since someone broke the seal on the indo-scythians...

 

I LOVE those!

Great examples, fellas ... thanks for posting (I always appreciate it)

 

Thanks for posting, Jwt708! I've considered adding a square shaped Spalahore to my collection but I've yet to follow through.

 

Yeah, and that particular one is really incredible!

 

Awesome video! She's amazing! It's an absolutely perfect routine until she stumbles slightly around the 1:25 minute point on the video. The imperfection makes it real.

 

Neat coin Steve
