Tonichelle said:I guess I'm one of the few who just doesn't get what the talk is all about... though I missed his practices... I still found nothing in his skating that stood out... *shrugs*
I just found him to be a cheap knock off of Johnny Weir's skating and Ben Agosto's look
When was the last time you saw Johnny do a lay-back spin or the splits & back up? I'm begenning to think you are a bit homophobic.Tonichelle said:I guess I'm one of the few who just doesn't get what the talk is all about... though I missed his practices...

Doggygirl, I understand what you're saying, those very same things are what excited me about Rohene's skating. I think that's what I like about Daisuke Takahashi's LP is he does a layback that adds so much to the program.Doggygirl said:Examples include the spiral sequence, the catch foot spiral position into one of his jumps (can't recall now if he did that in comp - he did it in practice several times), and the splits during footwork. Actually, I don't recall seeing women doing splits during footwork, but I've seen women in pairs and dance do splits in an ending position, etc. And yet he brings a very masculine look to these moves that I think of as traditionally women's moves.
And since I've gushed enough in multiple threads in my excitement over Rohene, I will just close by saying I think Ben stole Rohene's look, and I'm glad he did! I love the bad boy look on both of them. Dirty Old Lady to the END!!

STL_Blues_fan said:Hey DG,
I was going to PM you later, but since you mentioned it - here it goes:
I was reviewing my photos, and I noticed that I can see you to the left of Rohene's gorgeous Y-spiral. I am waiting for my brother to mail me the CD with all the photos (I used family's digital camera) - then I will email it to you so you would feel better!!!!!

You can also leave a message of support in Rohene's Guestbook.
Edited to add: Even after his FS meltdown on Saturday, Rohene was approached by many fans in the concourse where he willingly signed autographs and posed for photos.
