Split Central

[forevermkfan]

This is off of the topic in the Polling booth, but I'd thought I'd post it here. I love Sasha and Michelle's split jumps, spirals, y spins, you name it. Anything that has to do with a split. They are just so awesome. Here's my fav pictures of both of them with their splits. :D (Sorry this post is soooo long) LOL

[Ashley]

Thanks a lot! I really like this one:
http://radio.weblogs.com/0100243/images/2002/02/22/cohen2002.jpg

[forevermkfan]

Wow Ashley - you looked at all those pictures fast!! LOL. Yea, I like that one too, that's why it's my avatar. What's your fav Michelle one? Just wondering. I posted my fav on the bottom of the Michelle post.

[Ashley]

This one I think:
http://www.chronicletelegram.com/archive/html/2002/february/022002/images/kwan.jpg

[forevermkfan]

I like that one alot too! LOL

[icesk8rchiq]

OMgosh there are soo many!!!!!

[forevermkfan]

Hey Icesk8rchiq - you changed your avatar! I was getting used to the other one. LOL. Yea, I know there are a lot. It takes a long time to look at them all. JK It only takes like, 41/2 minutes lol. But who's counting?:p

[icesk8rchiq]

Look at the edge quality in this one!

[Ashley]

The link doesn't work...:(

[forevermkfan]

Here's the link Ashley:

http://quickfound.net/images/sports/skaters/180x357_michelle_kwan_12_7_2001.jpg

Yea, I absolutely love that tone too. The edge is amazing. :D

[sk8ing_lady2001]

Thanks so much for all of these, Rachel. :) I like both skaters.

They're all good pictures. :D

Here are my favorite ones though:

http://www.jsonline.com/sports/oly02/image/cohen21902.jpg

[Ashley]

Thanks for the link. It is a very nice spiral!

[Always_Sasha]

Those are all awesome picture, but my favorites are the "Sasha Spiral", Michelle's Falling leaf splits and the Y-spins.

[danibellerika]

http://radio.weblogs.com/0100243/images/2002/02/22/cohen2002.jpg

That one is cool, but it looks like a cross between a Russian Split and a split leaf to me.

[Ashley]

Yeah it kinda does when I really looked at it!

[forevermkfan]

Yea lol. Glad you guys like them. It's my 'collection' lol.:p

[CartDi]

that's a lot of pictures!!! Heh... I have a bunch I'd like to share too but I dunno how to post them! (they're not on websites, they're saved on my computer). Someone wanna tell me how? :D

Yeah me too that's what I was thinking. It's probably because her body is rotated towards one leg, rather than centered. It's cool though.

[forevermkfan]

Yeah!! That one's my avatar!! I like it a lot!:p

[danibellerika]

that might be her other russian split that's in your avatar b/c her position looks a tad diff. She did do two in the lp.

[forevermkfan]

Yea it is a little bit different when you look at it. :p

[Always_Sasha]

Or they could be from Worlds, cuz that's the costume she wore.

[danibellerika]

I doubt it's from Worlds. It says Salt Lake on the first one. And the outline of the rink at the bottom of the avatar is blue like the Salt Lake rink was.

[forevermkfan]

Yeah. :p :D lol

[icesk8rchiq]

I always look at her hair when deciphering whether it was at worlds or olympics... in the olympics she wore the rose in her hair.. and at worlds, she didnt! lol

[Always_Sasha]

lol. I never would have caught that, but I was in Italy the week of Worlds and didn't see them :cry:

[danibellerika]

See, I differentiate the hair style AFTER noticing the surroundings and costumes. But like in my avatar, I can tell it's from the olys b/c of the hair(and I saw another picture of this that's not cropped and shows the NBC logo on the screen).

[forevermkfan]

Yea - most times I notice hair after surroundings and stuff, but definitely not first. I'm pretty observant.:p

[icesk8rchiq]

i only noticed the hair thing not so long ago.. of course i look at outfits first!! :P

[danibellerika]

well of COURSE the outfit comes first, but when that fails, ou gotta go to the other stuff.

[Always_Sasha]

This one is my favorite. :D It's so defined and strong.

[sk8ing_lady2001]

That's a great choice, Kendra! :)

[CartDi]

that one's my favorite too :p

[Always_Sasha]

[forevermkfan]

[sk8ing_lady2001]

As always, I am a fan of the splits, spirals, and the Sasha Curl. :)

[forevermkfan]

It is from worlds. :D From qualifying :)

forevermkfan's avatar is the same ;)

[GreekGoddess85]

I love Sasha's split jumps
It's hard to understand how someone as tiny as Sasha can get so much height on her split jumps :)

[sk8ing_lady2001]

Yes, for sure. Her split jumps are absolutely excellent. I am proud to say such a thing. :D
