Hi Joe, I thought that pairing after you've already got triples could (maybe) take the pressure off the jumps instead of adding to the fall danger. I mean, if you can already do triples on your own (with risk of falling), wouldn't it be easier (safer) to do them with assistance (except for beginners still learning jumps and throws anyway)? I should think the danger for a top-notch skater in doing pairs is not the falling on jumps/throws, but the possible fall from a lift. Now, THAT'S what I call danger to your hip, and head, and neck, and joints, and back, and..........
Any pairs skaters out there with info on this to share?
