I have to agree with you on some points. I was at XFC and got to witness it first hand. I think Garret Morrison and Matt Stek both flew wonderfully and out perfomed Chip Hide. As for the helicopter pilots. Jason Kraus flew a very agressive and difficult sequence but he also had a crash earlier in the comp. Curtiss nailed everything perfectly. He was very smooth and I never saw him make any corrections at all. He was just dead on perfect.
