Johnny's spin?

Does anyone have a photo of that extraordinary sit spin with his arms in 5th position?

Hope I'm describing that right. Not sure if it was a sit or cannonball.

Anyway, hi all LOL

I don't have a picture. Are you talking about about his version of the Lucinda Ruh spin? I don't know the correct name either, but the arms are arched behind his back. Is there a name for that move?

 

[anya_angie]

Never been interested enough to see Ruh, I'm probably missing out LOL.

Hope when the Campbell's pics come out we'll get to see it.

If you are ever interested, you can see videos of Lucinda Ruh here You should be prepared to pick your jaw up off the floor. She's a brilliant spinner.

I am pretty sure, Johnny did that spin In Dr Z. You can find that here.

I don't recall seeing it in the Worlds performance, was it at the Nationals performance?

 

[SusanBeth]

I just watched both. It was in his last combination at world's, not nationals. I'm sorry it's not at the link I gave. I just remembered him doing the spin last year.

I have the worlds performance on tape. You'd think I would have noticed it if he did it there...

*digs out tape and looks*

Haha that's it!!!!! Thanks!!!!!

anyone have any pictures of that spin?

Johnny Weir is one of the best spinners of all time, in my opinion. His positions are outstanding, and his spins are performed with a lot of speed and precision. And talk about imaginative positions!

Go, Johnny, go!

I agree he is a very good spinner. He can't touch Ruh for spinning, but then no one can.
