I don't find it that great, and the audio is a useless lame looping song, but it's better than nothing. I really want to learn to recognize all the jumps before I attend nationals. Still mostly clueless. Even if I remember which is which in theory, seeing them at full speed is so hard. There must be lots of little cues and things you can look for, like going into the jump, ways you can tell what edge they are on etc. I've liked skating since before 2002 and still can't recognize the jumps, so don't feel bad. It's not something that just happens, I think you do have to set out to learn them. And oh yeah. Skating is too fixated on technical aspects under CoP. I have become convinced that what we need is a hybrid scoring system. Technical Elements = CoP scoring, Presentation = 10.0 scoring. I've given reasons why a limitless points-based scoring system like CoP consistently fails to properly include the artistic side of the sport. The only sticking point I have is figuring out a sensible way to combine the two scores to achieve a ranking... Edited by Particle Man, Dec 4 2008, 12:54 AM.
