Paganello 2007 – Post Tournament Jam
Plenty of freestylers remained in Rimini on Monday, especially after a decadent post-tournament meal at San Marco, piazza jam and (from what I hear) a bacchanalian disco party that lasted until at least 5am. Things like this happened in the jam:

Paganello 2007 Begins
Paganello 2007 got underway today with endless jamming under sunny skies followed by a ginormous opening party. Looks like there will be almost 60 freestylers in the competition. Unfortunately, Filippo Cavalca won’t be among them as he hurt his shoulder just yesterday. We wish him a quick recovery – we will miss you Filippo! Most turbo so far this week is Alex Alexandrov, who jammed for 3+ hours in the rain and soft sand yesterday, then followed it up with about 6 hours today. He was still jamming tonight at the party.
Tonight’s opening party had wine, pasta, freshly-caught fish, belly dancers, a medieval drama performed on stilts, a live band and fireworks. Those who wake up in time for the 10:30 players meeting tomorrow will play the Open Pairs prelim. 12 teams will advance to the semis from the 24+ teams entered, then the rest will have a playoff for two more spots.
Now it is time for me to sleep, so my old legs can make it through a three minute prelim round tomorrow. Buona notte.
Video: 1998 FPAW – Almost Dropless
Murf and Ted were on fire at the FPAW1998 in Seattle, winning the finals with a performance that was called Routine of the Decade. Their tournament began with this prelims performance. Dropless with huge closing catches (almost) all the way through.
