What's your least- and most-favorite skating element?
To do myself, or to see performed?
My favorite to do myself, is the flip jump. It's my most reliable and even after all my injuries, weight gain, etc., I can still get it to "pop" nicely.
Least favorite, wow, 3 way tie between power pulls (knees don't like these), 8 step mohawk (broken wrist, 'nuff said), or anything involving back 3 turns. In other words, most of the Silver MITF test. Probably just as well that I'm starting over on moves I actually have a snowball's chance in you-know-where of passing someday.
Favorite to see performed, any kind of good, fast spin.
Least favorite to see performed, catch foot spirals. I will never forget Dick Button snarking "oh goody, another catchfoot" during one of the first IJS years.
