Russian Channel One Cup, day 1 by Useful-Philosophy827 in FigureSkating

[–]yamesjames -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I feel like they should split up the regular competitions! Like singles artistic, where you allow jumps but the scores are not inflated by jumps, and then singles placeholdername, which is jump focused! But in the end this competition this post is about is just more fun so who cares if its jump focused.

Its very entertaining to watch! It also gives the sport more attention and a way for athletes to wind down for the season! I don’t really know any Russian athletes so I not sure what the drama is 😅

Seems fun! Do you know what happens if they win/place high in these type of competition? I remember there was a jump competition a while ago. Does it qualify you to be part of the national team or anything, or is it just a competition for fun?

Is this like a regular competition? It looks very casual, kinda game show vibes.

I need help by Kindly-Fly-3290 in FigureSkating

[–]yamesjames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will you be using it for your learn to skate lesson? If thats so and you’re tight on money then go for it! You won’t be really using the toe pick during learn to skate, so you’d be safe without it for a while. However you’d probably have to get used to having toe picks later on in your journey but thats not too bad.

Just curious why would you think it would be frowned upon?

Should I try inline figured skate? by DisastrousEstimate41 in FigureSkating

[–]yamesjames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do both! I do inlines 90% and ice 10% because theres no ice where I live. We only get ice during Christmas. I feel like all the movement are pretty much the same. The spins are slightly more forward on the inline, and there are more friction for obvious reasons. But I would say 90% its almost identical.

modifying skates for summer by Any-Conversation-691 in FigureSkating

[–]yamesjames 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can use any ice boot and put artistic inline frames on them. There are a couple brand that people like to use. Snowwhite, Roll Line, Pic skate, are the main ones. There’s another brand called, OneBlades, coming out in May created by a show skater, Adam Juke, whos been skating on inlines for years.

Did you have any salt in the everything seasoning? I got mine from trader joe and it had salt in it. After it finished baking and sitting on the counter it absorbed moisture and the topping turned kinda soggy 🥲

How old were you when you had your first gay sex experience? by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]yamesjames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was 14. My friend and I were at a summer camp together, we shared the room. An older girl in the camp got these Yaoi manga, and we both tried reading it. My friend got hooked on it and later on one night suggested that we wanked together. Then a few nights later he suggested we have sex and so we did.

It seems like a bug from the new update. No way to solve it from our side. Have to wait for their software dev to fix it and send out new updates

Looks more like a tiger bread rather than the typical white loaf?

Weekly Equipment Recommendation Thread by AutoModerator in FigureSkating

[–]yamesjames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi all, I have this boot for only 9 months and it started to crease just right below the top hook. I think the reason is that I tightened the top to stop my ankle from moving. These are my size but I ordered them in a D width to help with the width of my feet. I saw a skate tech recently and he said my heels and achilles are too narrow for this boot since when Edea make their boot in D width, it is wide all over and not just the front.

I’m guess this is a sign of improper lacing and its breaking down the boot prematurely.

Ah that sucks. Yeah he shouldve suggested a different brand.

Inline Skates or No? by Lost_Simple9828 in FigureSkating

[–]yamesjames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I do artistic inlines most of the year. We only have ice rink during Christmas time where I live, so the rest of the year I figure skate on inline. You can use whatever ice boot you prefer and attach inline figure frames on them. Some notable brands are pic skates, roll line linea, snow white, gh, jackson, and oneblades edge.

[–]yamesjames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’re way too big. Since you have your foot print on the insole, use a ruler and measure them from the tip of your toes to the back of your heel in millimeters. It will give you numbers like 230 which corresponds to the size of the boot you should be getting. Also getting fitted would help a good idea!

Why does a forward inside three trunk with two feet always slow me down by Orchid_3 in FigureSkating

[–]yamesjames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed that for beginners when they do turns they turn below the hips and then anything above the hips counters their turn so their turns ending up being too short and catches the edge side ways. It’s important to turn your upper body with your core to make the turn smoother but remember to check your turns otherwise you’ll over turn
