My first competition was just this last year, Rebound Rumble in Portland Oregon. I had seen a small off-season event before that, but Portland was my first, and so far my only real event. I am told that Portland lacks the energy of some of the larger events, but I find that hard to believe. That place was rocking. I did not see anyone that was not caught up in the excitement and who did not return changed in some way for the better.
