    Oooh great timing! I started working on twizzles today, only singles though, and only forward insides. But they're really fun and spinny :3 my left forward insides are often short on rotation by maybe 90 degrees, weirdly enough. My right forward insides feel good. I also tried backward outside ones too, but they're much worse than my forward insides. "Spinning"/twizzling on your heel feels weird bc you're so used to spinning on the ball of your feet haha.

    I filmed this video of outside 3turns exercise down the line. in general i find the moves in the field exercises are much harder than they look i think i've been doing these for like 6 months now (but it's helped me check my 3turns A LOT!) -- inside 3turns are harder but doing them on a line like this is actually easier for me because of the unwinding part I should film more moves stuff to motivate myself to do them. also instagram video compression

    No one here means any harm when posting lightheartedly about Yuzu or any other skater. We all love Yuzu the same regardless. If you see something you think is inappropriate or against the rules please report it instead and we'll take a look at it. But poking fun at Yuzu in this kind of endearing way is totally okay

    Oh, then that is strange. Maybe they will change the layout later in the season as she gets used to it.

    Not sure but the group (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/rec.sport.skating.ice.figure) goes back quite a lot and you can keep scrolling xD Warning though: some of the stuff may be inappropriate/NSFW/spammy. I'm not sure because i haven't checked it out.

    [smalltext]I hope Yuzu skates well this season at least once this season because i don't want to hear commentators hype up so-and-so other "record" holders all day without mentioning that it's because everything got restarted[/smalltext]

    Oh, I totally agree with you, and I think after the Twitter incident Hanretty toned down the bias (or so I heard?) In that case it was definitely a positive change. Incompetence doesn't get me mad as much as deliberately misleading for your own personal gain (ie. Chris one of the other commentators is one of Shoma's part time coaches??) because that's just poor, poor journalism and ethics.

    Brian did say that Yuzu needed more control of his skating. He said that Yuzu came to him, full of talent and energy, but then he would just randomly fall on like, crossovers, because he had too much energy/not enough control. So they worked on his skating skills. Unfortunately, commentators are hired for entertainment value. Otherwise why would we have Tara and Johnny? We can demand better and have higher standards, like @Yatagarasu...but TBH I hate a lot of the media too but I can understand if there are more important battles especially regarding commentators calling a jump UR when it's not...especially if you watch other sport you realize it can be much worse haha (also NA media coverage leading up to the Olympics )

    GPF '15 didn't look UR at all. Olympics SP, though, looked like it was at the 90 degree mark. But, also not UR

    I love it, it's a big improvement for her. I think both 2A and 3F are in the bonus, or will be. I'm not sure what the music is but it sounds like some sort of video game.

    Lol I found this on the internets https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/rec.sport.skating.ice.figure/uj6ZTWKi9XM Guess some things don't change...

    Yes I know I went to a doctor and they said to ice it and it will go away if i ice it every day for a month. But so far I ice it for a day or two and then forget. But it's also why I wear gel knee pads (the flexible kind, not the roller skating/skateboarding kind) and gel elbow pads every day now. And I also started wearing wrist padded gloves just in case.
  13. yuzuangel
    ouch! at least it was only weeks? my knee still hurts when, say, i crawl on my knees, and it's been like 4 months. my elbows still hurt if i put them down at the right angle and it's been like 1.5 years. my doctor says i need to ice them. OUCH!!
  14. yuzuangel
    This one is really not bad

    It sounds like Kana decided she wanted to retire? I guess we'll see but...sad. Now they have no one (until Chris finds another partner, I guess, but it took them a while to get to where they are and now...maybe they'll need to start from scratch.)
  17. yuzuangel
    Yeah, if you fall on joints it's the worst! With jumps you tend to fall on your butt so it's not that bad.And I know people say that about going fast and falling, but my crossovers falls are the worst.
  18. yuzuangel
    I guess there's not a thread for these yet but...what????!
  19. yuzuangel
    This is my favorite song in POTO! It would be seriously AMAZING to skate to.

    I don't think so, because the Lutz was likely underrotated. But she will probably attempt and complete some quads, especially the Sal and Toe...like she did last year.
  23. yuzuangel
    Those small injuries must build up though...esp since they don't seem to wear knee/elbow pads. maybe just do a lot of icing...
  24. yuzuangel
    I truly wonder how skaters can fall so often while going so fast and not get hurt most of the time. Falling on a jump is alright because you're kinda expecting it (and at least at my level you aren't skating very fast) but falling on steps/crossovers when you're going a bit faster? Lol I still feel some pain if you put pressure in the wrong place from like last year when I fell on my elbows I was told to ice it but I'm lazy.
