1. I think in someways the level of bending the rules is really high in competitive games in the last couple of tournaments, in someways i would say welcome to the big leagues, it means a bit of respect that your opponent is willing to throw an extra elbow or stick their leg out to block a goal. I do apologize for not circling out there, it was a pretty dick move, wont happen again. I think that we did get a pretty vicious payback with cody falling down in the goal like 12 times and then sticking his foot out to stop a goal. My basic take on it is to let it go, for the most part i find it escalates things once you start arguing things out.

2. I agree, the freewheels are making a huge difference, your speed and aggressiveness are way up. I even like ben's coaster brake.

3. Basically having a person back is a good idea but i think that the person back has to have their back wheel to the ball. But it is a huge advantage when we are playing defense against only three people. I was playing defense in most games but ended up scoring the most goals for my team. Three attackers just makes sense.

4. looking forward to the midwestern championship in milwaukee on concrete, madison plays better on crete anyway, it is about time.
