Ways to improve ice skating

1. Afterbang: Duh
2. Better clothing: steezier and baggier for guys, similar for girls, but no fabric where the brown stuff is. Show some skin!
3. Better music: Even Ke$ha is better than boring classical music, and it could make for more exciting routines
4. Inverts: It's all about progression

any other ideas, ns?

Not have it. So much politics and other garbage go into the judging of that it just makes it fucking stupid.

Same in ski jumping. Instead of the telemark landing, they should straight bang it out, for extra style points

And put a rail at the end of the run, for good measure

Philippe Candeloro was a pretty cool ice skater. With interesting routines.
He did all sorts of weird things which all got banned.
Like a backflip:

stop having it. dancing on ice is dumb. they should replace it with hunting bears on ice skates.

The Olympics, unlike the xgames, is not about progression. That's why you see the same shit every year.

They should have "skater cross" same course and rules as skier cross, but on ice, with ice skates.
