Adult pre-bronze: 1:40
雖然我距離能滑出一個節目的時間應該還有超久的 但是我知道找音樂可以搞很久 所以就未雨綢繆的開始研究它了

目前前三名的音樂選擇
Dance for Me Wallis - W/E. SoundtrackOFFICIAL - Westworld Soundtrack - Main Title Theme -...Padam, padam

Started a YouTube playlist called “program music library” - basically collecting any music that has potential for a program. Now at 76 videos and growing.

另外很愛的三首歌 但是覺得好像不太適合初級的節目（我應該滑不出來）可以收著以後再用
Nicole Bus - Rain (Official Video)Janelle Monáe – Make Me Feel Lyric VideoSia - Bird Set Free (Audio)

衣服的部分 發現雖然IG上有許多設計師 整個過程可能都要6-8個禮拜才能完成 再加上運送時間 簡直是要三個月以上！除了有成衣(standard pattern but still made to order)跟訂製服(custom design)的差別 還有鑲鑽(beaded)跟素面(unbeaded)的差別.... 價錢可以從$190 到$5000美金不等！

貼一下設計師們

芭蕾舞服裝網站也有一點選擇 但是就是要leotard陪裙子 價錢稍微好一點 大概$150-$200內可以解決 不過有一家店也是made to order所以也要兩個月以上才能送到

所以說 雖然不知道何時能考試 是否應該要趕快決定衣服問題不然搞不好等不到！

所以目標是一件freestyle/ice dance兩相宜的 以後可以繼續穿 希望不要花超過$500 的服裝（做得到嗎？）

其實希望不要超過$300！但是覺得很難
天啊搞的衣服比冰鞋還貴是怎樣

為了省錢就是要自己貼鑽！哈哈

目前覺得最省錢的還是Eleve dance wear...
但是覺得裙子似乎都很透明（比起滑冰裙子通常有兩層 芭蕾裙子只有一層）dramatic high-low skirt感覺有達到冰舞和花式結合的 前面短後面長的剪裁

顏色目前覺得是深綠 或是灰色
Deep forest / lagoon, or wisteria

研究結果是 任何客製化的服裝大概都要五月初才能送到 大約都是$180起跳（沒有鑲鑽）所以要是我4/23考試 那就得買成衣 但是到底何時要考試也很難說 真是難計畫

原本想要花錢做一件衣服穿遍所有考試跟節目的構想好像因為lead time無法達成.... 而且循問設計師她都劈頭就問「音樂是什麼」哈哈哈哈

好了我決定要來買成衣了 不買我一定會忘記到逼近考試時間才panic 😆 #planningahead

今天也多聽了一堆random音樂 多加了30幾個影片到我的youtube playlist中 不過沒有什麼特別比上面幾首出色或是容易剪成1:40的
Henry Mancini - Lujon (mediterranean)
不過這個挺不錯的

Well I’m gonna put inline filler skate shopping research here too.

I did it! I bought me some inline skates! 😂

在隔離防疫的壓力下 加上打七折的優惠（折了$36美金！）跟上次購買的成功 又不小心手滑買了一套衣服哈哈哈哈 買完加運費還不到一百美金覺得十分划算 ...不是這個顏色而上稍微深一點的水綠色 不過正合我意 因為之前其實一直有在看這套衣服但是覺得顏色太淺了不適合我 忽然今天的折價只能適用某些產品 剛好有稍微深一點的顏色真開心🥳

another good example

crystal samples

what an idea!

Impulse Stress shopping的新衣服送到了😆
比直排輪晚訂卻更早到😒
配上黑短裙真的很有芭蕾舞練習感
覺得顏色有點不符想像 原來是跟上面照片同色 雖然訂的時候他是用另外一張照片看起來顏色比較深 oh well I think it’s acceptable
群子這次只有買一層覺得有點透 但是畢竟花式腳抬起來就可以看到底褲了好像也沒有什麼差

chilychily: 我只是覺得有點被網站誤導 哈哈（畢竟我為了午夜折扣結束前只剩30分鐘很努力的快速做了購買的決定）還是不錯的 問題時我何時才會再上冰呢

Is this too subtle?

I thickened it up.

我決定 之前買的深綠冰舞的衣服還是不要貼鑽好了 覺得冰舞的選手都穿蠻素的 來貼這件新的 感覺比較需要💪

q&a!

in-line skates shipped!
Called the skate shop today to check on my order, their new voice message was: “due to the excessive amount of inquiries for inline skates, we are no longer able to answer the phones.”

They never call me back. But I messaged them on Facebook and they responded instantly! Lol

看到這個比較覺得有趣

FIGURE SKATE REVIEWS | John Wilson GOLD SEAL Blades ...FIGURE SKATE REVIEWS | John Wilson Pattern 99 Blade ...
早上看了這兩個reviews忽然覺得很有趣
研究了半天 發現rockers
MK: higher end blades 7’, entry level 7’
John Wilson: higher end blades 8’, entry 8’
😆 很故意耶

Also “spin rockers” is different from main blade rocker.... apparently my Edea Charme is a “3-segment rocker” presumably like the pattern 99 diagram. 但是實際上是什麼完全找不到資訊

距離換鞋/刃應該還有一年多 誰知道到時會有什麼需求 不過怎麼看我還是不懂為什麼大家都愛用非常高級的程度的冰鞋.....

