For the love of skating

When a team skates like this, it makes the argument that synchronized skaters are not as skilled as freestyle skaters null and void.  Thank you, Team Paradise.  If this is the future of synchronized skating, they won’t be able to ignore us for much longer.  Hallelujah.

Yeah I can’t stop watching this. I keep repeating their circle step sequence over and over and over…I swear I’m about to go to the rink and learn it. I can’t get over how well it goes with the music. I love the twizzle with the leg crossed in front but what gets me is the head roll when they check out of the twizzle…it just looks like they’re all losing themselves in the music and really skating from the heart.

Rockettes LP - Worlds 2004

I would kill to skate this program, or any program with a dance break (go to 1:00) for that matter. It just looks like so much fun. Sigh.

(And wow…that triangle intersection is darn near perfect! And that line is beautiful…)
