I received an e-mail from Skatebuzz this morning--they are waiting for the footage from the video operators, and hope to have it loaded into the archives by the end of this week.

Thanks! I was wondering if you knew whether or not viewing the skatebuzz archives is free. I know that watching the event live was, but I'm not sure about the archives.

Don't know for sure about free access, but I don't think Skatebuzz has ever charged $$ for anything in the past...not yet, anyway.

Did Nobunari Oda compete in this competition? If so, does anybody happen to know how well he did?

Nobunari withdrew, citing an injury. The men's SP was skated last night. It was won by Maciej Cieplucha, the Polish National Champion, who gave an interesting program with a 3/3, but popped his loop to a double, and I believe singled his axle.

Liam Firus was seond, Patrick Wong third.


Ronald Lam imploded, and skated as though his program and he were not yet ready for prime time. The sr ladies SP's I saw all were pretty terrible, with falls and pops on most of the jumps. The Jr Pairs long, sr men's long, ladies long and Sr pairs long will be skated today, and are available on skatebuzz as streaming video live.

Thanks!

I think dorispulaski meant to post the above (her post #35) in the BC/YT SummerSkate thread. Oda did withdraw from Thornhill.
