#cantilevers

On 3rd of March, 1984, a cyclo-cross race took place in Grenoble. In this alpine french city, racers faced snowy conditions in La Bastille, around a 17th century fortress overlooking the city. The road was blocked to access the hills surrounding the town so people joined the race in cable cars. With 8 inches of snow covering the hilly course, 28 racers started, and Larbi Midoune from Saint-Etienne took the victory. There was a only a handful of spectators, with some of them on nordic skis to move around the race! source

“Even after seeing it time and time again, Shoma’s cantilevers still get me hyped, especially the super deep, arm dragging on the ice, held for a long time variety.”

I am honored to present this interview with a capable phono cartridge retipper. Many useful insights for any of us here on this Tumblr and a chance to keep our cartridges alive forever! Please, spread the word!

“I feel uncomfortable watching ladies wearing dresses while doing spins, Besti Squat or Cantilever (oftentimes jumps too), especially when the camera zooms in from ... unpleasing angles.”

“Any time I see people wanting Nathan to do ina bauers/cantilevers/hydroblades in his programs, I wonder why people don’t want Yuzuru to try doing cantilevers instead of ina bauers/hydroblades. Oh right, he kinda sucked at it XD (No offense to both tbh, I’m just saying it’s normal for a skater to stick with choreo. moves they know they excel in, like Nathan and his ballet jumps and Yuzuru with his IB/hydroblades.)”

“I wish Shoma would bring back his no hands cantilevers.”

“I really want to see Nathan add more elegant moves to his programs. Not that he's not already elegant, but I would love to see him add cantilevers and hydroblading to his programs. As much as I love the quads and the butterfly jumps, I want to see a little more ~~style~~ to his programs.”
