I know I’m in the very very very big minority, and I know spins are near technically perfect these days, but I much preferred the way good spinners spun in the 90s than the way almost every spinner spins now…yes even with the much less amount of revolutions and less difficulty. There was a sort of line, command, musicality that made it all seem more “TA DA!” Maybe the best period was when the baby ballerinas came on and spins were becoming much more emphasized and focused on in the developmental stages in training. I think spins under 6.0 were catching up in the post-figures era as the jump revolution of the 90s became more settled. Then IJS came along and rushed the development and…codified the same sort of spins every skater had to do to get level 3-4…with some growing pains, and loss of aesthetic.
