Introducing the Throwpod

Thanks. At least I beat you in the throwline, but then again so did everybody else!

 

I've sent him a text, he's probably still asleep!

That's a bit harsh Rupe, and the boy lent you his rope!!

I know, it was meant in fun and good spirits. He was very unlucky in the throwline when clearly his skills should have earnt him a lot more points, but the throwline is very tactical, if you hold out for tens you can end up with zero. I had two shots at tens and then went for 5's as I am all too acustomed with zeros.

 

And Im sure he beat me in every other event so a bit of banter wont hurt.

Results are up on the ISA website, and a link here in the tree climbing comp section.

 

Seems I moved into 17th somehow!!! I think they put Josephine Hedger in with the men and that moved me down one place, not sure how I moved the other place, I was sure I was 15th. Never mind.

The Throwpod was in action at the weekend at the Welsh 3ATC - I decided to have a climb as not many people had signed up, made a change from judging!! Weather was stunning and I managed a respectable time on the Premier climb - only to be beaten by Mr Pugsley, who did his run on the Sunday!! So first and second for the Throwpod. Thanks to the judges and sponsors for a good weekend!

It takes a little getting used to, it well balanced so if there is slack on release you will give it a wobble if that makes sense.

This is what I think about it although the design is improved and its now called the RopeKnight.
