The most important honors are the two Jammers 'routine of the year' awards in 93 and 99, because those are both finals routines where I went outside of reality and that is what it takes to win and should take to win-99 especially. There were so many great teams and routines in 93 and 99, to come away with that honor was huge. Routine of the year reflects the cooperation it takes between partners for everyone to blow the lid off rather than an artificial world title where conditions or play may have been lower than the peak of the year. Honorable mention is US Open 96 when I played with Snapper and Brian Meigs and took a jam that Carrasco, Deaton, Fresh and I were having on to the comp field. Those guys all stopped jamming, and noticing that they were watching, focusing the energy on me, I channeled that into the most incredible round I had in years--coming off knee reconstruction in 95.
