How do you all feel about skaters dipping into the same bag of tricks over and over again? Yes, the costumes and the music often change (and sometimes not even that), but the elements are usually the same and in the same order. Yes, some skaters are well known for their "signature moves" that they do in every program (e.g. the Hamill camel, Robin Cousins' slide, etc.), and the audience would feel cheated if they didn't do it, but when do things become *too* tired and overused? Should skaters be recognized for breaking out of their comfort zones and trying new things, or should they "stick with what works"?
