Richard is bombing badly...
how to full screen the stream?
Does Armin M. train in Colorado? If so, the decision to send Dornbush just looks dumber and dumber.

four pops, ouch!
Dornbush popped so many jumps.. it looked like he kind of didn't care by the end.
That was painful.
OMG, USFSA really didn't do Richard a favour by sending him to this event. Poor thing. ((())))
Oh. Lord.
Let's hope this the absolute low point of his career. I lost track of how many jumps he popped. Four at least. And this is not a program that works when not well skated. Fortunately the audience was kind.
Is he having a mid-youth crisis or what?
Holy smokes, I wouldn't wish this on my worst anyone or anybody for that matter, I think he only landed 1 triple?This is so so so sad, endless pops. And if one is going to skate to Clint Eastwood music one must be cool in the vein of Evgeni Plushenko (i.e. "Blondie's" total confidence & command combined with "Angel Eyes" deadly charisma). Jmho.
Completely different league of skating by Ricky from the rest so far. But he lost just about all his jumps. I guess he had to choose between skating and jumping with what he had in the tank.
Now, if they don't judge that first element as a fall, at least we know the tech panel is being consistent.
ETA: Well, that's disappointing.
The USFS and everybody who defended its decision to send Richard over Armin to 4CC are helping themselves to some nutritious crow right about now. Not only did they break their own rules and tradition to send the far lower ranked Dudbush here instead of Armin, but Armin, who already trains in the area and is acclimated to the altitude, would've won just by being the last man not gasping for air in the fetal position.
I feel badly for Ricky.. but I still believe in his talent.
