The footage for the running home part was just horrible. I can't film it right now due to I just had an appendectomy.

Better to enjoy the first half for now, I guess.

Great video. I like the idea of burying the core tail before putting the cover in the core (different order than Samson's instructions, which if followed it's easy to prematurely lose the tapered cover)for a small or tight eye, thanks for that tip.

Does that size Toss and come with the quick release clamp or did you retrofit it?

NickfromWI · Jan 9, 2011

I retrofit it with a bike seat clamp. It took barely a minute and cost about $5 for the clamp.

Spliced Velocity is what Andy Young used to win the Masters Challenge yesterday

TimberJack · Jan 17, 2011

Did he really use the spliced velocity to win or just plain skill?

Probably the spliced velocity...knots would just plain slow him down...less stream lined
