The chair shot was crazy.

Anything involving obstacles and then striking is pretty impressive. That was definately one of my favorites. Although, the 2 that top my list are:

Parker Bohn striking through the chairs
Chris Barnes flying eagle

Barne's Flying Eagle is still the most impressive in my eyes...

...the simple fact of how little margin of error you have in sending a pin over that far of a distance is just amazing to me.

I think the best thing about the flying eagle is not only did Barnes get it, but Reyes got it too!

Every propreitor who saw the chair shot cringed.

One of the stupidest thinggs the PBA has put on.

I'm sure a dozen kids have tried to thro a ball past the arrows already trieing to duplicate the shot.

Too bad none of you ever saw the real master of the trick shot, Andy Verripappa.  One of my favorites of his was to set a ball at the foul line, kick it, and have it do figure eights on the way to the pins.

Flying eagle is still my favorite, just because it's creative.

not only would the proprietors hate the lofting shots, but the 2,3,5 ball shots from last season.  People who don't know how to do those tricks properly will hit the racks.

I remember one or two of the shots from last year where they told the laneman to make sure the sensors were off.  I think Brad Angelo's spinning ball/towel ball shot was like that.  And maybe the 45-pin strike, if only to prevent the thing from jamming up in case there were pins left standing.

Man, that 45-pin shot was cool.  I loved how the pins just fell over in a wave instead of flying everywhere like they normally do.
