    Haha I can't imagine him roller skating for some reason... 😂 I'm also using pic frames, the ones with 4 wheels. The wheels are solid rubber and SO heavy compared to skates. I find that things are just *harder* on roller skates which I guess is good for training? You can get away with so much on the ice because it's so ~smooth~ (for example, you can prerotate a ton on your jumps, but you just can't do that on the pavement, wherever you plant your toe pick, there's nowhere to go but up). You can't get away with stuff like that on the ice which I guess helps you pinpoint and fix your weaknesses a bit. Also not being fully over your skate just causes your wheels to slip out from under you but on the ice you have edges which are actually quite powerful, I miss them so much haha

    That's exactly how I feel 😅 they're much heavier, and simple things like 3turns are so much more laborious bc of the added friction, and nope I absolutely can't spin on them (but I think that's because my "toe pick" isn't low enough on the skate). Oh and they wear down super fast and the toe picks need to be replaced often? But I think I'm starting to get the hang of it so I've just been practicing turns and the easier jumps...

    Ahh I was on mobile, didn't see that you're also in the US. Yeah I didn't mean to imply you shouldn't have gone haha, obviously it depends on where you're from in the US (I live somewhere where things are getting better but are still not great). I'm glad you got ice time though, you should definitely take advantage...rinks are also at risk of going out of business, which sucks. For me, I'm just roller skating instead nowadays

    If only JSF supports their skaters a fraction as much as RusFed supports theirs. Lol. Even for this stupid award. 😑

    Wow, this summarized a lot of what we had to say about the ISU in the last 6 months. Ofc I don't agree with it all (You Young was definitely a better contender for "newcomer" than one of the Russians, winning YOG and all) and I hardly noticed any geographical diversity in the shortlists at all. lmao the honesty; Gleikh's choreo wins medals but no beauty to be found

    Ahh a lot of rinks have reopened around me -- not the one I usually go to, but that might reopen soon. I might not go though, for a while, because cases are actually INCREASING in the US and we should probably keep socially distancing for a while. Glad you got some ice time though!

    We're streaming 2019 FaOI in Sendai rn https://planethanyu.com/tv/

    Nope, they are going out of business

    Oh yup, the award for the retirees

    If he doesn't win MVS, the last thing I'd want to see is a conciliatory best costume award...after ISU commentators took jabs at his costumes for years
  12. yuzuangel
    Why? If we're going by only results (competitions won) this year and records broken, skater of the year (and maybe also newcomer) is Alyona Kostornaia. It's not skater of last year. Lol
  13. yuzuangel
    yup, never buying an all event ticket with "gala" again.
  14. yuzuangel
    These awards are meaningless when won, but extremely offensive when not ... good job, ISU, good job
  15. yuzuangel
    until
  16. yuzuangel

  17. yuzuangel
    Ugh, who cares. I wish to not even find out the results.
  18. yuzuangel
    lol

    Can you guys check out this streaming page and tell me what you think of the chat and the page? I'm trying to build a place for us to stream & chat on PH in the future lol. https://planethanyu.com/tv/ I feel like the chat may be a little laggy. eta: i don't believe you can see the chat in mobile yet
  20. yuzuangel
    we could stream last 2-3 groups of ladies and 2-3 groups of men at pyeongchang, free skate
  21. yuzuangel
    Ok let's stream SOCHI SP or CiONTU? I'm down for either
  22. yuzuangel
    At the same exact time? Deal ETA: I wouldn't stop anyone from watching, but I actually feel sick Someone should stream it though, just so they can get 1 click instead of many from us (if anyone still wants to watch)
  23. yuzuangel
    I'm shaking loll, I don't think I want to watch this. . . . does anyone else want to stream instead?

    So we made the decision to remove the gallery. It hasn't really been used, which is understandable, because there are way better places to upload images and get better engagement. It costs us a little bit of money every year, and even though it isn't much, we decided it would be better to replace it with other things that are more useful. Thanks to everyone who uploaded images. Please download all your images because we can't guarantee that we'll be able to retrieve them afterwards. We'll be getting rid of the gallery in 1 month (July 25, 2020), so hopefully anyone who wants will have time to save their images. Thank you for understanding

    Let's stream the awards show together so we don't have to give the ISU extraneous clicks
