eh, that's not quite what i had in mind. you'd have to watch every second of the earliest parts of stages to figure out some of those things like breaks attempted and that might not be doable. i'm not even sure a lot of those early moments are broadcast in the US. in the early parts of stages people are attempting breaks extremely frequently and its hard to differentiate among them. i mean its really really dynamic.
