laybacks: Priscilla Hill

I mentioned a combo early 80s US skater, Priscilla Hill, did in a previous thread. It was a layback-scratch-layback combo w/ a legitimate pulled in scratch spin inserted b/w two laybacks. Here's the youtube link. This is a pro competition. The whole program is lovely. She does the combo ~2:00 or so. She actually missed her hook on the 1st attempted and redid it.

There's otehr good stuff in the program including a double stag at ~1:15, a series of split jumps and a catch spin toward the end. Her ending is dramatic too.

Priscilla Hill is Johnny Weir's current coach. I met her at a PSA workshop, but the focus was on jumps. Nice spins - I liked the announcer's comment about the back scratch being "unusual."


Badaxel - Judge #2 is Fritz Dietl. It's not a good shot, but that's exactly how I remember him from when I skated at his rink in NJ.
