Did I not read this somewhere? It's a wonderful idea, and having Patrick be a part of it makes for a good show. All the top boys should enter this comp.
Are you sure you are saying 4F?
Agree!! A competition of the Technical aspects of skating instead of that dumb short program would give the sportsfan a more concise look at the elements. Judging artistry can remain in the long program.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIysoxy5I4g
Good to see him not just gliding down the rink even when it's strictly a jump competition.
It was just a club competition and Bradley didn't compete after all. Chan did 2 beautiful 3As, a 3F/1/2L/3F, a fall on a 4T and the 4T in the video. Max Aaron did a 4S. I hope someone will upload a video of that soon.
Some people probably wish to replace the Men's event with the Jump competition, specifically a quad jump competition. Who needs all the other sissy skating and lame elements and girls' jumps? Sheesh.
eta. Ooops. It's a 3F combo. Thank you for pointing it out, syoutenga. I posted in a hurry while in the middle of indulging in some Sandhu's videos.
Maybe it was a typo, but Patrick has been saying he's going to try to add 4S and either 4LZ or 4F this season for quite some time now, so I'd assume it's accurate. The flip is easily his best jump, I don't have any trouble believing he could pull off a quad in practice at the very least, and as for the 1/2LO-3F part, he was doing a 3F out of absolutely nothing in his LP all last season. 4F-1/2LO-3F actually makes a lot of sense for him to try as a combination, based on what his jump layout was this past season, and how the Zayak rule works. Gachinski's been doing 4F in practice, and Adam Rippon's doing 4LZ. If last season was the rebirth of the quad, this season looks like it will be the rise of the multi-quad/quads-harder-than-4S.
In days of olds when knights were bold.
especially if you do a 3axel before itGreat sentence! :thumbsup:
Doing a half-loop into a 3Flip is way harder than half-loop into 3Sal,
That depends on the individual. Some skaters have troubles with edge jumps. The purpose of changing a salchow into a flip is by using a toe-off. It keeps the salchow from prerotating. I'm not so sure judges actually see a strong back inside edge for both the salchow and the flip. I'm sure many skaters take off on the flat of the blade for the flip. If you remember the first time you put on skates, the flat or no edge was the safest way to go. Do you think the Tech Panel sees flat skating elements?Great sentence! :thumbsup:

I love this combo, much more than any quad combos or anything, this is very cool to see.
Seniorita, didn't Evgeni do some amazing combo in his 2001 skate when he won Worlds??? ...or am I dreaming???
who, Dick Button?BTW, years ago they used to have a competition called Top Jump. It was amazing. Guess who won it.
