question:             Cael, thanks very much for all your videos, I feel that it would be an honour to be trained by you and I really connect with how you train and describe things in your videos (some other videos either go to fast, or simply list a set of options, without giving an understanding or apprecitation of the general themes or things you should be thinking about). I was trying to view all of your past ISU videos but I can only see one up on the net on YouTube. Do you know where I can access all of them, or would you please ask someone to put them up again? Thanks Cael, Walter

 Hey Walter, thanks for the email. Also, thanks for watching the technique videos. We put the videos up to promote and advertise our camps. After I took the job at Penn State and our camp website changed, we needed to take them down. Also, ISU’s new camp webpage is different then the one we were advertising and I don’t want to confuse anyone. I will try to continue to add more technique videos as time permits. I’m sure you have seen but there are several technique videos on this site as well and I’ll continue to add more.  Thanks Cael
