22" Grand Prix was super exciting. The top four dogs were a full second ahead of the next group of dogs. And dogs 2-4 were all within .04 seconds of each other. The video is a four way split screen. First at full speed, then at 1/4 speed so you can take it all in.
Here is the summary:
First dog off the teeter: Pickle
First dog on the dogwalk: Pickle
First dog off the dogwalk: Rage
First dog out of the Poles: Pickle
First dog on the Aframe:Focus
First dog off the Aframe: Rage
First dog over the Finish Line: Rage

Pay attention to your dog and your dog will pay attention to you
Great comparison
I watched the video pausing it every so often to look at relative positions of the 4 dogs. At the very last jump all 4 dogs are all in the air above it at essentially the same time. Now that's close.

 WOW! I watched it soooo many times! It was great video to show just how much the World Cynosport is really about speed!

Sliding Seesaws Look So Cool
I am curious whether they are faster.
From the slowmotion video, counting frames from when the dogs break the entry plane of the seesaw board to when the board hits the ground:
Focus; 132 frames; 1.100 seconds;
Pickle & Rage; 134 frames; 1.117 seconds;
Encore; 149 frames; 1.242 seconds.
Focus, Pickle, and Rage have practically identical times over the seesaw.Â
Rage certainly had the longest, most spectacular, slide. The dog was sliding well before reaching the seesaw's pivot.
When the dog is sliding, where is its weight? Is the majority of the weight shifted rearward?
Is Rage a significantly lighter dog than Focus or Pickle?
They were all fabulous runs!
WOW!! just look at Rage's
