Figure skaters

[jp_draves]

anyone ever realise how a figure skater can spin like a 7 off of a foot of air? if somehow they went into skiing and were actually decent imagine what they would be able to spin off of a 50 foot jump. I dont know its just me speaking out of my ass but I think its quite the prospect.

it's a little different, since they have the picks on the front of their skates that help them transfer a lot of their lateral motion into vertial motion, and help them get their rotations dialed. but it is somewhat similar.

[jp_draves]

yo i am nasty at figure skating i went the other day with the acadamy and i could throw switch sevens and land on one foot and such and ive never done it before, i tihnk im going to quite siing and figure skate. its so ill

 

[John.]

HAHA are you serious? mad props if you are but it's just funny to think of a male figure skater being like "ya i am nasty at figure skating", "it's so ill" hahaha

I thought the same thing, 1080 out of 1 foot of air...I asked a girl at my school that wants to go to the olympics and all but she isnt allowed to ski cuz it could ruin her career if she got injured

 

[snarky]

yeah seriously, when you watch the guys skating, any time one of them spins a quad its a 1440 from flat, so nasty

 

[Holte]

I'm sure there's some arials guys that have thrown huge spins.

 

[N.L.]

they dont spin both ways.

 

[suzia]

i figure skate competitively and im pretty sure we can spin both ways. you just dont see that in competitions on tv

 

[saskskier]

if only they didn't wear sequined, one-piece, spandex suits i might have some more respect. i do have respect for their ability to spins though

 

[michaelclarke]

i used to figure skate. shit's ballllla. haha

 

[t_rob]

i knew there was some reason why i don't mind watching figureskating.

 

[Holden27]

freestyle figureskating, gonna start wearing hella baggy shit and throwing corked quad axles, just wait

 

[k2yeags]

i'm pretty sure they do actually

 

[Trashpuppet]

just wandering im new

 

[Albino]

lol.

and ps, yes they do have phenominal asses.

 

[Trashpuppet]

^ dude above me ur really shane ???

 

[KillerMonkey]

why would shane have line mothership graphics as an Icon, its just a quote

 

[nate-layton]

they have toe picks to catch them self on and sling into the air while we slide when we try 2 spin and have tips and tails

 

[jksl]

you're proof that figure skaters suck as skiers.

 

[Sholte]

yea the arials guys do like huge spins, but they have no style at all, so its no ill at all.

 

[NotoriousBIGfoot]

Realize that when you spin on skis, you have 3+ feet of ski hanging out on each side, you you cant spin nearly as fast. Have you ever seen a skier spin as fast as a figure skater, or have you ever seen a skier kick the nose of his ski into the lip to get extra spin? I certainly hope not.

 

[suzia]

i dont know if you know, but toe picks are even more dangerous. Any wrong edge. then bam toe pick and you're so fucked. trust me ive had some mad nicidences

 

[IT_SNOWED]

hockey is GAY

 

[Taydawg197]

haha wouldnt you LOVE to know...

...quote reply

 

[psychkub]

Also take into consideration that when a figure skater spins they bring in their arms to increase centrifrugal force. If they transferred their skills to skiing, the only way they'd be able to spin as fast as they do on the ice would be through penciled-out spins.

 

[whattheshit]

on the east coast you don't need skis just use those shoes with blades on them.
