Of course Mathman prefers falling leaf. It was one Michelle's trademark moves
I prefer falling leaf too but I could watch Sasha doing a Russian split all day long. It's all good.
I've always wondered which one is harder. In ballet, there is no question: the Russian is harder. Way harder. But I don't know how much the momentum you get in skating makes a difference.
To me there are no spins like the layback and the scratch spin. Oh, and the camel. I guess I'm a classic sort of girl. But it all depends on how good a skater does it of course. Sasha is the only person who does the I-Spin to my liking. It's breathtaking. I don't love the Y-spin but I do love it when Alissa does it.
With the camels, I really love it best when the skater achieves a good back position - not a sideways one. When a male skater had a good camel it's magical - their lines go on foreeeeever.
