For a blast from the past, here's a similar thread from 2004 (http://www.skatingforums.com/showthread.php?t=14465&highlight=pics).

I have some pics of me posted on my flickr page:
Spin event from New Year's Invitational (http://www.flickr.com/photos/12584501@N03/2194446824/in/set-72157602424522850/)

Freestyle event from same (http://www.flickr.com/photos/12584501@N03/2194446816/in/set-72157602424522850/) (Ending pose. I normally am supposed to finish facing the audience, but I was running late in the program and ended facing the judges--same side photographer was on.)

I have 5 videos up on Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/bouldersk8r)

2 are recent off tests I've taken,
3 are from the past when I could jump.8O

Hee, I forgot how foggy it was at 2006 AN. (I wasn't there but watched it on the internet.) For your FS program, the fog was really neat--it fit the mood of the music. (Probably not so fun to skate in, though.) I also like the music from your FS program ;) Mine uses music from the same soundtrack.

Yes that rink was really foggy and the ice was just horrible, it was like skating on sand, my father, mother and step mother were there and they said between the fog and the seating they really couldn't see anything.

I like Batman and Memiors of a Geisha, good music and really nice to skate too.

Keep up the good work MilkaWendy!!

I haven't any recent videos, and the ones I did post were on the (sadly now demised) sk8erlink site. Must (a) get some new videos and (b) post them on Youtube. Trouble is, I mostly video Husband, and I wouldn't post videos of him without his permission, which he is not about to give....

Oh, all right then - but these are very poor quality, in every sense of the word; You Have Been Warned!

Both date from 2006, I think. First is my interpretive programme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bDOgm2LOeo) and the second is Husband and me doing a Canadian Cha-cha (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RB8w3sFzq4M). Both recorded by Coach1, but obviously not on the same day, and in neither case are we in costume.

I have uploaded a video from my exhibition skate to youtube. http://www.youtube.com/SkateDelaware

My routine changed a bit (so did my dress-to a red fringed one) when i did my final comp at Bowie, Md.

I haven't had time (really, I've been tooooo lazy) to upload my other videos. Maybe I'll do it when I'm laid up recuperating from surgery (if I get ahead on my homework).

Anyway, it should be amusing! Everyone loved the chair!!!! Almost as much fun as the bike I "rode" when I was Miss Gulch in Wizard of Oz on Ice!!! but that's another story....

ps-oh yeah, my daughter's opera aria is there as well.

I don't have any of me skating (not allowed to film at our rink), but I did do one the other day of off-ice spirals and splits and catch-foot spirals and stuff. I intend to take a new one before I put it on youtube however - preferably one when I'm not wearing night wear with holes in :lol:

Here are my skating video's:

http://www.youtube.com/figureskater1990

They are not particuarly recent because i have been off the ice since the 7th February with a broken coccyx.

Please leave me comments with any tips you may have.

TIA

How long have you been skating? Did you just start this year?

For your forward crosscuts be sure to have the arm that is closest to the middle of your circle behind you and the other in front of your heart. For example, if you were to be doing RFx, you'd want to have your left arm, shoulder and hand extended behind your body and the right arm, shoulder and hand in front of your heart as you cross your right foot over the left and then push under your right foot with you left foot and then push outward with your right foot. This way you'd get 3 times the speed with the same amount of work you were doing.

When I do my crosscuts as discribed above, It only takes me between 2 or 3 to get around a hockey circle quickly. If I want to go slowly, I just do one.

So to get speed and lean inward on the circle, the rule is: The arm that is closest to the middle of the circle goes behind and the arm that is on the outside of the circle goes in front. It doesn't matter if you're going forward or backwards.

As for your spins and jumps, work with your coach and he'll get them higher and stronger.

I have to resist the urge to coach after watching videos.

What I'm really fascinated by is the rinks that everyone skates at. There was one rink, I think it was Muskoka skater, that could have been my Tuesday night rink. The mall rinks are interesting too. My favourite is Jazzpants rink. One day I'll get there. Actual windows!

Maybe it's just where I skate. Everyone comments on everyone else's skating. Good, bad, and everything in between.

That's true. On the ice rink, I won't comment on anyone's skating unless they come up to me in a friendly way and ask me for advice. The potential for getting misunderstandings and creating insult is always there if you just go up to anybody and give them advice, even if you're truly an expert in the field.

Here is one of my figures for the recent Pacific Coast Adult Sectional Competition - RFO-LB3 - I am really happy with them because I actually did it - 2 months ago I could not do a BI3 to save my life without putting my foot down or coming to a complete stop.

I am still skidding the BI turn a bit (of course you can't see that on the video) and have trouble with controlling the edge after both front and back turns:

Here is one of my figures for the recent Pacific Coast Adult Sectional Competition

I am completely impressed! I struggle with BI 3's unless I can pop it, to keep it smooth and controlled on a figures circle is admirable.

(I also like your serpentine, nice control on the edge change)

7am. ugh. Good for you.

