  1. 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.
  2. Argh, that sucks. We have an indoor rink around here but it's sooo crowded in the summer. There are upwards of 30 skaters including fast kids and skaters doing triples and coaches using harnesses and slow grandmas all skating at once in different directions. And not to mention the ice condition is horrible, so soft with lots of big dents and holes and track marks despite being resurfaced every hour or so. It's so crowded that you need to sign up for sessions in advance, sometimes weeks in advance. But it exists...
  3. Ooh I remember drunken sailor! I think someone showed that too me once but I never remembered it (I'm really bad at remembering steps or choreo) but it looked cool. I do remember it was quite complicated/difficult! Nice, congrats on the 3turn! Sucks about the ankle though did you fall on it?
  4. That ballet jump is beautiful but I still really like Yuzu's.

    heyy, i have a request. does anyone have a clear photo of the attitude jump/two footed axel that Yuzu does? Doesn't have to be high quality, just wanted a reference for a drawing. Could be forward or back view. I think I saw a newspaper clipping that had a photo of it printed on the whole page? paging @kaeryth resident hanyu encyclopedia...~
  6. I tweeted it! @sallycinnamon can you update the post with the rabbit link when it becomes available? Would be nice for the people who find the event through twitter to be able to see the link from the calendar event
  7. That 4S from Rika looks great! It almost has as much airtime as Yuzu's

  9. wtf. ISU's bias inadvertently(?) showing. they already know who's reasonably gonna place where
  10. Haha tbh I just never thought of them in terms of definitions xD I guess that turn from back outside to forward outside was just a "turn forward" but you're right, it's actually officially a back mohawk.
  11. Whoa, what a good idea......I want to do this too! Maybe we can have a repository of high FPS videos of skaters' jumps 😛
  12. Yay! Congrats!! Once you build up the most important muscles for skating you will get more comfortable with all that
  13. If he continues to skate the season after the upcoming one, the probability of Beijing would go up A LOT. But as we can all tell, he is still soooo hungry that I can't see him being "done"!!! No one could have predicted him to stay this long after Sochi or even PC lol, Yuzu is one heck of a phenomenon.
