Johnny Weir/Rudy Galindo Throw Triple Axel

[aquamarreene]

That is so cool!

[PinkSunrICE]

I'm in love with Johnny and I have so much respect for him! Go Johnny!!!

[Hunterbythesea]

That was cool. Like both skaters talents. However I met Rudy Galindo once in San Jose, he was not friendly at all.

[pelicanus11]

Johnny weir is the girl.

[pelicanus11]

This is where they got the idea for Blades of Glory

[iteachbass]

BRAVO!!!!!!! Rudy is a class act, and Johnny has so much talent. Pairing experience with youthful enthusiasm is a winning combination.

[CrustofCreation]

I love this. Leave it to Rudy and Johhny to pair up and do something like this :p

[skatebride9205]

"Blades of Glory" in real life!!!:-D

[CrustofCreation]

@skatebride9205 WIN!

[uncchristine99]

Amazing!! Johnny gets some major air and it doesn't even look like Rudy did that much?

[kadocash]

aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh omg this is so crazy i watch it everyday lol

[Thkmra]

Dumb...he barely picked me up with his weak self(Galindo). Though nice going from Weir to play it off!!

[ilmamigood]

love love

They are lover.

[PecanSandees23]

It really helps that Johnny can already land a triple axel. US Pairs is not that bad right now; like everything else, it needs time.

[photojimsf]

whoa, yeah, I'd love to be tossed around like that, by either and/or both of them.

[peacex3ice]

they would make such a legit pairs team!

[rockab3ll]

DAMN!! GET UM SON!!! That's how it's done.

[SweetSurrenderQ]

perfect, love Johnny

[jwlovelove]

Johnny,Great!!!

[sibr97]

GAY!!!!!11

[scorptale]

OMG THAT IS AWSOOMMMMMMMMMME!

[Emeraldgreen501]

That was awesome! Johnny is my favorite American single's skater after Scott Davis.

[DizzyDior12]

UH-mazing. :D

[pagsmiley]

is that Sasha Cohen in the pink?

[nashleigh79]

sorry johnny luv ya but u'r no kristi

[HattieLovesCattie]

The two lefties.LOL

[rangerma5]

what can a man naturally not do on ice?

[seakid123]

@rangerma5, Be straight.

[rangerma5]

your an asshole offcourse they can...

[charismaticrain]

Because two men obviously can't do throw jumps together and what we're seeing above is a trick of the light.

I laugh.

[belitavivero]

you dont need to laugh, im taking OFF the ice, something much more philosofical. I can see the throw man, im not blind, and its nice.

[belitavivero]

is that sasha the girl of pink top?

[pagsmiley]

oops, I just asked the same question.

[bassethound1]

Probably the best team the US could field right now :)

[twitchywitchygirl]

is that johnney .. he looks really diffrent !

[anonymuschan]

that was hot.

[elfetto89]

Wait wait.....The Outgames are games for gay people....or not?

My Johnny is gay....... ^_^ YEAH!

[elfetto89]

Sorry, i did't read......champions on ice....well, but i think he's gay too XD W Johnny, I love u!

[yngtxtopbear]

Hmm if we put one of them in a dress, do you think we could get them to compete in pairs? US Pairs SUCKS horribly right now.

[6our6vampire6hearts]

HOT *cough* what?? I mean that was beautiful!! haha that was seriously awesome haha they are both kick-ass skaters, Johnny is my favorite skater EVER :]

[abitwilightfanatic]

really good !

[waddleduckie1]

Chuckyko, go and bury yourself and please stop coming into Johnny's forum. Your comments are very unacceptable as they will be marked for deletion.

[waddleduckie1]

Wow! This is the best video of Johnny and Rudy! And one of the rarest too!

[joanabm18]

Perfect!

[StewNWT]

you just proved you're a pathetic douche

[waddleduckie1]

chuckyko. Just grow up. Stop acting like a 3 year old.

[Qacc6]

Scum. Better go kill yourself.

[iceroby72]

you! repulsive homofobic monster... you aren't even a human beeing just a low-life bag..........

[iceroby72]

maybe you'r just envious... I'm sure you want some.....hehehehe

[memd92]

you know.....it really does not matter who is gay or straight, I honestly do not care what hole johnnie or rudi use or ejaculate in. They are awesome skaters. Rudis performance on the ice in 93 or 94 was the finest that I have seen since!

