Aha, now *this* is Rodney's skating style.

Tinkering with Out Of Bounds. The next part is giving me some trouble (experiment doesn't seem to be working). In the process however, I have a You Tube clip that's pretty close to Rodney's showy-playful skating style.

Christopher Bowman 1991 Gala.

Oh I love that, and I can just see a young twenty somthing Rodney skating like that.

*clicks*

*watches*

*laughs*

Oh dear me.

The difference between a dancer, an atheletic skater and a performer. The clip being of the latter. I can see why that first Bowman you gave us (er, when he fails the jump) is Rodney-esque now. Just more with the accuracy and the better skating.

That was funny. You may be converting me. This is weird. Must use butch icon.

I can't decide if I should send you clips of butch skaters or the ever-so-frilly Johnny Weir.

Oh, who can resist? Here's the skater who managed to convert the no-we-don't-dance Japanese to figure skating (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTI7gU8FnuA) in the Nagano Olympics.

Then there's Plushenko's Sex Bomb (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xxl_X1PbFng), of course.

Wow.

[camp] Now that's just silly. [/camp]

Do you want some caaaandy?

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Candeloro's cool.

Then there's the artistic Ilia Kulik (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-rWLgahSnw) who always does something interesting. (I have a much better version of this particular program at home.)

Then there's the firey, high energy Alexei Yaguden (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AgcGWduIw0).

I've always thought Joubert's James Bond program (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVaBWgOYlwE) is boyish and fun.

Oh, that's it. You have to see the Cowboys on Ice program. Let me go find it.

Back. Here it is (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkp9OXAVD88). Bear in mind this came out before Brokeback Mountain. I bet some of those guys are cringing now.

P.S. Sex Bomb is Plushenko mocking his long time rival, Alexei Yaguden. Yaguden is sex on ice in person, so the mockery is dead on.

*grins* I have another one if you're interested.

[monniesgirl-65.livejournal.com]

Oh yes please.

Thank You

For you I have uploaded *my* version of Ilia Kulik's "Rock-It." This you must see (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eM7UnkHzhh8).
