Did y'all know that Kyle was part of a 'conspiracy' in the men's Super 1500 in the 2008 American Cup Final? It was the last competition of the 2007-2008 skating season, and the last race of the weekend. I first heard about this last year when Mtnme posted a John Coyle narrative about it, then I saw it on a friend's DVD. The evidence of this heinous plot is now available for viewing on YouTube courtesy of the guy who caught it all on HD video - Tony Chung. See it for yourselves, and you be the judge... Pretty funny, eh? Kyle's cohorts in this prank were J.R. Celski, Chris Creveling, Barry Winslow, Travis Jayner and Kyle Uyehara. Tony has plenty of other videos on his YouTube page, as well as DVD's of entire competitions on his website, www.shorttrackHD.com

MANY KUDOS to Kyle! As the winner of the AmCup Final, he has 'crossed the bridge' onto the National Team that will compete in the World Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria in 2 weeks! Kyle, you skated great this weekend - best of luck at Worlds!!! From the NMU Pressbox: “This was a very aggressive weekend of racing. I found myself in the right place at the right time and it could not have gone better,” said Carr. “I adapt easily to this sport and I was able to make the changes necessary to win.”webb.nmu.edu/Sports/SiteSections/PressBox/PressBox.shtml?team=26&articleID=108602&display=short

It's Kyle Carr's birthday! (I think)... [shadow=red,left,300] HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KYLE![/shadow] I just remembered a pic I shot at the American Cup Final in March - Levi Kirkpatrick on left, Kyle on right. This was Day 1, and Kyle went on to win his first-ever berth on the team that attended the World Championships! Tags: Kyle Carr / Levi Kirkpatrick / Short Track Speedskating
