favourite moves

I would like to learn split jump and split falling leaf jump. I really like to see those in programs if they are done properly. (By properly I mean the legs to be horizontal with ice.)
I also like spirals when the free leg is vertical. (Sasha Cohen, Caroline Zhang, Mirai Nagasu).

I LOVE good footwork but am nowhere near anything resembling "footwork" myself.

My favorite move to do is a really fast, centered scratch spin. If I come out of the spin and realize I traveled 3/4 of the way down the rink, it isn't quite the same feeling.

My favorite move to watch- hmm- that layback spin that Caroline Zhang did in an exhibition where she held something like 50 revolutions was pretty amazing. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQhf7WSUsGE) I also like when elites just do HUGE single jumps- that's as impressive as a good triple. And sometimes I'd be willing to stop my group lessons just to watch the instructor do crossovers, they are that good.

My favorite move to do is more grace elements like ina bauers...even though my hips are closed so I do more or less my version of it. I also like doing my loop jump while holding my left leg with my left hand.

My favorite move watch is a flying sit spin. I haven't seen alot of the elite skaters do them and I get so disappointed because they really are impressive when done well.

Layback spins!

It's probably my best spin right now and I've gotten a lot of compliments on it in the past year.

I love to watch flying sit spins, too! I really want to learn how to do one some day.

My favorite to do....hmmm....I love doing fast, centered scratch spins. But I also love doing a huge, floating flip. So it's a tie between those two.

I LOVE watching a basic, GOOD spiral...and that is also my favorite thing to do...when I do a spiral, it's usually like the parting of the red sea...
