2015 Nebelhorn Trophy General Chat

[Violet Bliss]

I'm not into the heavy dramatic music. They don't seem to be either.

eta - Well. That ending! But the executions were great.

 

[paircheck]

Drama trankov is done .-)

 

[Princessroja]

V/T...

 

[machin]

The three lifts at the ends makes the program ugly. Music is beautiful, sadly, they almost never interpret it.

[moriel]

well, just the beginning of the season still =)

and it was way better than their SP, so clap clap

 

[lauravvv]

I think that what I said about Scimeca/Knierim winning the FS was good for V/T .

 

[tulosai]

OMFG I LOOOOVED IT!!!

I am not even being sarcastic, this was the role Trankov was born to play. I look back at his Godfather program and my confusion and despair at the faces he was making, and I understand now that he was practicing and building toward this moment. I honestly do not mean this as insulting at all, this is a masterpiece. I was skeptical at the test skates but I see the potential in this now. It is a great vehicle for them.

This was amazing to me. Just wow. I finally have seen a great Dracula program.

 

[Pika]

Catching on Nebelhorn to see V/T. I'm disappointed their programs are choreographically empty...

 

[paircheck]

agree

 

[MaxSwagg]

God, I can breath now. Perfect twist, lift positions, death spiral, loop throw...the best.

 

[Snow63]

Solid skate for September. And I actually like their FP much more than SP. Congrats

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



After that performance, they should win by a country mile, if not 2 or 3!!!!

As you have probably picked up over the years, I love dramatic music. But, I wasn't fussed on this piece.

But the skating more than made up for it.

If this is anything to go by, they are going to be unbeatable this season!

Fingers crossed that Mari and Ruben can cement their second position.

ALL THE BEST MARI AND RUBEN

I liked it a lot. And the elements are high quality.

 

[Snow63]

Max seemed kinda reserved during the lifts and twist. So much room for improvement

 

[Violet Bliss]

Does she have an injured right thigh?

Bit shaky today, she fell on both jumps. Don't think they'll medal

[tulosai]

V/B are still very good for a new team for me, though I don't think they'll medal either. Wonderful final lift, I really enjoyed that!

 

[MaxSwagg]

She's gone from "Volyzhar" to "Volazhar." Lol
