Bailey Playing Tennis Soccer at UCLA
Bailey has been coming with me to UCLA quite a bit lately. It's great having him by my side everyday! Here are a couple of videos of Bailey's skill as a goalie. It's amazing how quick he is. Sometimes he literally stands 1 foot away and still snatches the ball out of the air!
Here's a another look at one of his more amazing saves. Might be a little dark, but I think it still looks pretty darn amazing!
This video (I know it's hard to see us clearly) was taken of Bailey and I at the Ashley Whippet Invitational (AWI) Western Regional Qualifier. This event was held in Scottsdale, Arizona the day before the AWI World Championship took place at the same location. There were amazing competitor teams from all over the globe. Bailey and I had a great day and finished 6th overall after this freestyle routine!
Bailey jumped 14 feet 6 inches. His best jump in competition to date is 17 feet. We're trying a new technique for the future, hopefully I can get him into the 20 foot range.
Bailey and I pulled off one of our better freestyle performances in the USDDN Western Regional in Del Mar California. The event was part of Wags for Wishes where proceeds are donated to the Make a Wish Foundation. Our performance earned us an invitation to the World Championships.
Bailey and I competed in the Purina's Incredible Dog Challenge in 2005. Unfortunately we did not qualify to compete in the finals, but we did get invited to participate in the "Swim Race". You only really get a glimpse of Bailey, but hey, it's a moment of fame baby! You can spot us swimming in two of the shots. When the race first starts, we're one of the first in the water. Then when the race is almost over you can spot us a the team in DEAD LAST way behind everybody. Bailey had never seen me in the water and turned around and immediately swam back to shore. He could not recognize me as a legless Joel. I had to literally walk out of the water before he realized it was me. Then I led him in the water and we began our long lap of LAST PLACE. :-)
Bailey and I were 1 of 12 teams worldwide to be invited to Madison Wisconsin to participate in ESPN's Great Outdoor Games Disc Drive event. The Disc Drive event is essentially a long distance frisbee competition where the dog cannot cross the start line until the frisbee is released.
This is Bailey's moment on the 2004 ESPN Great Outdoor Games. This is where Bailey is competing in the second round. Great shots of him, and the announcers give him lots of praise. Unfortunately the announcers are not so nice to me. :-(
The rest are more clips from the 2004 Great outdoor Games that Bailey appeared in.
1) The announcers describing the event and a first round summary. You get to see a short clip of Bailey catching a frisbee.
2) Summarizing the competition up to the second round and you'll see Bailey in a little tribute to Alex Stein (The father of Disc Dogging).
3) This is just a little compilation of ALL Bailey's appearances in the Great Outdoor Games.
