There is too much bias for reputation and I have a hard time enjoying any sport that relies solely on a judges opinion.<BR/><BR/>My mom is also an avid fan however.Travis Erwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09420879160702098979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9020480448743700564.post-60966735970220113662009-03-29T10:05:00.000-07:002009-03-29T10:05:00.000-07:00Hope your eyes aren't too strained from all the TV...Hope your eyes aren't too strained from all the TV viewing :) It's interesting considering all the trends of who's up and who's down in the skating world.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12831169405732892599noreply@blogger.com
