@spunkysk8er1997 Hi Tia.
As far as I know she was skating only TWO YEARS before that. Isn't that nuts? She was taking gymnastics before that though, and was planning on making that her goal. Anyway, if you go to Webshots/Davespectral - You will see some shots that I took of Sasha, when I met her at a local skate clinic. It was a THRILL! Thank you for skating! I know how tough it can be. If you read my YT bio here, you will see how much respect I have for the people who do it!

Thank you for posting this video. I love Sasha. This is stuff I have never seen before and could have never hoped to see unless you posted it. Thanks again.

Love the little arm 'slash' at the end of the opening section!! I am not sure I would have recognized her, had the name not been posted. You can see the trouble holding landing edges.....even then! Turned out to be a curse....terrific moment though.....best wishes