Resist the urge to look at your spin tracings! (a HUGE bad habit for me)

Critical thing: I'd have you work edgy lobes on a line for a while, front and back to get deeper edges, it would help entrances into spins, 3 turns and crosscuts. Um, in the US I think they are basic consecutive edges (http://www.usfigureskating.org/content/adultvideos/Moves%20Diagrams/PreBronze%202.pdf)

abbi_1990

03-13-2008, 03:19 PM

lol 7am is the only time i can get on patch (freestyle) ice

i think i will be returning to the ice after my injury tomorrow, and for 2 weeks i am not allowed to jump or spin incase i fall on my coccyx, so i will concentrate on 'edgy lobes' or 'curves' as we call them in the UK, crossovers, 3 turns, mohawks and footwork.

thanks for the advice :)

From practice today! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toY8OtkMqmw)
I tried 2lutzes and 2axels today and they're reeally cheated and horrible but i've only been skating for a bit over 2 years and they're my first attempts ever so im happy. Constructive criticism would be greattt.:mrgreen:

You've already done the hardest part: you tried it. The lutz looked a lot closer than the axel. I'd focus on that one. I think you need more height if you want to do a double axel. Do you do any off ice training?

Yeah im probably just gonna focus on the lutz for now. The 2axel attempt was really just for fun and to see how close i'd be if i tried it. I agree i definitely need more height. I tried to like use my arms and really jump up in the air but it didn't work ahha. And yep, I do off ice training

Good to be back home though. I like my own bed, thank you!!! :bow::bow:

Here's me...well...and 15 of my teammates :laugh:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=xCujsBbnu-g from last December, we placed 1st at that competition (first of our undefeated season), we're also on IceNetwork, adult division at nationals (2nd last team out) and if mids videos are up, we're the last team.

And my lifelong-synchro-gal-turned-singles-skater video is Bronze I at ANs on Icenetwork, I'm the 2nd on out. Not bad for the first time competing by myself in many, many years! (Man, that was a strange feeling.) I knew the basics from when I was a kid and did a few pre-prelim competitions, but had just learned a lutz (at least a properly executed one), layback and camel spin about 4 weeks prior to ANs.

Well, I am finally starting to edit and upload some videos of me skating. I've got a lot of work to do, LOL...I got 'em all the way back from December 07. I'll get on uploading some more. Until then, here's one of me practicing in April: http://s282.photobucket.com/albums/kk261/rmuskate08/?action=view&current=41708Practice.flv. Enjoy!

Hey, TD!!! I didn't know you have a double sal... can you still do them? :mrgreen: (I'm not gonna ask about having a double sal and not have an axel. I know of a gal who a while back had up to an inconsistent double loop, was working on a double flip and claims she STILL can't do a good axel. Of course, I haven't seen her skate in a while but I know she's still skating...)

Thanks, especially since a.) I hate spinning and b.) I've had to really bust my butt to get a decent flying camel...and that one in the video was one of my OK ones.

Your salchow looks GREAT! and I envy your back spirals...
For the sit spin, get your free leg close to your skating leg. I have to tell myself to "superglue" my knees together so that I close my hips.

Love the High School Musical music...HSM3 is being filmed right now down the road from my house. :D

i dont have a blog at the moment, i used to do one on bebo when i first started skate uk but i kinda got lazy and stopped. i am probably going to start again after i finish my exams at college. would it be okay if i watched the videos in your blog?

Gotta post this pic of my dd...The event photographer snapped her pic the very second she landed her 2sal/loop combo, and although it turned out a bit blurred, I think it is the best picture I have! The look on her face is priceless...I think she was shocked at discovering she was still vertical! ;)

Yes, she is a CW skater, and no, she isn't a leftie. We have quite a few of them at our rink, and none of them are lefties!

That is my FAVE dress, it gets lots of comments! It only has about *ahem* 10 or so gross of stones on it. :oops: I go a bit nuts with the stones!

05-23-2008, 03:01 AM

That's a true "Kodak moment" as my coach calls them. Her surprised look is adorable and she has nice form and the dress is gorgeous! Congratulations! (to her for landing the double-double in competition, to the photographer for catching the exact moment and you for recognizing what a great photo moment it is.)

Bill_S

05-23-2008, 12:46 PM

I have been exploring some of the video editing functions of Photoshop CS3 Extended. Looks to be very promising.

I tried saving it as a 256-color GIF, but the clip became 1 MB in size. There's probably some intermediate ground to be explored here. I'm pleased that I can essentially place a video in a message without going through YouTube.

some pretty laybacks and my double attempts which need way more height if they are ever going to be more than one and a half rotations..

Stormy

05-24-2008, 07:39 AM

I agree with the height, but on both the double loop and double sal, you need to jump first, then rotate. On the loop, you're just throwing yourself into it and trying to get the rotation....wait for a second to get into position before you jump. Jump up, THEN snap in to get the rotation....don't jump and snap at the same time. The sal too...you're not checking the 3 turn before you jump. Plus, you have the same problem I have...don't break forward, before or during the jump. It kills any rotation you have. You're getting there, though! :)

I am defintiely taking a page from your book and taping my skating now, it's definitely going to be helpful.

Jumps were a little sloppy, but it has some double sals and double loops. also a bad split-falling leaf, a camel spin, a couple back camels and a few other spins i think.

While I am no longer eligible to skate for my university's synchro team since graduating college, I still wanted to share this video of us competing at Eastern Sectionals this past January. We are the open collegiate Eastern silver medalists and we had a blast competing! God, how I miss synchro!
