Enjoy!

Thanks for uploading it, poptop!  The video quality is great (except for the open whip out of frame).  Is the audio problem due to rendering or did the camera have a problem?

Carlos did a great routine.  Maybe he could have been a little more dynamic and risky; he seemed to be trying to be very careful not to miss.  In fact, the only big miss was in the last trick which could have been spectacular.  By the way, on the high trapeze the top hit the glass decorations hanging from the roof.

I look forward to seeing the rest you have.  And perhaps the Earl will release his no-drop-while-balancing-on-a-rola-bola routine

thanx PoP

very good level , same analysis as Jorge on the end and the fact that he feels comfortable by playing a little "understated"..cool control still, a natural body posture,but he seems a bit stressed ....

hopefully next year we'll get Gus,Salvador and Gerardo : our eyes will bleed

Very nice.  Many thanks to Carlos and to poptop.  I really enjoyed watching it.  I will watch it many more times.  After reading your comments I expected him to be a little more "stiff" but I thought he looked comfortable.  It seemed like he was having a good time.  When he made the catch from the throw that hit the chandeliers he raised his arms in triumph.  That seemed spontaneous and made me feel like he was enjoying the moment.

I especially enjoyed my time with Carlos and his crew.  They were a nice bunch and tried their best to get along and connect with others.  I wish I could have had some more time with them.

Thanks again poptop.
You had a great routine!  Very well deserved 2nd place and a favorite to win nats!

Mark said afterwards that he had wrapped the tops too tight.

Sorry about the sound--I think the camera was just too close to the speakers and overwhelmed by the volume.  I tried to add these to the first post, but I reached some sort of limit.  Here are some more:

Poptop thanks for putting these videos up for us.  Everyone did a great job and I enjoyed them very much.  I'll be watching them multiple time, I'm sure.

That looked both worse, and not as bad as I remembered. The misses that I remembered were not as bad as I thought, and the misses I forgot about were worse. I didn't wind the tops too tight actually, the ones that I missed on the throw were because I threw them WAY too hard. I'll just have to keep practicing so I can crush you all next year.

It is in Chico, of course.  That was a joke between Californians.  I guess it has to do with school rivalries or something like that.

SirBoot: to get a title you have to enter every time you can.  You never know what will happen or who will actually show up.

thanx for the tip !!
Bakersfield is not a place to spin unless with a good 'ol 18 wheeler
