Tony Murcia

I just met Tony Murcia today while checking people in. It's his first contest at SPoT. There were a lot of you here for your first contest today. Thanks for going for it like Tony here even though you were nervous. You will pile, you will slam, you might even feel a little silly because you're a beginner. Who cares. You're out there. That's what these contests are - all ages and all skill levels.
