In addition to adding to the alliteration, the letters in Eero Ettela’s name spell trouble for the rest of the ANTPM field. Upon entry Eero generated a storm of controversy, much of it centered around which axis he would use in the Spin To Win competition. With a few 1260’s and triple backs in his bag of tricks, Eero could go backwards, sideways or upside down and still come around right side up on top of the podium.
