Good edge and body position, must be an ice dancer. Maybe bringing the free foot forward in a chasse?

No, that won't be chasse, this is beginning of a spiral. Unfortunately the photo was taken too early and the poor duch didn't have time enough to lift it completely up.

Nice edge, perhaps taking off for a salchow?

Looks like it could be backwards outside-edge cross rolls too...

He's on an outside edge . . . maybe he's reaching back to pick in for a 3Lutz.

I'm afraid this duck is making the same mistake I kept making yesterday on my camel spin entry: letting the shoulders lead and get ahead of him instead of staying right over the hips and skating foot!

Though it can be also beginner learning forward crossovers. I used to have such a weird habit of lifting one leg to drop it in front of the other, without realising that the leg could get in front of the other one easily if I leave it on the ice.

I just think you guys are SO funny. I needed a laugh today!

That duck reminds me of my nerves in my competition program. Legs aren't always quite under me, but i fight my darndest to stay up!

I showed the Big Guy this picture. He said,
"obviously, he's booted out!"

Well... The above duck is clearly into pair skating!

Here's the elegantly dressed female duck-skater doing an amazing spread eagle leading into an Ina Bauer...
