The Hinchburg Chronicles

We have a few days left before Season 24 starts.  Let's enjoy some more James and Sharna!


The quality and audio of this video is altered (probably for copyright reasons) but this may be the only video that has the judges comments.  This was the dance where we all discovered James Hinchcliffe.  Loved how surprised and impressed they were with James in Week 1.



4,550,000+ and counting!



James gets his first fake tan, has a run-in with Ricardo, and receives high praise from Julianne.

That was before Carrie Ann started seeing wobbles no one else saw...

Carrie Ann needs glasses a lot on the show. Well, that and a cold shower... 

I wonder if Carrie Ann will be calmer this season now that she is engaged.  

Happy to see this thread on the Season 24 board.      However, I would understand if you want me to slow down on posting any James and Sharna videos.

In the meantime, Chris Hinchcliffe's (James' brother) new book Chasing Checkers is now available online and can be found in the usual places like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, iBooks, etc.  I'm normally not into sports fiction, but I may check out the free sneak peek chapter from the book.

I like that one DMD.  Here's a few others.



The Hinchburg Chronicles (James and Sharna Fan Thread)

The Mayor and the Artist In Residence (James and Sharna Fan Thread) -- someone on another board said the Hinchtown website once mentioned Sharna in that way.  A variation could be The Mayor and The Dancer.

I don't care what it's called as long as it stays around. 

Here is the most recent compilation of James and Sharna and uses a larger amount of behind the scenes clips.


James' and Sharna's similar personalities and energy equally drove their FB chats--something I've always enjoyed about them.


Here is some recent footage of James behind the wheel of a Mercedes-AMG C 63 DTM.

Here is a compilation of James and Sharna rehearsal packages (which I think was already posted earlier).  I thought I would highlight some of the moments I liked.




3:55 Cirque Du Soleil Quickstep - James and Sharna attend a performance of Paramour in New York.

5:25 MMY Tango - Sharna teases James about his reaction to his misstep in the previous week's Quickstep.  "You were very dramatic about it," she tells him with a laugh.  James then explains that in racing he has to have that perfectionist attitude.

8:05 Latin Night Rumba - Ricardo visits rehearsal thinking that his help is again needed.

11:30 Team Night w/Team Past - James' Aussie accent and a giddy Maureen enjoying the process.

18:18 Team Up Challenge Paso Doble - The Calvin and James bromance.

23:05 Trio Dance Jive - "Welcome to our threesome," says James before he catches himself.

24:25 Redemption Dance Foxtrot - Sharna complements James.  "You say that to all your partners," says James.  Sharna replies, "I do, yes, but I really mean it this time."  Plus Helio visits their rehearsal.  

26:10 Freestyle - James quietly whispers to the camera saying how much he has enjoyed watching Sharna choreograph their dances in her head as we see her sitting near him staring into space doing just that.  Of course Sharna hears him and she breaks down laughing.

27:45 Fusion Dance - Their memorable last rehearsal where James gives Sharna his racing suit.

When I see that 9 from Julianne it still makes me grit my teeth!


James is all excited about the new for 2018 Verizon Indy car.
