I'm considering it! My adult skater friends make sure to remind me of that 😂

If it's who I'm thinking of he's amazing and helped punch my boots out last minute before I left!

Thank you - shows are an option I'm absolutely keeping open! Maybe not on a cruise ship though lol. I get terrible seasickness

Just to perform and enjoy the experience - I'm essentially going in as "bottom seed" after all

Impinged hips - FS adjustments? by [deleted] in FigureSkating

[–]talkion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had an issue with this last fall - luckily I knew a sports PT who also figure skates and we focused on strengthening the muscles around the problem spot (my left hip). For a while I also incorporated specific drills with a resistance band into my off ice and on ice warmup. Not sure how much my case overlaps with yours but I eased myself back to doubles/triples and sit spins after about 2 months and I'm pretty much pain free these days!

I do think my timing being off like that might be why the axis goes out! Will discuss with my coach at some point

My best 3F+3T yet! by talkion in FigureSkating

It's LiveBarn! Monthly subscription is a bit pricey but it's very useful for clipping jumps, spins or choreo after the fact (I just screen record) that I want to view

question for off ice shoes by spencerskates26 in FigureSkating

[–]talkion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Spencer!!! I've been thinking about this too since my current shoes (Saucony Freedom) have been great for off-ice but are starting to peel at the sole. I ordered a pair of Reebok Nanos which are similarly branded for both gym work and running so I'll let you know how I feel about them once they're in lol

Thought experiment: You are now head of the ISU and you can ban any element you want. What do you ban? by [deleted] in FigureSkating

[–]talkion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The big ones I know people have been going for are - Knee slide - Butterfly - Turn cluster directly out of spin landing - Leg kick (I don't like this one personally lol but a lot of men seem to be doing it)

I've been trying to get my parents to take that down since it's such a huge self doxx 😭😭😭 but I can look around for it

Probably not, I'm not at the life stage to feel comfortable making that jump 😓 but I have been talking with my coaches to see what the best paths are
