who is everyone

hi everybody, this is Jared. i couldn't resist using an alias here but i think that either people should use their real names or post here who they are so we can know who is posting things. i think its pretty obvious that James is James, but who is onlyafleshwound, for example.

anyway, i think this is a really good idea for the club and i hope everyone gets an account soon. this should help foster an even stronger community mindset.

Two more medals for the club!

Congratulations to Cait and Olivia for their medals in the Y14 women's saber event at Colorado! Cait took home a silver and Olivia took the bronze! If anyone has any pictures from the event please post them!

Why you should not Snowboard two days before a national competition.

Connor and Alex in their class,
Connor falling badly on his wrist
A picture of Connor standing up, just to prove he actually knows how to ride....
Connor at the ski patrol, not buying my suggestion to amputate and get a hook for a hand.

Alex wins a medal

Congratulations to Alex for his 8th place finish in the Y14 Saber event. He helped make us the only club to get two fencers in the top 8 in that event!

Nick wins a bronze

Congratulations to Nick for his fantastic fencing at the Colorado Springs Super Youth Circuit! Nick tied for third in the Y14 mens saber event.

Bronze medal and a broken arm


Ok, so snowboarding before the tournament was not the best idea... But Connor didn't let it bother him, he fenced great and took home a bronze medal in the Y12 event.

How to post a video to the Blog

Neither the site nor the blog has the free space to host a video but there is a service called YouTube that will host the video and allow you to post it here, as I have done.(I will load a fencing video once I have one, until then you all get to watch a vidoe of Sofia) Once you sign up with them you can upload a video and it will give you a block of code and a link. Copy and paste that code in the text area on the create page for your post and when you publish it you will see the video here. If you post the link then when you click the link it will take you to the site instead of playing the video in the blog.
