Total Competitors: 18 Individual Entries: 39. Heartland Armwrestling Inc. was just one of numerous events at this summer festival including the Replica of Vietnam Memorial - The Moving Wall, quilt show, parade, street dance, mechanical bull-riding, antique sales, carnival, and melodrama (on and off of the armwrestling table). This realtively small tournament packed talent and determination! An amazing summer day in Tilden was dotted by celebrations that had something to offer to anyone.

Wow no offense but I'm glad I didn't go, awful turnout. TJ why didn't you pull and do you know that guy Trent Hansen who won the novice 0-176 lbs. novice class and how good is he? Can he beat you?

[Trapper Saltzman]

josh...Trent Hansen is one of my best freinds He and I and my cousin David schmidt all grew up together and graduated together,and he doesn't pull but came to practice for the first time ever last week and decided to go to tildon, he won not to take any glorious victory from him but he was the only one in his class....but a better matchup for you from NE would be Darby! or TJ

[Josh Handeland]

I look forward to pulling them; especially TJ.

Couldn't make this one, had to get ready for a training class in Des Moines. I have been going up there almost every week now. I don't know if he could beat me or not, If he is at practice tomorrow we will find out, If I had to bet, I would say he could beat me. You come get your "W" against me.. I wouldn't brag about it when you do, it is not an amazing feat. Darby would be a good pull for you though.. Your next chance is River boat days in August 22nd, Unfortunatly I wont be there.,(wife made plands to go to the IA state fair) . The next chance after that would be Sep 19th at Whistle stop days, but again I wil be missing that event, (will be in GA for military schooling) Wont be at Toproll on the 8th either, racing in Oberlin KS.. so maybe next year.. until then its Tj 1 - Josh H 0.. Heck if I retire, and you get real good I can say I went undefeated against you.. ;D

Tj I look forward to your posts up here allways good for entertainment,,,,and Josh Darby isnt pulling Aug 22 but he will be at the whistle stop days
