Gary my family and I really enjoyed watching you as a competitive and show skater. We're happy to find out that you now have your own channel. Even though we no longer skate we still like to watch skating and hope that your expert knowledge will impact the younger skaters who seem to lack the technical skills that skaters of your generation learned. Best of luck to you and we will keep watching.
Gary. I wish the best on your YT journey. I would love to hear the story behind your "Song of songs" performance and details about your tricks decisions and their aspects. I bet you have a lot of fun things to say about them (like the sideways split). Also, I wanna hear in-depth pointers on the "helicopter spins" you do towards the mid-end where you do consecutive 360 turns while twisting your torso and letting your arms "helicopter". I watched that performance like 7 times back-to-back when I discovered it. So amazing.
Ah, those "helicopter spins"! Ross Luxton was fascinated with these, and I tried to teach them to him with limited success. Not a bad idea for a video in the future. I prefer to live in the present with a view into the future, instead of delving on performances from the past, but the fact that you have expressed an interest in Song of Songs suggests that a video about the nature of the moves and how to execute them might be well-received. Thanks for the well-wishing and suggestions!
This is my opinion and maybe that of others but I don’t think Gary is appreciated for the artistic trailblazer he is. I remember seeing Gary in Brian Boitano’s and Katarina Witt’s show called Skating and thinking to myself “wow! That is such an innovative way to move on the ice.” It’s even more wonderful that instead of hanging up the skates like many skaters do, Gary is still out there. It’s inspiring that you can have a long time love with this sport.

Thanks for your message and encouragement, Jimmy. All the best to you and your family!

Thank you for sharing that, Jen. It is this sort of appreciation that helps me keep going and doing what I do.
