Does anyone have videos of Wakaba's new program(s) or is it not online yet?

And costume

There are a lot of Japan shipment forwarding services that can do it for you! I used one called Zenmarket recently.

nice! where is it held? what's your music? post your dress/costume

My hips are just super open; when I turn out my right hip it causes my balance to shift a lot...I don't think it has much to do with my entry as it happens no matter what entry I use or even if I do the spin as the second spin of a combination. I went back to doing a few upright spins without crossing where I don't have this problem AS much and I realize that I close my hips more as I pull the foot in, which I don't do in the scratch spin. So I want to try that but just cross the leg in the end....tomorrow 😁

I'd vote for yuzu

OMG! So relatable

yesterday my co-worker told another co-worker that I love yuzu and she was like "is that the guy from the Olympics? Everyone loves him, I mean who wouldn't love him" 🥰😍

Hi everyone! We're looking for new moderators and helpers for Planet Hanyu. We're open to a wide range of levels of involvement/commitment! If you're interested please contact us!

I obviously prefer new programs because every single new program is a gift (like srsly how amazing were otonal and origin, we were so spoiled ;;) and I'm greedy and want as many as I can get. But I do see why Yuzu would feel that Origin hasn't been skated to its potential. It was really good at Worlds but he was obviously still injured with lower stamina, and the footwork especially during the quick trill-y violin notes wasn't as fast as we had seen at the beginning of the season. I'm super stoked to see the new costume and the new version as I'm sure both will be amazing. P.S. Regarding privacy at TCC, I honestly don't think TCC nor Yuzu cares that much. The secrecy around the Olympics was obviously strategically important, but that was a special case. If TCC cared that much about leaks they would tell skaters not to record or post on social media, and the skaters would probably obey. But I don't think it's that serious.

Love this dress!!!

I would love to see her try out different coaches including going overseas...she has one of the best jump technique in all currently active ladies!

Now we know he is pop rocks

No, they have tiebreakers for this kind of thing! Either the TES or PCS gets used (I don't rememeber which...)

i don't know how to feel

On another note, congrats guys we made it to 5000 pages.......

:think: :think:

Yuzu LOVES to jump!!

scissor analogy is interesting, i can totally see that! will try it... nice, i want to try a layback but my upright spins are weak. my spinning foot is always turned out 90 degrees from my hips...idk why. i don't know how to fix it.

Hmm I bought: - ghana chocolates - random xylitol stuff - ANA flight to Japan for Worlds specifically bc of Yuzu LOL - john wilson blades - irene gloves - underarmour clothes...(they don't sponsor tho ) - not to mention clear files and CiONTU stuff that's more than i expected

Ooh that sounds worse actually, if it's a public session mine is a freestyle, so they limit the number of people who can be on it. And you need to own a pair of skates before you can go, too, so there aren't very many true beginners (except for the grandmas who have actually been skating for decades, they're just really slow and cautious!) But the downside is of course there's no order to any of the skating and you need to pay a lot of attention to other people's patterns and stuff like that. I always feel like I'm in people's way. I'm also terrified of crashing too so I break a lot and/or skate slow lol. Haha you'd be surprised; I was on another skating site earlier reading pre-Sochi threads and the blade-picking issue was being discussed. I think it was Plushenko's full-blade lutz. You might be surprised how some people have selective memory on whether or not full blade toe jumps exist depending on whether they like the skater being discussed! But yeah, I have that problem too. If I don't bend my knees or pick harder and/or don't point my toes my blade often collapses on my flip. I've been trying to get rid of whatever's causing that but I haven't really figured out how to prevent it consistently. It doesn't happen as much as it used to, though. ahh be careful! sometimes the overtraining injuries take longer to heal than injuries from a freak accident.

So I've been trying to reduce the prerotation on my flip for a while. Since I don't film often (too many skaters and also I don't like filming LOL) I infer what the prerotation is by looking at my pick marking on the ice. If it's like a little triangle, then that means there was PR (around 180 degrees). If the pick marking is just a straight pick marking with no extras (usually in this case I can even see the grooves of the picks) then there's less PR, around 90. Anyway, I noticed that if I pick a bit higher, then there's less prerotation. But I don't wanna pick higher I think I should bend my knees more to get that same force into the ice on my pick without having to mule kick. not sure if I pick *that high* but I think you're supposed to pick like 2 inches off the ice or something? Like if you watch Yuzu's flips or lutzes he picks so low and gently it's so satisfying.
