Congrats Mark! I am getting a little sick of repeating myself on that subject but sometimes the old merry go round is good.

 

[easyphloem]

Good job again Mark! I too wish I could be there in Chicago, but I will be here, at home, waiting to hear the results!

[Raven]

That's some great press, loved the vid too.

Mark, you da man! Thanks for bringing us all with and setting such a great example - you'll always be a champ, no matter what. Best of luck and skill at the Morton Arboretum.

 

[Norm_Hall]

Dude, 18 wins? That's phenomenal!
See ya at The Morton Arboretum. You'll love the Master's tree.

 

[Dan_Kraus]

Congrats Mark! Is it 18 or 16 wins? not that it matters but I like to have my facts straight when I tell people.
Norm, tell us more, what kind of tree is the speed climb going to be in?

 

[Crazy_Jimmy]

Congrats Mark,you didnt really look like you lost a step in that video(el gato).

 

[Mark Chisholm]

El gato? Who told you that?

Thanks for the great comments- it means a lot to me. Yes, I hate to admit it because it shows my age, but it was 18 yrs. This will be my 20th ITCC. Man that sounds off. It feels like ten.

It is an honor to compete for my chapter and with such fantastic people. That is why I still try to make it back each year. It will be hard to quit when I do.

Next year i'll smooth it out a bit and hopefully make it a bit more of a competition for Mark C.

I heard someone call you that in Hawaii during the masters climb.You literally ran out that first station so it seem to fit.

Speed climb tree is a white oak growing at about a 10 degree angle. Should be fun!

 

[treebing]

who all was in the masters? results?

 

[Crazy_Jimmy]

I dont think jersey has a masters Kevin.

 

[Rocks_and_Trees]

Wha? No masters? Why not?

 

[Mark Chisholm]

Jimmy,
That is funny. My spanish guys have been calling me that for years. A few others now know that (I guess a few more now

)


No women competed (unfortunately). No Masters either. The board keeps voting it down. They have some pretty good reasons, but I am the President next year and am going to try some changes if I can.

 

[fordman]

Congrats Mark. I had a great time watching all of you and am happy to have goten to meet some of you. Maybe next year I will throw my hat in the ring and compete to.

 

[Paul Biester]

I am thinkig of moving from judge back into the ring.....would love to do it a few more times before i AM TOO old (45)now!just to enjoy the fellas again.....and to compete w the big guy before he hangs it up.....
Watching all of you guys really fans the flame......great job!!!!

 

[rangerdanger]
