A scene from the press conference this morning. (Featured Chris Ott, David Clavens, Tina Ã„berli, Vaclav Klouda, PT Lavern (not sure of the spelling on that one).

Clavens and Vasek are explaining some tricks to the reporters... start with stalls, around the world, doubles (both were wearing jeans, other shoes)

DC "Ok Vasek, you show them some ducks and spins, I'll get into shorts and show some other tricks". Vasek does a run with all kind of spins, ducks, spinning ducking, double spinning, then Clavens is ready.

"Ok, so I'm going to do nemesis...first you do.."builds up, builds up, one dex, two dex, three dex.

Ok now for nemesis. Normally this takes a few tries...

So he hits it first go. Everybody cheers.

Circle comp was today. Toni P/Reid S/Manna M/me as a spectator was probably the best pool. Not sure who went through on that one. Jay Boychuck and Phil Morrison ripped it up, probably the best of the day. Semis will be crazy.

Pizza party tonight. Good to see all the elite athletes are keeping up a healthy diet.

Lon went OFF in circle.
I think his last run was, like, only fearless?
Like, every run of his in circle was crazy intense.

Hey, thanks so much for all the updates!

However, I'm a little confused, I dont see Jim, Norek, Anssi, Nick, or Damian in that "circles qualification results" webpage. Also, did Dave or Vasek compete in circle?

boyle · Post by **boyle** » 04 Aug 2010 17:21

No Vasek in Circle.

Clavens got 10/10 from all judges in his circle.

cool!!
Great morning with a lot of news ^^
I'm still stuned knowing that there's already videos of semis :O
Gona watch them now!!!

Thanks everybody

EDIT:
Cool David dropless.
I really liked Milan's rutine the most. Sorry about the drop, but the rutine was so intense and solid, with a lot of heavy tricks, incluiding steppin whirling swirl at the end, so crazy.
No Vasek yet?
