I saw him skate on TV a few months? ago.I can’t remember where it was but it dedicated the program to his wife who was in the audience.
He skates? at my rink in CA. Super nice guy and still an amazing skater!
What is Tim doing? now?He would be in his 60’s.
Brian has more athletic? ability than Cranston.
His footwork is stupendous – just? brilliant!
This is one of the best programs I have ever seen – I don’t think there’s a back crossover in the entire program – its all seamless, difficult, dynamic footwork broken up with difficult jumps,? turns and spins. AMAZING! He certainly is one of the unsung heroes of American figure skating.
OMG – I also skated at Northfield Plaza in the summer of 1966 – I cam down? from Detroit to skate with my then coach Ronnie Baker – I don’t remember Scott there, LOL – anyway, wondering if we knew each other? I took my Willow Waltz with Tim that summer (my skating claim to fame…)
Such gorgeous deep edges!?
great stuff. Skating was really skating back in the day.? Let’s hope history repeats itself. Down with IJS.
Yeah right. This video only proves that it’s changed a lot. He did the easiest triple and it sounded like even that? was very rare. Now the men do quads. And the program is more centered around jumps than footwork.
I think he? was the last one that did the back flip.
I thought it was quite a good performance. You have to remember back then school figures accounted for most of the marks, so skaters concentrated on those more. Free skating didn’t really start to take off until the 70s. And artistry for men didn’t start until 2 gentlemen called Curry and Cranston came? on the scene.
AFTER all of these years, figure skating has changed only a? little. This is very sad.
Hmm maybe. His? coach was Ronnie Baker and I have no way of knowing whether Linda Leaver also was coached by him (he moved from Detroit to Cleveland in 1968 or ’69… I also knew Johnny Johns as a teenager and Tim preceded him and that dance/pairs powerhouse that came afterwards, although the Detroit SC also hosted Ron and Cindy Kaufman for a while. The skating world was much smaller then…
It’s almost uncanny. So many head positions, the basicness of the stroking, the lean, the free leg position on landings….I wonder? if his (Boitano’s) coach might have come up under Tim’s coaches. I was also surprized to see him from the SC of Detroit. I always associate them with Johnny Johns and ice dancing, they must have been a skating powerhouse even earlier.
Thank you for your insight on this? skater – I skated with him in the ’60’s and feel that a lot of my love of skating stems from his skating – I also LOVE Brian Boitano and since your comment have watched his skating again – yes, I see a lot of Tim in there. Thank you.
I remember watching this on Wide World Of Sports, it’s one of the performances that really interested me in skating….the speed, the flow, and control outstanding. gave feeling of freedom in a very constrictive society!! Isn’t he an early (and skinny) Brian Boitano!! His arms do nothing artistically, cause that would? be unmanly!! You can see why Toller Cranston got BORED with skating!!!!!
this? is really neat.
