The smaller flag on the bottom was the flag carried in the Bear Flag Revolt in Sonoma in June, 1846.

CA was annexed by the US shortly thereafter.

The art of flag throwing dates back to medieval guilds (principally in Italy). A guild's banner or flag was considered a symbol of purity, and as such it was not allowed to touch the ground.
. In acrobatical flag throwing, the thrower uses both hands to move the flag in a sitting, laying, or kneeling posture.The tradition of flag throwing is thought to have arisen from medieval battle, the ensign carrier being one of the most important soldiers on the field of battle, carrier of the symbol of the army, expected to defend the flag with his life and rally the troops to its colours. In the event of his being overcome, he would throw the flag to a comrade and so began the practice of hurling the banner high in the sky to land safely in the hands of another.
