Shane Wiskus (gak) Cassina to 1-arm

Tim tells me this wasn’t intentional.

It certainly looks intentional. 😮

Click PLAY or watch Shane on Twitter.

One reason Shane looks so calm is that he’s done this before in competition.

The biggest surprise for me was Jade Carey. You know, the AAer.

The depth of this group of Seniors is fantastic. It might just be the greatest competition I’ve ever watched.

Most impressive was tumbling difficulty. Double doubles were common. You had to compete the first triple double ever to get special attention.

I wouldn’t want to be Tom Forster trying to select the invitees to Worlds Camp. Almost everyone could qualify to a Worlds final.