Ice fly $749 (most popular)
Concerto $649
Chorus $399
Overture $299 (my current boot)

JW Gold seal - 8’ $625
MK Gold Star - 7’ $565
JW pattern 99 - 8’ $525
MK phantom - 7’ $525
JW coronation Ace - 7’ $249
MK professional - 7’ $249
Edea Charme - 7’ $99 (my current blade)

上面review那個@hoopskater
Ice fly + gold seal = $1374 😱

我想像中的升級 是個半價 感覺應該很足夠了
Chorus + coronation ace = $648
Both rated through axel and doubles 感覺也沒看到很多成人在跳兩圈的但是大家都愛用ice fly 😂 我真的很好奇到底有多不同

Ice fly感覺看起來有以下幾點優點：
- 輕
- 硬/支持度
- 耐久
- no break in time (for some)

缺點： - 腳型不合 - 左右腳踝鬆lack lateral support

刀的升級 如果想要繼續8’ rocker 就得花大錢用 jw pattern 99 or gold seal. 中階的刀都是7’..

Jackson Ultima matrix blades
原來是不鏽鋼 而不是Carbon steel!!

Same idea as the side honed blades

chilychily: for MK or JW... they have “side honed” blade style which does the same thing

Matrix Legacy 8’ $299
Possibly the 8’ rocker intermediate blade I’m looking for?! It’s a lower grade stainless steel (420j SS) than the Matrix Supreme/Elite/Freestyle (they are 440SS and over $519) but stainless steel anyhow... so it should last longer and weigh less.

Though I’m no super fond of the look of the aluminum chassis....

Also, all dance blades are 7’ so.... maybe it is not a totally bad thing to go to 7’ 🤔

這是你試穿的感覺嗎 覺得鞋子還能試 刀子無法試到底要怎麼決定真的很難

a very good article
Choosing Figure Skating Blades

The History Of Ice Skates

finally some answers!

https://iceglace.com/...
Edea款式還不夠多嗎 又出了兩款
Wave - between overture and motivo
Verve - between concerto and chorus
都說是為了喜歡造型好看的人設計的 但是我都覺得很醜？！哈哈哈 我比較喜歡傳統造型 兩旁沒有挖空的鞋子....

覺得這個鞋跟 跟紋路很不行.....

刀子比較圖
感覺Charme跟Gold Star最像？

Wth is this 😂
On Thin Ice - Episode 1: The Rink Bully

製作了這張圖....

覺得跟我現在的刀比較接近的形狀應該是：
JW Coronation Ace
JW Pattern 99
MK Phantom

最終覺得 研究了半天可能還是Coronation Ace比較適合程度跟價位的考量 變成7’可能真的會比較容易轉/deeper edges~

是啊而且刀子整個很複雜 妳何時要試

真的很想買它但是好貴
還是等到聖誕季看看有沒有打折好了⋯⋯
看來看去還是覺得黑/灰/銀色比較好看
漸層>單色

from my IG friend Anthony
It is literally half the price if ordered directly from Italy!!!! Wtf?! I need to look into this place for future reference.

嗯他已經是穿一樣的鞋

聽起來好像有買過

是這樣嗎 歐美這種一般都是真的有店面 但也同時在網路上賣

John Wilson 出新刀嗎？

John Wilson new blade: Phoenix

This is like the giveaway of a lifetime 😂

I have recently received these
So beautiful

John Wilson Phoenix
Looks like a 8’ rocker and (rumors has it) with gold seal spin rocker... 46% lighter. so tempting and yet probably expensive af! Let’s bet on this coating $750 hahahahaha
Hope I win the giveaway 😆

Also looks like an aggressive toepick similar to pattern 99 though 🤔

Blade sharpening survey!

Bruce @ USA Skates thinks:
- my blades look flat
- I’m progressing fast (!)
- should get new ones
- he would never buy Edea blades 😆
- better to stick with 8’ rocker
- pattern 99 probably too advanced for me
- recommended Jackson ultimate legacy 8
Legacy 8

Right side

今天去找了阿卡迪問刀子的事 他看了一番說
- 感覺沒有什麼問題
- if I don’t like Ron’s sharpening ask Mikhail
- maybe the edges are a little uneven
- there’s some different color spots, maybe a little rust in some areas

接著後來也問了安娜 她也說刀沒問題不用換
顯然問題是我哈哈哈哈哈哈

Basically both Anna and Arkadiy are saying: get a better sharpening done!

Amelia has the same question
And Hamish has the same answer Hahahaha

Arkadiy did say that the slight indentation just behind the toepick was probably cause by the sharpening wheel. Especially if they start the grinding from the front. But not a problem apparently.
