The Lost Skating Interviews by David Barba & James Pellerito

[aftershocks]

I had recently mentioned these interviews compiled by Barba and Pellerito when they were doing research for a figure skating documentary a number of years ago. Once they decided to focus their documentary exclusively on Johnny Weir (Pop Star On Ice, 2009), they no longer had any use for this interview footage, so they later handed it over to Jenny Kirk and Dave Lease who by that point had recently started The Skating Lesson.

The interview footage was previously accessible on the original TSL website. Apparently, DL has recently uploaded some of the interviews to Youtube:

There's additional footage that I remember viewing on the old website with Robin Cousins and with Joe Inman. Plus, there's probably a Part 2 with Bianchetti...

Excellent interviews.
