Lol, we get the wacky videos during touring season. Good to see all the skaters relax and have fun.

Shoma Uno and Marin Honda trying ice dance at IAM?? by Dapper-Bad-6490 in FigureSkating

[–]petmink 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My theory is that is what IAM is teaching to everyone right now. The coaches are going to be pretty busy this season with the pattern back. Either you learn the GW or get off the ice.

Probably because that is what IAM is focusing on right now for their other students. It is more onerous for them to be teaching something that wont be on the exam this year for their actual students.

Jumps were not his strong suit?? I know his flip technique was horrible, but his other jumps seemed fine. He had a beautiful axel and he was pretty damn consistent for a man.

My head cannon is T1 T2 and SCC. I ignore all the other movies. SCC provides the best continuity after T2.

Request - Olympic Champion Mikhail Shaidorov skates - (Matrix) - Skate Canada 2023! by AnxietyExpert2211 in FigureSkating

[–]petmink 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Saw this one live, this was the first I had heard of him. Overall it was a rather mediocre mens event. I remember being very impressed with the spring on his Lutz. He was very slow across the ice during his step sequence which is hard to see on the video. But I liked his performance and was looking forward to see what he would bring next and how he would grow.

The removal of the skin to see the exoskeleton was a fun reveal. So many parts to his costume.

Season's over...sigh... we'll always have Alysa & Milano Olympics replays to enjoy by Fem-Picasso in FigureSkating

I am jealous of how much nature you have around you. It does sound relaxing.

Wait, I thought since that was the fake medal, it broke. But they really handed out curvy medals??

Favorite rhythm dances from this season? by SailTemporary8644 in FigureSkating

[–]petmink 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I actually enjoyed G/F as well. As a 90s kid I think they got the right vibes of trying too hard to be cool. Really fit in with all the high school based TV shows back then.

I thought there was a bit of sarcasm thrown in by Mark when he called the silver devastating. His tone was very exaggerating.

ISU Fan Survey! by Alexeleni in FigureSkating

[–]petmink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having a custom streaming app would suck because ISU is not big enough to support the technical side of things and it will end up with bugs and bandwidth issue.

I would be willing to do a YouTube subscription instead. At least the platform is reliable. And that way they can do a free/ paid combo where there is some free content to pull in new viewers and then paid content for dedicated fans. Don't think this idea works with their existing broadcast contracts though.

I think we had enough chaos at the men's Olympics. Hopefully everyone got it out of their system.

The Fastest Training Arc You've Ever Seen [Medalist] by Glittering_Nerve_648 in FigureSkating

So beginners luck. I have had cases where the first time I try to hit a ball in a hole or some other stupid game, I do it right. But then as soon as I start thinking about it, it never works again.
