Happy holidays everyone
I know for myself i had a great year in armwrestling. I moved to Peterborough and rejoined team buckhorn. I also started working for guy. I won a few tourneys, had some big wins and all out wars with some top guys in the 54s and 76. I was voted most sportsmanlike and most improved with guy and was also named teamed captain of ontario at canadians, this was a big one for me.
So my question to everyone is what are some of your memorable moments of 2011. What were some matches that stood out, pullers that made an impact. Tourneys that you had a blast at. Accomplishments that you are so proud of that you just need to share it with everyone else in the armwrestling world???
2011 was a great year for me and allot of other pullers. I can only hope 2012 is just as good
sorry for bad grammar ha ha

You had a year u ll never forget Joel. Congratulations! My favorite events were Joe's armmelters and Mike's classic. My proudest moment was watching my teammate train hard and win his 1st national title in Ottawa. Watching a 220 lb John Milne hook through the 242's and come from a foul away from winning his first title was a big highlight for me as well.

2011 was a good armwrestling year for me as well:
• I won $750 at the Toronto Pro Supershow, winning the left 220s and taking second in the right.
• I beat the Grippler with both arms.
• I won my 11th and 12th Provincial Titles.
• I ran a successful Nationals, where I took two seconds (with some close matches with Tyrrell), won the John Miazdzyk Memorial Award, the poker challenge, and the hand strength challenge.
• I also got some big first time wins this year:
• Kade Revelstoke (both arms) • Sylvain Perron (right arm) • Anatoly Skodtaev (left arm)
• I co-launched the Armwrestling History Channel website.
I didn't end the year the way I would have liked (I would have preferred to win the two round robins in Kingston), but the good news is that the 242 class is looking more competitive than ever, and it should be a lot of fun to compete in this class in 2012.

I had a great year.. seeing its my first full year ive had. i started placing in tourneys, started beating really good guys in 54's, then when i jumped to 76's started placing, and beating good guys there to. beat Joel Goodsell.. REALLY FAST! lol just kidding, but seriously.. won two provincial titles, and two national titles for youth. I was a candidate for rookie of the year, and devolped a good hit! This year i met so many good people in the sport. i love this sport so much, can't express how happy i am i got into the sport. Thanks to everyone for showing me so much stuff! Thanks to everyone for being so sportsmanlike at all the events. and thank you buckhorn for being so awesome! See ya guys soon!
