I was under the impression those backspins were spun to the exact point
of the beginning of the next sample (sick sick sick!).... but i could be
wrong... see i wasn't up front and i forgot my contacts! very difficult
to see anything but a blurr of fingers. They could have been frying eggs
up there to some background music for all i knew (plus i could only see
the breaker's feet when they did spinning handstands)... i guess i'll
have to get the video. =)

ps. Thought it was very cool that a chick made it into the finals, and
the crowd was very encouraging.
