Internet, go to bed… you’re drunk. We mean, to each their own, but this re-appropriation of the word freestyle to redefine what we see as extreme figure skating is a little, well, extreme. Impressive nonetheless. That being said, let’s call a spade a spade. Figure skating and any kind of skating (from hockey to this clusterfuck of bad ideas and broken bones) for that matter deserves respect as is — however you actually feel about it — without the rebranding.
This kind of reminds us of those dance troupes that take tourists money in most major cities. The ones with the circle of onlookers and rusty boombox blasting sweet, hot tunes from the late nineties, early 2000s.
“Bro. It’s not figure skating.
“It’ a lifestyle.”
