Favorite skating move that YOU do

What is your favorite skating move that you can do. What do you love the feeling of doing, or think you do especially well?

My favorite moves that I do are backward crossovers and spins. I know backward crossovers are pretty simple, but I love doing them! I feel so powerful. I know I look good, too, because some people watching have come up to me and said that I do them so fast and smoothly. Great! I like to do spins because they feel great, although I don't consistantly do them well.

My favorites are double lutzes and sit spins. My double lutzes are my most consistent double and I really like doing sit spins and trying to make them as fast as I can. :)

sit spins! for the oddest reason, my sit spin is my fastest and most centered spin (odd because my other spins are iiiick and slow). for fun, i like to do funky arm movements with my skate guards while doing sit spins. :D

I love doing jumps and spins(when they work). Moves-wise, I love chasses, fast crossovers, all 3 turns, and slalom moves. I also love dance and love dancing on the dance interval.

I like doing forward crossovers and forward spirals. I can do the spiral on both legs but 1 is weaker than the other and when I try it I sometimes fall over :( owww!

skatedustin:
the 2l is my most consistent jump too! I love it, it seems so easy.

Well, I like doing a lot of Michelle moves. Inside/outside smiral, charlotte, falling leaves, victory spins, stuff like that. I've tried the Sasha Spiral, but it's too hard to do. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/ohwell.gif ALT=":\">

A backwards gliding maneuver in which I start out in a hydroblade then stand up and pull my foot up over my head (I put this in my "Star Trek" solo)!

Re: re

What's the broken leg spin?

My best move, not including jumps, is probably the lay back too. ;)

My favorite moves/least favorite moves

Hello, this is a nice topic, and I hope we get a lot more posts from people who skate at all levels. The insight is so helpful, and as I am a student of the sport, I'd love to share thoughts.

My strengths are good positions, line and flow. Power and speed are adequate, and even really good at times, but this can always get better with consistent training. My weakness in competition is not wanting to make big mistakes, so I often will skate clean programs without the power, speed, abandon and feeling as I do in practice or exhibitions or in a show. I can be reserved and don't always show the power and the command of my elements that I have in practices. My spins are adequate, with constant tweeking and attention to speed, they are better. Clean footwork, done well, but not terribly fast-footed or intricate----definitely better turning counterclockwise. I have a fair sense of music with good posture and a classical style.

Favorite jumps: Lutz and split jump (working on split-flip!)
Favorite spin: Flying camel
Favorite glide: The left back outside spiral---layover position
Favorite steps: Double forward inside three turns, double back outside three turns
Favorite moves-in-the-field: Power outside three turns

Least favorite jump: Salcow
Least favorite spin: Back sit spin
Least favorite glide: Spread eagles and Ina Bauers---I lack flexibility in my pelvic turnout muscles---these are awkward things for me to try at all.
Least favorite steps: choctaws
Least favorite moves: Double forward outside three turns.

Favorite Pair move: Pair camel spins of 2 varieties
Least favorite pair move: Moves going couterclockwise, my partner's natural direction
Favorite Pair Glide: a left forward outside spiral on my part, she is in a back outside spread eagle (working this one---infancy stages right now)
Favorite Pair "moves": sbs power mohawks
Least favorite spin: sbs camels---doing them so close totally changes your view of it, and the timing is very different from singles, and her skate gets close to my head sometimes :)

Going well---throw waltz jump, 2 basic lifts, sbs jump combo, sbs flips, sbs sit spins
Needs work---all the lift footwork, the lutz lift, choctaws and double brackets, sbs camel spins

Thanks :) that was fun.

There's too many I like! One of them is the cannonball. Beilmans are fun too, as long as you stretch. If you don't, it can be V-E-R-Y painful. Catch foots are good too, not neccessarily in a spin. I like a whole bunch of footwork moves too.

Re: My favorite moves/least favorite moves

I have, at the moment, a very limited range of moves. I do like back crossovers, I think they are fun and I love the speed you pick up. Now that I can spin without falling and cracking my tailbone (that happened in May...ouch!), I actually like it. But I'm just working on a basic one foot spin, nothing too cool. :(

I love reading what everyone else can do, it's kinda inspiring for me.

Cheers,

Laura :)
