I'm so tired of SL footwork

I just miss the spontaneity and artistry that is being lost with the new juding system.

Well stated point. Ah, yes thanks to the demise of figures, we are blessed with the overuse of stratight line footwork. Gone are the days of a Karen Magnussen or Barbara Ann Scott skater who knew how to incorporate footwork based on figures. Something is defintely lacking in the training of skaters when it comes to edges and footwork. I am also getting tired of female skaters holding their foot over their head as they spiral their way down to the home stretch. Let's get back to basics please!!!!
