Paris!
Thanks for all the support guys. Paris was an awesome event and I am really proud of all of my guys on ECI for their hard work in taking 2nd place in Paris
I said to all the guys before the event that they were Veterans and they proved me right, coming back from early losses in the prelims and quarter finals to handle business and play with heart.
The Division 1 winners, Knauf, are a very solid team who we also faced in Belgium for 1st and 2nd. Much respect to these guys.
ECI have been very fortunate to be supported by DYE for C7 gear and DM7 markers, Draxxus for their awesome lines of paint, Slothball for Karma products, PGi for the best magazine bar none and Lucky for super-fast electronics. All of these products have played an integral part in getting ECI to three podium finishes in the 2007 Millennium Series (I don't think any other team has produced more than three podiums in this division).
We have also been supported by teams such as MK Storm (hats off to you guys + girl, great training partners), Notorious Kids, Stealers Am and London Nexus this year. Individuals such as Jack McEvoy, Bunny, Spike, Jamie Brandon, Stef, Ash, Ellcie, Tommy, Jeff, Ray Ko, Neil, the Hoggs, Ian Hudson, Adrian Saunders, Mark Fenton and many others have helped the team stay focussed. It really means a lot to have people rooting and pitting for us at the events.
Having progressed through the divisions of the NSPL in '05 and '06, 2007 has seen ECI focus solely on training at the Dartford 7s training grounds. Dave Stewart runs the best training site in the UK and this is the backbone for Millennium teams - I think every UK podium in 2007 has come from a team training out of a D7s site!
ECI stands ten strong at every event with Kyle Mucha, Mark Winwood, Ryder Sibley, Stu Mcadam, Mark Gerrard, James Beadle, Mark Dale, Nick Goryn, Ian Miller and Dave Simpson on the roster.
