Ha!

I almost had John skate to The Last of the Mohicans for his long program this year, but opted against it (though I still like it very, very much and wavered on occasion. It's a very John piece of music).

Just found out that French skater Brian Joubert is skating The Last of the Mohicans for his long program this season. If I'd gone with Mohicans I would have looked like a copycat (and no doubt Joubert's choreography is better).

Whew.

Will I upload his program for you? But of course. /French accent


ETA: Hmm. It's a completely different cut of the music. I'm not sure I like Joubert's version.

You're welcome, though I might have to upload Joubert's short program to make up for it. It's... not all that great.

He's better off than Lysacek this season. Poor Lysacek. Both his short and his long programs bite.

Is not? *is disappointed* I'll watch, anyway, as we have so little skating around that, even if is not his best performance, it could help to fill the need *sigh*

Have you seen Joubert's James Bond program? I can send you that if you haven't.

No, I haven't, and I'd love to see it!

Joubert's 2005 SP - Die Another Day (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ZXMMGJX4). It's totally rad.

Have you heard of www.icenetwork.com? I've had problems with them screwing the blackout areas, but they do provide the entire season of figure skating. It's thirty bucks for an entire year, the American regionals, sectionals, and the international Grand Prix -- right up to Nationals and Worlds. All you need is DSL.

No, I hadn't. I have it open in another tab right now, and will see if there's any way I could pay from here.
Thanks for the link! =D

You're welcome. I should do a post about them, with fair warning about their blackout areas and rotten Indian customer service.

If you ever have a problem with them, call them U.S. eastern standard time. Do not use their email or weekend customer service. The daytime people are Americans who actually, you know, solve things. The weekend and email people are in India, and they avoid work at all costs.

And tell me if icenetwork works for you.

Hehehe, once you told rotten Indian customer service I remembered your post.
Sadly, I can't buy the service, as I had no International credit card, but there is a chance my son's Visa be international.
I've call him tomorrow and ask. Shees! That will be fantastic. I'm always complaining about how little space local TV gives to figure skating, so, to be able to watch the whole season would be a real blast =D
*cross all her finger and even toes*

No, sadly they don't list PayPal :(

There's also www.fsvids.net. You can download skating vids from there. That's a fan community so there's no charge at all.

LOL! You're welcome and hooray! Fsvids offers more anyway, although they don't have the lower level Regional and Sectional competitions I need.

Well, I'm waiting to get access, but it is a lot more than I can hunt in YouTube, that's for sure =D
Thanks again. You've made my day =D

I'm only sorry that I didn't think of it sooner.

Hey, it is wonderful! And you couldn't know they had not PayPal at www.icenetwork.com, ot that I don't own and international card. And you really help me to be able to watch my favorite sport, so there's nothing to be sorry about =D
