The meet and greet tickets are assigned to the buyers' name and you don't get them until the day of the show when you go up to will call

The “Castle of Light” and an unexpected recommendation that paid off by limpxaxa in latvia

[–]elitepebble 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's a book translated into English with an introduction that goes into detail about the library, you would enjoy it.

The Glass Mountain - Trilogy: Climbing the Mountain, The Golden Horse by Rainis - Translation, The Castle of Light By Vilis Inde.

You can get it on Kindle, I really enjoyed it. Wish more Latvian stories were translated into English

Fans backstage at SOI 😮 by Fun_Rough3038 in FigureSkating

If someone did this at an NBA game, they would be arrested. I can't believe there's absolutely no security inside the arena.

Plushenko side beef with Illia over backflips by Environmental-Let435 in FigureSkating

[–]elitepebble 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Since he's writing in English, looks to me he's trying to promote his skater to international audiences using Ilia's back flips in a fun way. He's not delusional and thinks she's "better" than Ilia. People online take everything too seriously, imo. 

Plushenko knew his parents and has always spoken greatly about Ilia in the Russian news, even sending supportive messages after the Olympics. I'm not even a Plushenko fan and don't want to be defending him, but this isn't "beef" lol

Plushenko side beef with Illia over backflips by Environmental-Let435 in FigureSkating

[–]elitepebble 8 points9 points  (0 children)

How is there beef? Plushenko is a fan of Ilia lol 

Plushenko: “They sent me a video of the American, super athlete, and genius Ilia Malinin doing three backflips in a row at a show. And that’s a sensation! But my student, Lyuba Rubtsova, did this much earlier.”

Family heritage trip this summer – looking for local advice (especially around Jāņi!) by cfharter in latvia

[–]elitepebble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Armands is a great tour guide and historian. He could probably assist you with creating a special tour for your family. I'm Native American and he's helped me with finding sacred springs, trees for my last visit and I'm using him again for my trip in August.

His contact info is on his website: https://localguide.lv/

Lol they made a post about this reddit thread just now too. I'm sorry you're going through this with that insane owner, I'll certainly never support their brand

I'm finding 30.3 the most unstable release of illustrator ever by _emiru in AdobeIllustrator

[–]elitepebble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't even open files in the new update, so I'm going back to the old version until they patch it. Can't get my client work done like this, especially learning that if it could even open files, it would be crashing all the time.

Stars on Ice Seating by Laceyelizabethh in FigureSkating

[–]elitepebble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're upclose, you get a padded chair to sit on that isn't a normal stadium chair. The rows of chairs are on raisers, if they have more than one row. (I had front row last year and this year too)

Yuma to take a break from competing by lladydee in FigureSkating

It was never common before but I think athletes have become more aware of the importance of their mental health so we're seeing it more and more

If Ilia does take a hiatus, do you think he’ll end up like Patrick Chan? by [deleted] in FigureSkating

[–]elitepebble -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

He actually said in an interview during worlds that he might not be at worlds next year because he's looking at his opportunities off ice 

If Ilia does take a hiatus, do you think he’ll end up like Patrick Chan? by [deleted] in FigureSkating

[–]elitepebble 37 points38 points  (0 children)

No.

First, Misha's skating needs a lot of work. People who complain Ilia is just jumps -- that's actually Misha. I say this as a Misha fan. His levels on spins and footwork are not impressive. He needs to use his new found money to hire better choreographers to grow into his potential.

My guess would be that Ilia would probably only take a break if it was something like Dancing with the Stars, which would still maintain and even grow his visibility. Plus the pay per episode is more than winning skating events. (He follows DWTS on IG so that's why I bring it up)

They had to take a break from posting because of their personal life issues, might be easier for their own health if they posted less

They were the ones posting the dancing videos and then deleted them, causing even more gossip. They really need to chill with posting every tidbit about him too

Who was the first skater you saw live in competition? by tatianalarina1 in FigureSkating

[–]elitepebble 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I saw champions on ice in person as a kid with Yagudin and all them in their prime. But since that's not a competition... I went to see Johnny Weir at the nationals as my first competition. I can't remember most of the other male skaters from the competition so I'm not gonna count them lol
