To do personally for me: I hate Camel spins.:scowl:
I love sits, pearl and backscratch spins.:luv17:

i never liked illusion spins either.. but this season i found someone who can do it very well...

very impressive with her long limbs... puts Caro and Anna to shame

last season her spins were meh, but they have improved so much... also this one, so pleasant :luv17::

the only position that's not great is the Biellmann, i think she should just lose it from her programs.

One of the first things that caught my attention in that program few months ago was how surprisingly good that illusion spin is from Polina

Nobody loves Tuk and her pretty eyes and big jumps more than I do.....HOWEVER!!! I will never understand her flying forward sit spin from her 2015 SP. It happens at 1:39 in this video from Worlds in 2015. Her leg isn't straight and her foot is turned in/cycled :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bl-pPoV3sr8

You know who else was a great spinner.....Todd Eldredge!! Watch his final combo from his FP at Worlds in 2001. Todd is one of the few skaters who had edges that were deep like Patrick Chan's. He also looks Spectacular in a pair of shorts. His final combo begins at 5:00 into the clip.

Ban the A spin! :hpull: Ban it! Ban it!
I hate bad illusion spin as well. Unless you're Adelina, don't try Illusion spin.
Bad Y spin should also be banned. :curse: Yes I am looking at you, Rika Hongo!

I remember it, I was there in the arena and thought how great that position is (actually I found myself in the video:scard7: )

My favourite spins are layback, catch-foot layback, illusion spin, biellmann, Yuna camel, doughnut spin, sit spin with twist
My least favourites are Y and A spins.

Illusion spins, when well done (rarely), are really showstoppers and Adelina is their rightful queen. I was giving up hopes to see a good one but, as Largeman and Ares said before, we have found a rightful heir...check Polina T's SP this season! :agree:
Yuna camel are a thing of beauty, really hope that someone will bring them back! But in general I adore well done spins much more than jumps!

Anna P should stop doing illusion spins!!

The only reason I like the butt spin is because a while back I remember Doris calling it a Uranus spin and ever since then....I smile when I see them so I welcome them.

Elizabet and Anna Pogo are repeat offenders of this crime. And yes to Adelina, she had such wonderful extensions

Julia had a really nice illusion spin out of her StSeq in Megapolis.

I like the single illusion spins and it can be a nice transition but doing three at a time just gets me thinking of those drinking birds :curse:

Canadians.....Is it Alaine Chartrand who does that weird "Hydrant Spin?" It is really unattractive and for such a pretty girl, I'm surprised they leave it in. By the way. Adelina is the Illusion Queen. Spectacular!
