I guess even advice from <Sanders> Beats whatever The kiwi suggests.

Post by: Adam_Mon on June 20, 2017, 03:43:36 am: Wow that spring pattern.
I wonder at what point the top shelf move became general knowledge. maybe people knew about it even back in the 80's but it was considered too risky for a full game at the time?

At my local skating rink, around 1982, we knew about the top shelf move, but none of us could pull it off consistently. Maybe it's because we were 11 and 12 yrs old, but still, we were doing it. NOT doing it on L4 and up is just stupid.

Post by: Barra on June 21, 2017, 04:10:21 pm: Maybe if you get to the end of the game without top-shelving you get a bonus 2.2m points?
