Sassy, Richard ... that's what they can be :-) http://www.dlridings.com/kt2005/dag1/ungdom/pages/DSC_9706.html That was a tough week-end. The skaters are hammering away at my web-page waiting for the shots to come up. I pick a lot, because the judges like to see the various formations too and use the pictures to discuss, among themselves afterwards and in training programs, the standards for judging points. To give you and idea ... my pages usually have a couple hundred hits a day between PAWs. After the competition, there have been around 13,000 hits a day. I'm going to be the official photographer for the world championships in April. THAT will be tough. The younger ones are fairly easy to predict. They have to do a certain number of formations and you can feel them coming. The senior team, usually world champions, sometimes number 2 ... they do the same formations but in blazing speed. They don't waste time on them. They explode from one to another and if you don't have your timing there, you're lost. One team is bad enough, but the world championships ... there will be ONLY teams that good there. Thanks again, guys. Daniel On Tue, 18 Jan 2005, Richard S.
