triples, quads, throw triples, layback spin, spirals

What I like to do:
Spiral sequence (biellman, arabesque, catch foot)
Spins (layback, sometime biellman when I can do it the one Mao was doing last year http://www.maomaiasada.com/photos/img/photo/wc07/JC1E0442.jpg)
jump (my favorite is double loop!!!!!!!!...I also like the double flip...I can do all my doubles except the double axel but my favorites are the loop and the flip)

I also love all of the moves that you listed!

Favourite Jumps to do
-single loop (off ice)

to watch... it's triple loop =D

Favourite Spins to do
-too bad can't spin off ice! =( but i can do triple twizzles off ice! you just got to have the baby powder

to watch... Yukari and Mao's Doughnut spin.. sasha's I-spin... Mao's Y-spin and Biellmann... Fumie's scratch spin! =D

Favourite Spirals to do
-fan spiral.. (off ice I just hold the position for 3 secs)) I copy Mao's spiral a lot! hahaha but not as high as Mao's (or not even high) !

to watch... Mao's kerrigan spiral and Sasha's Arabesque Spiral!

Everyone pretty much hit the nail here, but here's one that hasn't been mentioned that I will LOVE to see more in competitive programs:

Hydroblading! Taka-chan had it way back in his Junior programs and I will be a very happy camper if it made its way back into his programs...Tim Goebel had great ones as well, back when he was competitive Spread eagles are always great to watch, of course, but hydroblading is so rare to see these days in competition (it is, after all, not as versatile as a regular bauer or SE and is more or less a "highlight" of a move like Shizuka's layback Ina Bauer were in her programs)...

I unfortunately can't even do a 3-jump on the ice. Basic crossovers and that's it! I would love to pursue skating on a regular basis, but SanFran isn't exactly the most blessed of locations in terms of rinks...

Oh, i like all, but here are my favorites:

Jump:

double axel

Spin:

Strech Spin (esp. the one Yuna often do at the end of her programs)
Bielmann Spin, if the skater is very flexible, like Sasha or Mao

Spiral:

Ina Bauer and Y-Position like Shizuka always do

Sadly, im a very unsporty and unflexible girl, but i can do the Ina Bauer on and off the ice *lol*
I want to learn to rotate and also would like to stretch my leg til my head, like in an Y-Position^^

I'm not a figure skater , so I can't do anything
What moves I like to watch:
1.spins:
Bielmann spins ( Mao's and Irina's I love the most!)
I-spins( but I should say Sasha's I-spin, no one come close to her position)
laybacks ( Carolina's pearl is outstanding!)

And I like Yuna's camel

jumps:
quads and 3 axels, other jumps look not so exciting!
and I like pairs side by side jumps!

footwork:
From ladies only Mao's, from mens Plushy, Daisuke, Lesha and Evan's .

Spirals:
Everything that Sasha and Mao do! Also I like Mirai's bielmann and Caroline's arabesque spiral.

I've been skating since I was 2 1/2 (9.5 years) and I hope to go to the Olympics in 2014. I'm praying I don't get a major growth spurt (I'm 4'7" want to be at least 4'11")

Is there any video of you skating? on icenetwork or something?
Just wondering, how can a "3Sal-2Lutz-1Loop" be done :O ?

Oops typo! I meant Toe Loop. I always add any single I can manage after my 3Sal-2Lutz combos, It usually comes out as a Toe Loop. My coach taught me it when I ws 10 1/2 ( 1/2 a year after I landed my first triple). My mom doesn't allow me to post photos or videos on the internet so sorry, there aren't any.

BTW love your Mao Fansite

It's one of my crazy, hard-to-explain skating. I consider myself a very odd kid.

And these are all to watch, because I don't do any of it!

Sigh, I've been skating more than 10 years now...and im still Freestyle 6 (ISI)...
When I started skating at like 6 or something like that, I wasn't really that into it, a 30-minute lesson every week . And now, I wish I had the time to take lessons everyday.
Anyhow, I have decided to pursue skating next year in college

i dont skate so there is no move i like to do but theres alot of moves that i like to watch

-3A-2TL (mao)
-Biellmann spin (yuzuru)
-split jump
-3F-3TL(yuna)
-flying sit spin
-hydroblading
-4T (yuzuru-practice video on youtube)
-ina bauber (shizuka)

Well, I don't skate, so my fave moves to watch are... oh, it's hard to decide...

Layback spins. I love them, they'so beautiful and the skaters look gorgeous when they execute it, like ballerinas really.
Flying sit spin. It's great when skaters do it in a transition from a slow to a powerful moment of the music. I don't like the flying camel that much, the position when they land it is not so beautiful.
Salchow is my fave jump, I love the entrance. I also like the loop, especially in combo (Mao's 3F-3Lo).
Spread eagle with both outside and inside edge.
Intrincate, fast step sequences.

If I remember something else, I come back.

I feel like most of mine have already been said, but I guess that makes sense, that fans of Mao will like watching similar things in skating

-Mao's 3A-tano 2T
-Twizzles
-Spread eagles
-Falling leafs
-Sasha Cohen's Russian split jump
-Step sequences, especially detailed, intricate ones
-Caroline Zhang or Mirai Nagasu's layback-->Biellman spin
-A quad combination jump (especially a 4-3)
-Loop
-Mao's 3F-3L
-Mao's fan spiral
-Tano jumps
-Charlotte spiral

I want to do a triple axel and a biellman spin! Lol! First, though, I need to learn how to skate. Hahaha!
