The first challenge we have for you today is a spiral that is essentially a line from a single book, but the thing is, we have to make it look good. The spiral requires you to have both legs straight. I have a question. I have a question. Can I drop F-bombs? Oh yeah, you can do it, so come on, it seems like it requires a lot more flexibility than I would expect and I don't think so. I'm going to be able to make it, yeah, it looks like I'm on a lead on this one. Hockey skates don't have a tail and

I don't think I can go home guys, let's start learning the spiral on the wall, so they'll put one hand on the wall, use their arms for balance and extend one leg back, okay, let's see. If you can balance like this first, straight, turning your foot, oh, look at that, that looks good, that's me, oh, thank you, point your toes and then tilt your body and see if you can extend your leg higher , that's all and then they will want. to lift your chest into your chin that way you don't lean forward, so the next step is to try to slide.

I am the ice, are you ready? Okay, let's try that one more time. I saw some bent legs, so remember. both legs have to be super straight, they did it pretty well. Michelle actually had a really nice spread on her free leg. Evo suffered some strokes, but she tried. Let's see if they can improve and get used to their larger exhaust. On

figure

skates, Apple, who sucks, can balance with her leg up and her chest up all at once and with her arms extended, so it requires a lot more flexibility than I have and I think that We hockey

have the next challenge we have.

It's a spin that's

self

explanatory in the sense that it's a rotational movement, you'll be spinning, so the version I'm going to show you today will look more like this, it seemed almost impossible to me. I don't understand the mechanics. behind it, so I can't wait to hear the instructions on this one. I think I'm going to throw up just watching this let alone doing it, we have to try it. I would like everyone to start with their left hand in front of their nose, so we are going to start with a movement called a pivot and this leads us into doing our first rotation.
We will bend both knees and send the right finger outward. You'll press your toe into the ice and you'll find that first rotation that was really cool, you know, I haven't seen you do anything to try to

keep

up, okay, there you go, visual, the good thing, I'm going to throw up, so We're going to continue, that was very good, that's good, from here we're going to feel very good. big arm squeeze, ready, okay, you did your first rotation on both feet, we're going to try to slide the right foot up, so we'll finish the pivot, the rotation and slide the right foot up, it's that walking thing .
That really gets him. I definitely think he had a great time with her. She seems quite fearless. You really have to try it. If you stop on a turn, you're just not going to turn, and that's why Evo didn't do so well. With this element, Evo just needs to join that rotation, again it was more difficult than he expected. When we skated in hockey, we just skated scared, but there were a lot of other things to focus on in DES, so it was definitely a challenge. I think the twist is just making me sick, but I actually understand the concepts of this one pretty well.
She explained it very well. I do not want to say anything. Today's third challenge is a misleading bunnyhop name. We are jumping, we are moving forward. those toes you don't have on your hockey skates get ready here we go oh I'm excited to jump on the ice let's get some air that's it oh we can try it okay so we'll start with a push towards the left when you push to the left, you will move your right arm forward and your left arm back, you will like to kick a soccer ball, correct sports, you will kick with your foot, jump towards the ground with your toe and push towards the left god that was confusing so what are you going to push let's push to the left with the right arm in front kick the soccer ball up and over land on the toe and push forward it doesn't feel like when we jump you're going to switch arms so stay here and make your arms move nice and easy so push to the left and then let your foot come down to your toe and push to the other foot that's going. in the air first the right the right the foot that pushes well that's all that's not so difficult not so difficult swing to the right exactly yes I can't go Oh No yes it's okay the most nervous the jovian swing your arm like hey, this looks great, very nice swing yes Gorge, so I knew they were nervous about their songs and I could see some nerves.
I think they are being a little indecisive. I think everyone has a bigger jumper in them maybe, but at the end of the day there are more difficult jumps for them. learn, so this is just the first step, you know, at first it seemed scary, but in the end it was the easiest one yet. I must say that Ellie had really explained it well and once I tried it a couple of times, it actually wasn't that bad, yeah. one actually gave me a certain level of comfort with the topics. Before I was very afraid of my songs, so now I like them.
I want to use them a little more. Looks like I broke my leg. I'm going to have to do it. Have fun I realize we're going to do a waltz jump so this is a jump not a jump yeah before you learn the bunny jump and now we're doing the waltz jump so the bunny jump You will perform the waltz forward on your left foot, left, forward, outer edge and finish backwards, with the right, back, outer edge. Let's be realistic. Well, I think we've been taught all the basics, so this should be easy, except it looked absolutely terrifying.
I don't know, I don't even know. I know what to say I feel like I need all my hockey gear for this because I don't think this is going to end well, to be honest, I don't want to do it right, ready to do the waltz jump, done or okay. In fact, I'll help you, oh, you'll start with your left foot in front, this is called tea position,

