R.I.P. Dave Copeland

Past Olympic judge and lifelong coach Dave Copeland from Canada died peacefully on Sept 18th.

If you ever met Dave, you remember him. He’s one of those unforgettable characters.

You can leave a remembrance on his Facebook page.

Kohei goes 87.75

Wins All Japan.

Still the man to beat in Doha, I’d say. If he hits 6/6 he’ll be tough to beat.

British men’s Worlds team named

Some tough calls for new head coach Paul Hall.

It would be crazy to leave off medal contenders Max and Nile unless they were injured.

The British women’s team will be announced at a later date.

U.S. men’s trials LIVE on YouTube

Well done USAG.

This is exactly what fans want, assuming there’s no broadcasting rights agreement in place.

Donothan Bailey is out because of a couple of injuries.

Team and scores will be announced immediately after the event. I’m surprised LIVE scoring is not happening. I thought the new USAG was transparent.
