I think Brendan tried to make it pretty clear that the flying bike wasn't anything to do with him.

That's exactly how I remember it.

So really it's not what props they use so much as how they use them that matters.

Though I challenge anyone to seamlessly incorporate a flying bike into their routine.

I DO like Pasha, but the complete biased towards him in this forums is off putting.”

I agree, I like him but even I will admit that he get away with a lot of things in this forum that not many pros do;

Im not the biggest Aliona fan out there, but she is constantly criticized for using a lot of props and its interesting to see that she is actually one of the pros who dont use a lot of props ; Double standards here .

I think he would claim that one. Actually if I remember right it was one of the most fluent incorporation of the wires into a routine.
