AMAZING moves people should know about

Almost anything by Gary Beacom: https://youtu.be/-iJLlBn8-pE.

I was actually looking for a specific spin by him which, if I recall correctly, started as a simple one foot spin (back inside edge). Then the circle of the spin got gradually smaller and smaller, eventually switching to forward outside edge and the circle again getting bigger in a nice even spiral pattern. He would glide out of the spin on the same forward edge. I”ve never seen such control of edge. Anyone else seen this? I saw it live at a show and can’t remember much else about the number he did, so would be difficult to find on youtube.

Amazing thread thank you!

I love when Jason does the Russian split followed by a high kick/glide thing (really technical skating term there) during the step sequence in his 'Can't go on without you' SP. It just looks so cool.

layout back spiral by Patricia Mansfield. I wish there were video of her holding the position longer.

I loved Gary Beacom's skating. Seeing that clip sent me searching for him skating with a girl with skates on their hands. It is probably a bit off topic but here is a clip of Gary skating with Gia Guddat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3K792sigTB4.

You mean this: https://youtu.be/cNC-IL2I88g?t=157. That's really cool! I also like how he does the split straight from a low glide. I just can't remember which program that was in.

ETA: Found it: https://youtu.be/CSEKVUV8bBI?t=84

I just found this amazing video of Nicole Hassler's spins: https://youtu.be/7EW_Ha3y1uU?t=449. The shot of her second scratch spin is incredible.

In the Naomi Nari Nam vid Dick Button asks who could do the splits better - that's very easy. Jason Brown. And I couldn't get the picture to post. It's his Russian split in Riverdance. His legs are litterally horizontal to the ice. And the height is amazing.

Best Russian Splits - Todd Eldredge, he normally did them around the end of his program (tired legs), frequently did turns into them.

My favorite quote on Jason’s splits was from Kurt himself:

“They’re Toller Cranston good”.:luv17:

It's at about 3:52. THIS is height!

You want high split jumps?

Or split lutz?

This may not be an amazing move but it is interesting to see Tamara Moskvina doing a Bielmann spin in 1965 (at age 23): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYcvrQFtc8c.

Sasha Cohen's Charlotte was breathtaking. This video is a compilation of many of her stunning spirals - and the Charlotte is included.

So many skaters these days are incredibly flexible, but no one does a spiral sequence like her, it's frustrating.

Who is that?! Are they someone we should know in the skating world?
