The ALL NEW Youtube thread!!

The plaza in nearby Arcata, California is plagued by vandals on big holiday events like Halloween. Little skateycat heard about this and wanted to make a public service announcement asking the big kids to play nice on New Year's Eve.

Vivika1982, thank you so much for these links. Especially the Rahkamo/Kokko one. I've been looking for this gala for years. I taped it when Eurosport first aired it. Then when I moved from France back to Holland, I lost many items, including a tape of this gala. :-( Wasn't this the first Art on Ice? If I remember correct this was a new Idea from Oliver Hoener according to British Eurosport commentators. I could be remembering wrong though.

Talk about the finnstep in another thread prompted me to take a peek at how it's done. The first return from Youtube was this one by Cappellini/Lanotte.

Midori's NHK 92 SP (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVPlMwqh0pY&feature=related).

This is the first time I've seen a clean performance of this SP. WOW! If only she had been able to skate with this kind of freedom in Albertville.

Thanks so much for this! This was her best SP performance, I think.

Lady does throw cantilever in exhibition. About 2 mins. and 45 secs.into clip. Also a closeup at the end. I'd like to see one of these done in competition. A lot more interesting than those boring death spirals.

Whoops! My mistake. It wasn't a *throw* cantilever.
