THE ALL AROUND:

Cancun will host the 79th FIG Congress from October 25-27. This Congress, among other things, will elect the new FIG President, and members of the Executive and Technical Committees.

For the first time in several years the current FIG President, Bruno Grandi, will run opposed in the figures of Adrian Stoica (ROU) and Vassily Titov (RUS). …

USA reserve Alex Naddour is obviously suffering some swelling from that new ink. 🙂

I spent a couple of days last week shooting video with a pro, Chris Hutchinson, from Tumbl Trak. And learned a lot.
