ooh.. here it's just "the wave"..

and here it's a La-Ola-Welle, which is a bit redundant, really, since it means "the wave wave"

I wonder what they call it in Mexico? I will have to ask Mad Spender!

Yeah, I've only heard it called The Wave myself.

So, those were smoke effects, not light effects.

Still though.

It was a very fun trip... you can't tell because it's night but that was on the patio of a beach villa.. Aldo, the man I'm dancing with, was kind enough to loan me his villa for a couple nights at the end of my trip.

That's as mexican as I'm getting!

I've only heard it called 'the wave'. Of course, 'Mexican' is synonemous with the guy behind the take-out counter over here.

Here it is called 'bølgen' = the wave.

This explains why it tends to be called a mexican wave in the UK - we hadn't really seen it here before the 1986 Mexico World cup.

Hello people Thanks for putting my picture up on that site

I am the proud co-originator of the figure-skating *wave*.

It involves the camera crane initiating and contributing to the whole thing.

No, really!

Got a visual example of that you could You Tube for us?

My days of covering figure skating are long gone. I guess you'l just have to believe me or not, unless anyone out there saw it (1989 to 1996 NA events, once in Paris in '89).

Figure skating?!
Woof, can't stay long.

Me, in a rather hitchhikerish sort of mood.
And lonely, but only for a few more days...

Nuclear Confusion is now in the gallery.
