Caro performs her Ave Maria SP at Burning Man festival outside of San Francisco and someone took a video!

Even on roller skates, with the whole thing looking like an outtake from that old science fiction movie "Dune", in the desert, the program STILL works!

I wouldn't have ever put figure skating and Burning Man together but it is absolutely perfect. Here's the description of the video:

"Itallian Olympic ice skater Carolina Kostner came by the Black Rock Roller Disco at Burning Man 2014 to perform a tribute to friend who recently passed. It was one of those magical moments that can only happen at Burning Man. BTW - There were several people using our wifi conection who never looked up from their screens to see this performance. Screw them,everyone there LOVED it!!!! It was the best skating I have ever seen in 14 years of presenting the Black Rock Roller Disco on the playa."

So cool!!:clap:

She's so laid-back, especially compared to how she was in quad before Vancouver when she was a nervous wreck all the time. Methinks she found peace and purpose.

Does anyone else here want to hang out with her?? New topic (start this thread somebody): which skaters would you chillax / unwind with?? :)

So bizarre I just learned what burning man is on a religious site and then find this thread. That's one weird gathering. Uber rich techies and hippies in the desert. And caro???? Just wow.

The very prolific and brilliant writer Armistead Maupin lives in SF and goes every year. I'd love to see him and Caro chill and exchange stories.

Wow, the fact that she's even there is interesting, and that performance was lovely! A side note: a tan looks great on her!

Almost surreal seeing Carolina skating in furry skating boots while skating to Ava Maria in what looks like a desert wasteland from the Road Warrior. I'm impressed that she even knew about the Burning Man Festival.