[signejorgenson]

@memd92 It was 1996.  :)

[mudhead24]

gay straight whatever.. a throw triple axel is awesome! this just proves how amazing johnny is regardless !!!!

[vistaprime]

when was this?

[uwoeric]

They should compete in the Outgames where you can have same-sex couples compete in skating!

[eyeskater1]

wait...what? outgames? how did I miss this?...gimme links...videos..please.

[pitousa13]

Haha...that was awesome...was that Sasha in the back?

[AnyoneElse22]

Yes, that was Sasha doing her footwork...

[LuvnJCandJB]

wow he's strong! and yay JW landed it :)

[aliooon]

OMG it is so cute I so would like to be there a category for male/male or female/female, it could bring something really hot to the ice, sure? XD

[lavazzita]

haha I like johnnys frisure!

[schnisha95]

so he is gay!

[dramagal19]

they did that to prove the blades of glory theory

[schnisha95]

ok i c

[hidexgod]

this is just awesome...I wish there could be this category... not only boring man+woman

[snowemerald]

YESSS!! why not? this is 2008 is it not? i agree with silveryraven it would be really funny to see them do that. and johnny's triple axel is so good..

[silveryraven]

I want to see Johnny do this with Evan. Now that would be an awesome show. Their hotness would melt the ice. ^-^

[free2sing247]

lol right on wish I could see that! however, Evan did do a throw single axel with Jeffrey Buttle! @ the 2008 Four Continents Ex. it's here on youtube somewhere, enjoy!

[gemine911]

yes it would!!

now y cant there be a category for man+man, and woman+woman, me and one of my firneds do "pairs" for fun, no lefts just side by side moves. its fun

[jesren22]

hells yeah!!!!

[winer65]

This is so funny. I think they should add this when they tour together. It is awesome.

[edenrising]

Johnny has really nice legs... *is jealous*

[AliKey]

lol @ anyone who finds this disturbing or weird. i think you guys have some issues you need to deal with on your own. anyway i love seeing rudy out there and skating. is he a regular on the tour? or does he just do select dates?

[L8T8I8]

WOW that is one amazing triple axel; even more so considered that most "regular" pairs need years of training to land a triple axel in a competition that looks like this one! (and this practice looks like it's "just" for a show or ex)

[luchito345]

johnny's triple axel is gorgeous, my favorite jump is HIS triple axel, he just makes it look easy... and the truth is that they r gay (but who cares, they r wonderful skaters), we all know that Johnny is, i mean come one... and Rudy came out a long time ago, and by the way he's HIV positive... lol, feel sorry for Rudy... still they'r wonderfull, but johnny is more... johnny rocks!!

[frostdiamond1]

That's...disturbing.

[perseidsst1862]

Sorry, didn't mean to say "JUST". You all make it look so good.

[perseidsst1862]

Ehh, maybe not. I see they are just doing triples in pairs, not even quads yet in pairs.

[perseidsst1862]

Do you suppose someday in 2008, in pairs at least, there will be a (5) spin jump in pairs or ind.?

After the quad for 1, why not 5 for 1 or at least in pairs with lift takeoff help?

[dgross563]

go johnny!!!!!!!!that was awaesome

[soapygirl83]

Wow if they remade blades of glory with those two, the camp factor would be absurd.

[shmoofoobean44]

same sex pairs would be awesome, but they'd have to make two whole divisions, bc wemon couldn't compete with men. the whole quad thing would make it unfair.

[rockomoto]

they should TOTALLY be a pair. I agree,they should allow same-sex pair skating.

[Arinozian]

lol, that was great. Landed right on the music too

[espinaca79]

THAT WAS AWSOME! I think that's the next step: competitive same sex couples. I'm eager to seeing that!

[frostdiamond1]

Let's hope not.

[venusfan]

that was awesome

[Sohaila95]

BLADE OF GLORY! HAHAHAHA! Hey how is Rudy? Isn't he sick? :(

[synchroboy]

is anyone else thinking that us soooooo much better than inoue and baldwins?? i mean the height and the distance is incredible!!! Just shows you what incredible skaters pairs girls have to be!!!

