Np hon :) I found it very interesting to interview Byron as well. Field movements are among skating's most neglected teachings, and as we know from watching skaters who demonstrate a keen sense of flexibility and polish on these moves (Sasha Cohen, Nicole Bobek and Michelle Kwan are all fine examples) they can be very effective. They are also by far the SP element with the least attention paid to, and the MovesMaster program seems to have some good principles.
