FSWer, that DVD is showing skaters doing compulsory figures, also called "Figure Eights." Just wanted you to know that in case you thought it would show skaters doing freestyle or pairs, etc.

The creator, Karen Courtland Kelly, has a short preview on YouTube:

The descriptions I've read only mention school figures, nothing about freestyle. I'd say "Nope, no freestyle."


I figured you'd prefer freestyle, that's why I remarked on the figures content.

Yeah- that figure was pretty amazing to watch. I don't think I could handle this video though, the narration style was driving me crazy just watching the preview.

It was like listening to a golf commentator or a documentary narrator.

What's interesting is that the creator narrated the perky intro as well.
Like night and day.

My issue was "notice the posture", "notice the blades", etc.

What about it am I suppose to notice?
