22 of 26 Tries

Scroll right to see all 22 tries

Many have asked how this was done. To get the skirt to fly out like this, Whitney Sue did Pirouettes (spun on her toe) and on about the 2nd or 3rd turn I would snap.
It took 26 tries to get this one! Here are 22 of them! The lights flash at 1/1200th sec so they stopped the skirt.
My thanks to Erich Mangl for the GIF animation! http://www.pbase.com/erichmangl
