John?  The Tour D' Michagan looks like it got off to a great start, but John's flying was nothing short of wild.  You guys weren't having a few brews before the baloon bust started hey?  Just kidding John. ;D
