FSU Watch Party Sunday #1: 1991 Worlds part 2 [12pm CDT/6pm CET]

Misskarne probably would called that quad underrotated

I was thinking maybe too. I guess it was less than a quarter under. But if Bowman had a perfect lutz and Kurt didn’t scrape his free toe on his flip in the short, it was perfect.

Those spins are are not good. Too high position in the sit spin, lack of rotations, lack of control, uncentered.....

And he's really stiff, does he ever bend his back? I mean, of course you're supposed to hold a strong back, but....

"GRIT HIS TEETH AND CLAMP DOWN"

You know Kevin Reynolds and Chartrand have that engraved in their matching promise rings.

 

[meggonzo]

WTF the beginning of Bowman cut off?

 

[alchemy void]

I wish men's LPs were 4 minutes back then.

Have to admit, from all the skating I've re-watched this weekend, mens is the discipline I'm enjoying the least.

 

[VGThuy]

Is anyone else getting an error message?

What, you don't like lots of posing?

 

[SmallFairy]

(((Bowman)))
Oh, you would so have been on our team!

 

[alchemy void]

Is anyone else getting an error message?

Hmmmm. Maybe close out of the browser and try again. Or a different browser?

 

[meggonzo]

I think I'm still recovering from being a Tonya and Chris uber.

 

[alchemy void]

Sorry, we're skipping the Kurt fluff.

 

[aliceanne]

Chris should have stuck to what he does best - playing to the crowd. He doesn’t have Toller’s stretch, lines, or ‘tude. He looks like a sloppier imitation.

Browning resembling Jerry Seinfeld....

 

[SmallFairy]

Do they really get credit for these sit spins???? They're almost standing up!

Yeah. I've never seen these Toller programs before and the charisma was mostly gone. Still a very nice program and skater, but I vastly preferred his previous programs.

 

[SmallFairy]

BF is watching with me. Kurt doing an airy 2A. BF quote: Everything is high. Jumps and spins. Only the hair is low.

 

[SmallFairy]

Kurt was ok, but I'm not all that sold. Blame the bad quality feed perhaps. Crazy high 3axels though.

 

[VGThuy]

It was working earlier for me, but it's just no longer working for me. Sigh.

 

[SmallFairy]

Petrenko wins best shirt!

Browning resembling Jerry Seinfeld....

Mullet ftw

 

[SmallFairy]

Petrenko His technique and charm! Those axels

Europe >>> North America

Petrenko, Brna, Fadeev....

 

[Aerobicidal]

Was this a really bad era for men's skating? All the programs are really plodding with seemingly random classical mashups and there is no connection between the music, costumes, and choreography. I know that still happens in skating but it's been every single program here.

I'm still glad to be watching and participating here.

 

[Skate Talker]

Trying to remember but iirc Petrenko only had 2 different long programs before he retired.

 

[meggonzo]

I'm enjoying the proper Lutz technique and huge double axels.

 

[VGThuy]

I figured it out, it was the ad block programs I have. That's weird because it was working perfectly fine with them before.

 

[skateboy]

Dang, I missed it. Clicked on the link and got an error notice.

Hope to join in next time!

You may prefer Paul Wylie or the Mitchell Johansson Method.
