Ina Bauer into a 2A with a beautiful extension into a forward spiral

Very nice

I’ve been going through and rewatching various skating programs, and I wanted to ask: What programs stand out to you as being unique?

Some of mine:
Urmanov’s Swan Lake- first man to play the swan
Stojko- Bruce Lee Story- the martial arts style was unique at the time
Kaori- Matrix - honestly just love the slice the judges move
Gutman- Squidgames - honestly a toss up between this and Jaws, I adore her creativity
Shaidorov- Confessa/Diva Dance- he really sells the (sometimes odd) movements and music
Candeloro- Wild Wild West- honestly Idk how to describe this one. It has backflips, guns, lassos and costumes changes

If y’all want links to any of these skates let me know! I’m just looking for some unique skates to fill my late night doom scrolling lol

i've been working on fixing the edge and completely changed my takeoff but the edge still looks dubiously inside at the very last second, any tips to get a deeper outside edge? (also my lower back also sorta aches after practicing it long enough, not sure if i just need to stretch more or if my jumping technique is actually terrible lmao)

BONUS: Grand Prix mini simulation Based on Current Scores

Observation:
This is only a little exercise for fun that i decided to include here as a bonus, if you guys dont like it ill not include it in the next posts of this mini series
