2004 World Cup North West Region
My very first roller competition was the World Cup Fly in 2004.  Our Regional Judge was Dave Szabatura from New York.  I just had some young birds bred in January of 2004 but wanted to support the fly.  I was not surprised when I got a DQ for two birds landing early.  I learned a lot by participating.  I had the opportunity to travel with Dave Szabatura and Ivan Hanchett up to Canada and down to Washington.  We had a good time and I cant wait to do it again.
Here are some pictures of my first competition kit taken in April 2004, a few weeks before the fly