[starrz2nite]

its only better b/c Johnny has a textbook triple axel i mean johnny makes his triple axel in competition look just like that minus Rudy...

[ImaginaryWhisper]

That's freaking incredible!!!

[yodabeesh]

The great thing about this throw is that they are both left handed skaters :)

[Menelorn]

Oh my GOD! That is so amazing and... just... AWESOME! Is there any rule that would prohibit them from becoming competitive pairs partners?... 'cause they would be amazing together with skills like that. I'm sure with practice, Rudy could do some lifts with someone like Johnny. The thought is captivating! If the poster reads this, when and where was this taken? Just curious. ^_^

What an inspiring trick! Definitely a clip I'll share with my friends.

~Kris

[indicatoto101]

It surprises me that figure skating fans (of all people) seem to be uncomfortable with same sex contact.

[AlessaAnna]

some people have quite an issue with other peoples' sexuality...THAT is what freaks me out.These two guys just did a marvelous element and all you have to say is that they're gay?I wonder if i should mark that as spam?'cause it's getting pretty annoying...

[sinazapple]

I always mark those kinds of comments as spam.

[singerm20]

mmmk. so actually, johnny weir's name...is johnny weir. i'm Totally tired of the "johnny quueer" thing. grow up.

and he's most definetly the most amazing skater ever.

that was a gorgeous throw triple axel. watch him skate sometime.

[kadocash]

OMG!!!!...AMAZING...BOTH !

[tripleaxel96]

I think these two should take the bold move and consider pairing up, develop a short and long program and compete at the next Gay Games / Out Games. That would make a lot of people "proud"...

[BettaFishy]

Johnny Weir is amazing. Now ... can he land the triple axle WITHOUT the throw??

I love him.

[caelicola86]

Oh yeah, he can.

Actually, when clean, his triple axel is the most beautiful in the whole figure skating world. Currently.

And yes, I'm a little biased. ...Quite a lot, to be honest.

[grifffinity]

ITA - IMO, Johnny Weir has the best basic skating technique of any man on ice today. The closest I would say is Takahashi - who is also a "skaters" skater.

The only thing standing in the way of Johnny Weir and a Gold medal...is Johnny Weir. I hope he gets his act together and stays healthy for 2010.

[starrz2nite]

i agreed johnny's triple axel with or without a triple toe attached is my favorite figure skating move of all time..it never gets old. He's the only skater who makes it effortless. He has incredible talent as he did land his first single axel only a week of lessons at age 12!!!!

[rawritsdaweed]

Actually, I use to get coached by Johnny's first coach..He landed it in less than a month not a week..So get your stuff right before you print it out on the internet.

[MichelleKwanForever]

cool! :)

[wispochka]

Wow!!! That's true "Blades of Glory" :)))

[slater4cc]

I love watching this!

[slater4cc]

I love watching this!

[kurtyslover16]

hahaha!! the homoerotics!! (c'mon, I mean Johnny and Rudy? how can there not be something going on?)

[tinymavy]

this is wierd. it looks so easy

[Pikachuusb]

This is fantastic!!! They need to do a whole program together :)

[AlessaAnna]

it's better than blades of glory... this has no special effects :))) and you know..galindo and johnny, it's way to much :)))

[brinababy87]

lol, next... the iron lotus!

[mkscfan]

if anyone cuts off johnny's head or Rudy's they will be hearing from my chainsaw. Lol

[AlessaAnna]

that's so hilarious!ROFL!really, i guess there'll be 2 chainsaws actually, pretty much like the Texas chainsaw massacre :)))

[chyeahhhhhh]

wow.

lol but why them? .... its like ... blades of glory. but not really.

[LadyElaineFairchilde]

I love it!!!

[Amane318]

wow that is awesome

[brinababy87]

way to go guys!

[coolluga]

lol!! cool

[alainek]

This made my day! Thanks so much for posting this!

[Knitcole]

Where on earth did you find this video? Did you get to watch a practice session or something??? It's so awesome!

[esporamor]

If I recall correctly this comes from Johnny's Myspace. He said Dan Hollander was taping them when they were practicing the jump.

[grifffinity]

This is amazing...but WHY is Johnny practicing THIS?

[awartha]

He and Rudy do it during the COI finale.
