thats awesome Scott! I love to see some more Downunder athletes do these types of shows but there is so much politics between federations it is such a bother to have to ask permission to do them. The only ones I know of are NABBA competitors and the odd INBA. As far as I know there hasn't been a FAME sanctioned show down this end of the world for some time...
