Davis & White - rotational lift (I think that is the correct term)

Shibutanis - twizzles

Mishkutenok & Dmietriev - pairs spin

 

[Harriet]

Davis & White - rotational lift (I think that is the correct term)

Oh, another one for Davis and White - Charlie White basically butterfly-leaping over Meryl Davis's back. That showed up memorably in several programs.

Michael Weiss....

not really "signature moves" in terms of being iconic, but these were quite unique nonetheless (at least to me)

In exhibitions he did some kind of twisty acrobatic move called "the tornado"

He started wearing different type of skates (maybe called "freedom skates"????) and I recall him doing sort of a spread-eagle move where he balanced on the heels of the skates.

Split rotational lift.

 

[lesnar001]

Split rotational lift.

Thank you - I love that move.

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

Thank you - I love that move.

Are we talking about this lift that I did a video for as part of a discussion here st GS?

Haha...NvMnd

I looked at my own description and see that it’s called a curve lift. Does that count as a signature move?

No. That's not the one I'm referring to.

She had a broken leg while she was still a junior and could never fully recover. She’s been traveling around as a coach as what looks to be on a part time basis.

Anybody also remember “The Mike Pike”?

 

[lesnar001]

Anybody also remember “The Mike Pike”?

Was that the move that the announcers said was like a "shoot the duck"?

If so - then I do remember it!

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

I think it’s annoying we don’t see shoot the duck in major competitions!

 

[lesnar001]

There are a lot of nice moves that we don't see anymore --- the point system has killed them off.

I wish more skaters would at least slip them into exhibitions - like when Yuzuru Hanyu did a delayed axel after the Olympics.

 

[lyverbird1]

Boyang - Spider Shimmy.

... which I could watch forever (and do for a startlingly long time every time, it's in his newest FOI one too I'd love to see others do the delayed single axel, it is beautiful.

Is there an example?

EDIT: Of this shoot-the-duck move, but also any others?
