About
In the “what was even going on back then?” file, we have this skill being entered into the actual official code of points as the “Lori-hop.” Because I guess we name things after people’s first names starting here and never before or after. It’s a little over-familiar if you ask me. That’s Ms Strong to you.
Lori Strong competed this mount at the world championships as early as 1987 in Rotterdam, though the “Lori-hop” did not enter the code of points until the 1993 update, where it lived until all naming was removed from this B element in the 2009 update.
