From promoter Al Myers:
After the success of last year’s inaugural OTSM World Postal, John Mahon and I have decided to continue with the promotion again this year. This years competition dates are July 20th-21st.
Now for a little “background” on this postal competition. It is much different than the other postal meets we have.
The reason for these added stipulations is to give more credibility to the event. Since all lifts will be done at a set venue at the same time, with the same set of officially recognized officials there is no question to the validity of this World Championship. Also, I like the idea of everyone world wide doing the lifts at the same time, almost like a meet we are all at together. There are different lifts chosen this year to give a new challenge to everybody.
