It's the US Open Championships. Meaning it is the US Championships. So, what Kyle posted is correct.

I now have the top 4 Shred 30s posted on YouTube, as well as several other videos.

I know in France we have the French Open and the French Championships. The French Open is, as its name implies, an Open event that anyone can participate in. This means that Vasek, or David Clavens could win this event if they participated. That wouldn't make them "French Champion" (they're not French) but the French Open Champion.

The French Championship is only open to French footbaggers and the winner is the French champion..

Hence the confusion I think... This type of event can lead to a Canadian being US Champion like Caro!

Ya, I think a couple years back they debated whether or not to rename it the North American Championships because that's essentially what it is, but that never happened.

sorry for hijacking.
In 2009 the tournament will be around the same time? Meaning, beginning of July? If so, I might be there 2009.

Heya,
The 2009 US Open should be around the same time, give or take a week methinks. It is a long time out, but we are already starting to brainstorm about it. All are welcome, it should be fun!
