John and Jorge, you are so kind. I really can't believe it all worked out as well as it did. It wasn't what I have done in practice but it was about as good as I could do with my present ability and skills....onstage.....at the worlds.....while getting hotter and hotter from the stilts.....and the pressure!!! It's so great to be able to dream and it's even better when a long awaited dream starts to come together. I owe top spinning a lot for helping me keep my sanity through some of my crazy days and weeks.
Jorge, your video work of my freestyle is paying off already. It's much easier to have people find me on youtube. And you make it all look so much better.
John, you will be the one to which people will be saying "I can't believe it". Your progress with the fixed tip is phenomenal.
