Aha! Now *this* is Rodney skating.

Hoo-rah, someone posted the performance that, well, it is Rodney skating (in Out Of Bounds, in case that isn't clear):

This. This is Rodney McKay, skating champion, right down to the slight chunkiness.

wildernessguru and I went out to dinner tonight (oops, we overslept and missed bowling) and I talked out John's summer training with him. Illuminating.

The Duchennays? They were ice dancers, and they were well known for doing really adventurous things on the ice. And at that time, in ice dance, it wasn't necessarily a good thing, to take those sorts of artistic risks. Well, that, and their technique was sometimes a bit less polished than the judges wanted. In effect, the crowds loved them, but the judges? Not quite as much.

Okay, I think I remember seeing them back in the 80s. I confess, I was a teenager back then. I thought they were weird.
