I had a good time at the show except for the hour line up to get through airport security this morning. Great location. Lighting could be better on stage if we want to get picky.

WE left the same airport (ATL) and drove by the hopspital here in Denver that the TB positive guys used LOL.
Airport security sucks and is a joke if ay ask me. Why would they frisk some old lady like she was Al Queda???

My comment of other means that people that own vyotech don't need it to make money.  The investment group that owns it is well off from other business ventures. 

The only way to save the sport is via online.  There are a lot of freaks that like bb'ing, but don't want to go to the show.  Women's bb'ing can actually draw quite a few people.  Because the schmoe's will pay anything to see the girls up close.  I was the first person to stream a contest online live.  Our peak number was 1700 for the night show.  We didn't pub it at all.  We simply mentioned it 2 days before.  I imagine the numbers are pretty good for the bb'ing webcast as the casual fan can check it out for 15 min and leave.  It is the future.

My only beef, is that they had too little coverage of the strongman. ;D

But that's just my personal interest in strongman comps, and I think it was great to see Shawn Ray getting all those different events into one expo, definitely hope he'll continue in the footsteps of Arnold.

Next year, I hope Shawn can get either WSM or IFSA to co-promote the event. Would be sweet to see either Pfister, Marunde or some up and coming strongmens.

General observation here ..... Back in the old days a lot of contests were promoted by the Power and Olympic lifters with a men's bodybuilding contest held at the very end in an attempt to keep the audiance in their seats so that someone would be there when the lifters' trophies were handed out. Sometimes the BB contest would start way after midnight and on a few occasions end at approximately 5 am, but a good number of the audiance would stay until the event was finished even under those conditions.

Nowadays I notice that a lot of the audiance leaves the contest when the women's part of the contest is over. And only about 25% of the original audiance remains to see the men's finals. I notice that this is true in NPC events held in California.

Now may be the proper time to present the women's trophies at the very end of the contest in an effort to keep the audiance in their seats until the very end.

As you can see I like to enjoy myself with a little help from my friends. You have the uncanny ability to do it by yourself.

It is jmo, but  shows with the top 5 looking  asthetic like kai, dareem, & Ronny will do much better when that type of physique wins. Its a great way for the smaller pros to build their name. DOnt get me wrong, i am a fan of the freaks like Dj and branch, but thats not what attracts NEW fans. My friends who arent into bodybuilding see pics of Stan, Phil, and Dugdale in magazines and say wow i would love to look like that. Bodybuilding.com is doing a great job imo of broadening the horizon of bodybuilding, and i hope it continues to grow. I would say that any pro show w/ a webcast is a success. Once again JMO..
