 Rating:  - MemoriesWorthwhile memories of skating from top-notched performers. A must have for figure skating fans. Rating: - Great Performances/Bad AudioThis is a great collection of performances by some of history's greatist skaters.If you can get past the beginning,I'm sure you'll enjoy this video.An awful,loud and annoying announcer is heard during the first couple of performances with the music being very low.Afterwards,things pick up.Former skater,Jo Jo Starbuck does a very nice job commenting.Video quality is very good,especially for the age of some of the footage.All performances are firt rate.A nice surprise for me was a routine by Rosalyn ... Read More Rating:  - Bad audio trackThe performances included are good, BUT one CAN NOT HEAR THE MUSIC that the performers are skating to. The music is at a very low volume with some female talking very loudly over it telling that they just did a "triple something". That amateur commentary was not necessary and is very distrubing. The audio "engineer" (if you can call him that) and the producer of this video should go back to high school and enroll in freshman audio-visual! Rating: - Not what I expected!Being 18, I always keep my eye out for videos of "older" skaters from the 1980s and before - since unfortunately I wasn't able to work a VCR at that young of an age! I saw this and went, "Great! Just what I'm looking for!" But not so... I was expecting *competition* highlights from the likes of Scott Hamilton, Rosalynn Sumners, Katarina Witt, Babilonia & Gardner, and more. It turned out to be a good collection of exhibition performances, which is nice as well. Rating: - Oldies but Goodies!When I bought this video I wasn't to keen on getting "Golden Oldies" performances! But anyway I pressed on and watched it, and I loved it. Now it is one of my favorite skating videos that I own, and I have to watch it at least once a month! My favorite performances on the tape are Torvill&Dean's comic tango, and Scott Hamilton's When I'm 64, routine! |
