SIDNEY BROADBENT
The Incredible Edger! If there is a better sharpening machine out there, I am yet to come upon it. Here is my encomium to centenarian Sidney Broadbent for his contribution to "Skateology", the study of skating and equipment. Thank you Sid, condolences to the large community of family and friends nearest to you, and farewell!

Here are the positions and mechanisms you can practice to learn or to polish up your flip jump, regardless of the number of rotations. This video is for skaters of all levels from single to quintuple. Learn to learn without having to unlearn, relearn, or not learn at all because of pain and injury downtime from inferior technique.

    I didnt know Sid, or even of him until this video, virtual hugs for you and condolences to his family. For me skating isnt just time on ice, Im interested in the whole story, you tell that story well. I have been looking at machines for some time, i do not like being reliant on other peoples skills, Sid sounds like a real good guy and it is obvious you have respect for him. The realisation of mortality hits hard as friends and family leave us, it is more than obvous to me your hurting a bit today with your lovely tribute to someone you had a conection with. Take care Garry and know even though i dont know you , my thoughts are with you. RIP Sid.

    Well, I just came of the ice, thank you so much, I made so much progress today, concentrating on loooong edges on all eight edges made me work harder than a session with my old coach, no doubt after a few hrs mingling this exersise into my usual practice made a big difference.

    Do you have any tips on split jumps or split flips? I used to do gymnastics so i’ve always split with my right leg forward, and still to this day I can’t get used to leading with my left leg while moving backwards like that.

    • @GaryBeacom-FigureSkater
      @GaryBeacom-FigureSkater 4 дня назад

      The technique is the same as for flip take-off, except height is even more important for split flip to allow time to attain a full split position before rotating to a landing position. Get plenty of speed, bend, and reach, and rely on automatic rotation from the edge only. Perhaps I will fit in a video on split jumps. I used to pride myself on my Russian split jump landing in a back lunge, but have let split jumps slip out of my repertoire.

Now I am inspired to shoot flip part two at my next opportunity, speaking of finer details. I also must include in the MOVES NEWS a discussion about young skaters and coaches, who too often think they already know it all, as I did in my days of high hubris. Bye for now, Him.

    This is something that all the young skaters at the ice rink should be aware of before their performance. This should be on a big, fancy website where people sign up or see dates for competitions, and your video should be right there so that everyone can learn this. From what I’ve seen, kids and people, including myself, really struggle with this part. And you voiced the fundamentals so well for an audience. Good job on YouTubing, Dad!

All of your loop tips in this video help a lot. Now I am mostly struggling a bit with back outside loops. I found a video from the '88 Calgary compulsory figures competition and started trying the loops using a Shafer push like they do: ruclips.net/video/NJDOxzANY1s/видео.html My strong side is going ok, but not the other (yet!)
