how is your english so good?? (also your signing is too good)
My english is baaaaaaaaaad and I think the lyrics are wrong lol I wasn’t thinking too much at this point xDDD (awww thank you!!)
Can I ask you where you watched the Autumn Classic International?
I watched it from Skate Canada’s official Dailymotion livestream. It was free, not region blocked, and great quality. They archive all their streams, so you can still watch it here:https://www.dailymotion.com/skatecanada/videosMen’s SP, Men’s FS, Ladies’ SP, Ladies’ FS, Pairs SP, Pairs FS, Ice Dance RD, Ice Dance FDThey also havethe same stream but with French/no commentary, the full practice footage of all the disciplines, some interviews, and the on-ice Men’s Victory Ceremony. In addition to that, you can find all of the past domestic and some international competitions held within Canada, so if you want to compare the last couple of ACI to this ACI, you can do that.
Videos have been reuploaded to YouTube on various people’s accounts, so if YouTube works better for you, or you want to watch specific skater’s performances, you can find them there too. These two accounts (1, 2) have uploaded I think all the videos in the English commentary version, in the same quality as the official Skate Canada account, and the Japanese TVAsahi version for Yuzu’s performances. This account reuploaded the Yuzu videos with no commentary, and the Japanese TVAsahi version.I like the English commentary version because the commentator Ted Barton is amazing and we don’t deserve him, but the no commentary (technically it’s the French commentary) version is good if you don’t want any talking.
I’m very glad people raise these points. Obviously, this is a concern when you’re recycling things to use in your garden, so I looked into it a little...
Tyres
Tyres, like many types of rubber, are treated with various chemicals during manufacture. The ones of most concern are plasticisers. These tend to mostly leach out in the first year or so – they’re what gives rubber that sharp, bitter smell when it’s still new.
Some links:
Tread carefully: recycling tyres
Dumped on: Waste tyres environmental impact
Safe to use Tyres in Gardens?
Growing food in tyres
Unfortunately, my only conclusion is that, without any proper research, it looks inconclusive. It seems like tyres should be safe enough to use, but I can’t say for certain. Best not to use them for growing food, I’d say. Better safe than sorry.
They’ll still work nicely for growing flowers and non-edible plants, though.
Wooden Pallets
Yes, these can be contaminated, so be careful. The biggest concern is if they’ve been treated with any chemicals – the worst of these chemicals are, to my knowledge, banned in the EU and no longer used in the US. Even so, here are some helpful links:
Is my wooden pallet safe to reuse?
How to Tell if a Pallet is Safe to Use in the Garden
Is my pallet safe for reuse?
To summarise, wooden pallets for international use have markings to show if they’ve been treated. The best are marked DB and are untreated. Markings of EPAL, KD, or HY are also fine. These are heat treatments which have no lasting effects.
Ones to avoid are any which are painted in bright colours, or marked EUR (treated but non-specific – so it could be anything). If you find one marked MB, avoid it because that stuff is nasty.
If it has no markings, then it wasn’t intended for international use. These are mostly left untreated, but there’s no way to be sure, so use with caution.
I haven’t found so much about the collars, but I’m assuming the same rules apply.
I hope some of you find this useful!

Hi! I was wondering if you know who does the commentary in the JGP competitions on the official ISU youtube channel. I feel like I listened to him a thousand hours and I really like him. It would be nice to know at least is name.
His name is Ted Barton! He usually mentions it at the beginning and end of livestreams. He’s a Canadian skating official who got the ISU to start streaming the JGP in the first place, and in our opinion he’s probably the best commentator that skating has. He’s always supportive, gives good insight and critiques, and doesn’t talk all the way through a program.

why not?
well ok the production team is REALLY BAD at being consistent about Victuuri’s height difference (Which is fine, I know animating is hard and that there are more important things, but I’m just putting it out there; maybe they fixed it in the bluray, idk) and I don’t have the most SCIENTIFIC reasons for believing this but here’s basically why I think Viktor is AT LEAST four inches (10cm) taller than Yuuri
It usually shows Yuuri still being just LIL BIT shorter than Viktor when he’s in skates and Viktor isn’t. Maybe two centimeters/three-fourths of an inch.
The thing is--and I know this from figure skating myself--is that, with blades and the heel of your boot and depending on the size shoe you wear, figure skates add a good three and a half to four inches to your height. If we’re generous and say that Yuuri’s skates only make him three inches/seven centimeters taller (Which is...unlikely, honestly, it’s really probably gonna be more like a full ten cm/4 inches unless Yuuri his TINY FEET) that would mean that he and Viktor would be of a height, Yuuri’s skates would make up the difference. But they don’t. There’s still just that sliver of height to be made up.
So yeah I’m relatively certain that Viktor is probs about 4 inches taller than Yuuri, 10cm. That would make Viktor an even six foot, or Yuuri 5′7′’, which honestly makes more sense to me bc that’s the exact height difference between me and my dad and I was never quite eye level with him, I always had to look up just slightly, and that’s what I see Yuuri doing in most shots in the anime where they’re on level footing.
But, like, obviously this is just me and what I think.

There is also the number of rotations that I still can’t pinpoint for sure. Like I think this was a quad but I’m never 100% sure. I’m always like wait, was that a quad? But one other point that I forgot to mention is that I feel like if I take all my brain power to try (and fail) to identify the jumps, I just can’t enjoy the beautiful artistry of the person skating and that’s really important to me. So I only try to identify them in slow motion if I’m feeling so inclined
YES, that is exactly what happened to me when I tried to identify jumps during the GP and the European. My attention was simply not on the beauty of the routines anymore. By the time 4CC and Worlds rolled around, I’d given up on trying to do that.

Brb gonna go start Voltron
I wanted to start it too! maybe I should do it now!
It’s been on my dash for weeks now so I thought I’d give it a chance. You should! It’s great so far XD
