?? everyone at the rink keeps nagging me about this because when I first started I wanted to learn to jump more than anything else and so I was twisting myself into these horrible ugly standstill scratchy jumps

It’s the most wonderful time of the year (I’m gonna need Guillaume to follow Morgan’s lead here)

Damn, I’m hoping that that’s the issue. I think I misread an earlier post where someone said they had been in touch with him more recently. Hoping everything is ok

It was one of those bucket list things for me. I was obsessed with skating my entire life but I grew up in The Bronx and there just wasn’t the money or opportunity for it, and then I just assumed it would never happen. Last year for some reason I was just like...I’m 33 years old, what the ****...

??? I didn’t expect that response. I can’t figure out how to post something that isn’t already uploaded but I’ll compromise and show this one from when I was first learning to skate last year https://www.instagram.com/p/BeWUNz2AsVv/?igshid=1gi3n82m4s2nr :gallopin1

What’s wrong with me that I turned into an actual heart-eyed emoji when I saw that?

Because people lie and edit their lives so much on Instagram, I trimmed the end of this video to hide my :gallopin1:gallopin1:gallopin1:gallopin1:gallopin1-ness: immediately after putting my arms up at the end, I fell backwards and landed flat on my ass...

I know jumps in a harness don’t really mean that much, but... ???

If Trusova and Shcherbakova hit their jumps, they’ll be able to win without the pcs. I’m most interested to see what the judges do with Kostornaia, because if her skating develops in the trajectory that it has so far I really think she’ll deserve top tier pcs — but really they’re all bunched up...

I work on Fire Island and I think I can make this look happen this summer

To be fair I think skating before Satoko would make MOST people look bad ? I get what you’re saying about softening the movements and there’s the usual “send her to Lori!” possibility if she wanted to work on that, but I wonder if that’s something that she’s never really going to be a natural...

:rofl: what can I say, I have horrible taste in men. I can forgive a LOT when I like someone's skating

I loved seeing him with Mie Hamada -- Vincent seems like he would be a really good, almost obsessive kind of student, sort of like what we've heard about Satoko, and I feel like Hamada works well with that kind of skater. Even their body language in their interactions seemed relaxed and nice. I...

:rofl: But bizarrely I always found that look on Jeremy sort of endearing. I wanted to hug him and tell him it was all going to be ok. (And then, of course, it was almost NEVER ok)

I was saying the same thing ? Samarin is cute but I am relieved that I am never going to have to sit through this greatest showman program ever again.
