Freestyle and net? If there's freestyle, I'm going to make every effort to come. East Coasts in NYC sounds too good to pass up.

[Max Power]

Yes there will be freestyle and net just like the last 29 ecfc's. If you aren't very good at math you might not realize that this is the 30th ecfc. Lets make it the most amazing one yet.

[C-Fan]

The second you can confirm dates, I'm buying tickets. They're super cheap at the moment, so the sooner the better.

[ThomASS]

Tons of cool stuff on the dumbo site. I'll be up for this for sure.

[C-Fan]

It's looking likely that I'll fly in the Friday of East Coasts, hang in the city through Sunday and compete, and then visit my sister in Jersey for a few days after. So I might be down for some NYFA shreds after East Coasts, possibly even as late as the following weekend.

Just need a date confirmation, and I pull the trigger on tickets.

[yyz]

The dates are solid, But to be safe I am going to have a meeting about in door sites next week, so hold that finger if you ARE NOT just freestyling.

[C-Fan]

Tickets bought. See you all in NYC that weekend, tournament or not!

[etphonehome]

NYC doin' it LARGE!

[dolercoaster]

It's been super slow at work this week, so I decided to make a East Coast possible poster/t-shirt design....hopefully I can find a way to get some actual information on there without totally ruining the design.


hopefully the 30th annual ECFC will be HUGE!!!!

(and for those freestylers that are coming, y'all can get a sneak peak of NYC at NYFA jam 6 in a couple of weeks.....how's that for forum cross-promotion )

[etphonehome]

Damn Bruce, that's baller. Sign me up for one of those!

[ThomASS]

Awesome design!


Is is Pete, Manu and who? And a little man under the bridge?

[dolercoaster]

Thanks guys!


It's Manu jousting against Florian Goetze (the original image was from the Green Cup 2008), Ben Cooke on top as the freestyler, and Chewbacca under the bridge, just for Drew
