    How did Staab get in the top 10? Nolder killed it.

    Great vid set! Love it! Did this take place before the Vision Rock n Roll jam? Overall the skating here is considerably better. I have to agree with the judges on the final standings… maybe put Phillips in first just for showing up and being cool. Park had a sad plant that was tuck knee. I’m going to go with that for fav trick. Hawks quad-twist was sick. Since this is a fantasy I’m gonna call that set as one trick.

    How about that above the coping miller flip by Cab? I got the sense that he pulled it out just for yucks. Who the hell can do that?

    I was at this contest. So was GVK, but we didn’t know each other. Two or three years earlier I was the same venue for a Star Trek convention. I think George Takei was there. For some reason the Chicago Blowout wasn’t in the Vision video reissues.