keep

my arms extended and you'll jump from your left foot to your right foot, so from here you'll be. you're going to slide, kick, land backwards, you're actually going to move the tip of your right toe a little bit so it comes down backwards, yeah, go with your left foot and then your right foot, okay, wow, jump, yeah , they are ready? do it without help.
Oh, what we want to do is when you land, you want to land with your left arm in front. Pull and stop the rotation, your leg will extend behind you so you can slide well, maybe we can try it. put your hands together bring your hands back you're going to do a little jump that's all one two three so those are the arms you're going to do in the waltz jump one two three save it well now that you're gone I was late they did great As

players

of hockey, I expected them to be athletic and they were, so the jumps had good height and they could stand up so well that it seemed much scarier to watch it than to do it, but I'd rather block a shot with my face. and doing this again I think we could do a little better probably with some pads on so we were a little more confident landing but I think we did pretty well we just need more practice are you ready for your challenge final, yes?
It's time for a routine, so let's put everything we just learned together. We're going to start with our pivot, our waltz jump, some spiral bunny hops, and to finish it off, your big spin, and that's easy, Elliot looks amazing doing that. I am extremely intimidated. I don't want to let our coaches down, so I have a feeling we're going to have a tough time with this. Yes, I'll try. Don't forget what we have to do. Can. I have a cheat sheet or something like so many things happening I don't remember anything let's start with our arms behind our back standing proud we're all proud to be here today we turn with our left arm extended and you're we're going to give each other a yes, yes, Come on Eve, oh you're proud, I know you can, yes, yes, exactly, give her your phone.
Flair, a few months, it's time for the wolf stump, just try it, big wolf, okay, they already have it, yeah, okay, yeah. In fact, let's give our bunny hopps another try, bunny hop, bunny hop, bunny hop, raising your right, in fact, oh, a nice stop forward from here, it's time to go, it's the grand finale, give me your best spin with one foot, if you can accept our spin. yes yes yes yes okay and we reach for the sky and that's your final pose roses on the ice applause applause applause olympic glory and yours ok Nichelle, go ahead, start with our pivot, arm comes out to the side, pivot around, gather strength in the arm. from above it's time to jump waltz Wow, better than before, even bunnyhop bunnyhop is gaining spiral speed he didn't even put his foot on the ground, give me a stop, come on, it's the turn Wow, get down Wow, you'll make it flat and strong , a fist from the sky. and a wolf jumps hold your breath okay and jumps a bunny jumps a spider I'll make it agile okay and it's from the top to the front a turn to finish and stretch down with the palm facing up the end okay we start with our pivot she knows everything for her

self

simply from the sky, a waltz, a high jump and a bunny hop, a bunny hop, a spiral with arms extended upward and stopping, a twist to finish and our final pose, stretch down, stand up.
I was intrigued to see how these hockey

skaters

would handle a routine, but I guess. They attacked it with the same energy of hockey and I was very impressed. They really did it. I think they are bringing home the gold, yes, the gold. Learning a figure sheet was much harder than I thought. I give him a lot. I give

skaters

credit with their fingers because they always seem to land on their butts and knees and stuff without pads, so I think if they can do that, I'm pretty impressed that they have my respect. My favorite was probably like this and this move is pretty simple, easy and fun and even though it was the most challenging, the wall strip was definitely my favorite because at first it seemed impossible but I was actually quite surprised at how well it did.
I was able to act after learning all those moves and in some ways putting it together wasn't bad, it was actually fun to be honest. I think you should be impressed with what we do and it's not all just glitter in the costumes, it's some courage and bravery, it's fun to see them really struggle with the theme, but they got used to the equipment as the skills progressed so it was nice to see them improve, you know, there's always this kind of battle since childhood as a hockey player. better as a figure skater better who's faster who could do this if you do that and it was fun to see him go out and prove yourself.
