Video from the fenceline, on the outside of the showline looking toward the crowd. Great view of the maneuvers from the "other side".

Notice the amount of offset slot uses for the PURR at 6:45. ;)

Nice, they're starting to look really good! Btw, look at that sun sparkle!

Pretty cool vantage point for the Max Turn, and I think that's the coolest angle for the Warrior Loop I've seen. :)

Also, shows the height difference needed for the solos' opposing hits to look correct to the crowd aside from other offsets.
