Default What's your favorite youtube speedpass?

That used to be the standard contest finish. In fact, the first time I was
there when was coming in, I was told to come and watch, "the contest
finish". There was no contest, just someone having fun. I also saw loops
flown on downind. I did that once (twice, actually) at Alice Springs, NT,
Australia in their twin Lark with a passenger, and got grounded for the day.

Try that at a contest these days and see what your score sheet looks like...

I guess it's better to sit back at watch a football game as the players
try to give each other concussions - yeah - that' the behavior we should
be teaching!
