I just wanted to say a few things about the negative comments to your videos. I've posted this same comment under all of your videos since the haters have done the same thing, too. The negative comments seem to be coming from a small group of people--in fact, I say it's coming from just one person posting under different screen names. I would probably pay attention to the criticism if it were actually objective, coherent or constructive--but it's none of these things. Its only purpose is to slander you. Whoever is trying to paint you as a bad guy has done quite the opposite. He/she is full of vindictiveness and pettiness and clearly has a personal grudge against you. Whatever you've done to warrant this kind of treatment, whether you deserve it or not, is completely irrelevant and is none of my business. All that really matters is if your videos are useful and helpful or not. In my humble opinion, your videos have been a great help to me and I applaud you for that.

Advanced Spins in Ice Skating
Hello my name is Dmitri Olympiev and I teach at Pines Ice Arena in Pembroke, Florida. You can reach us on the web at www.www.pinesicearena.com. This time I will introduce you to advanced spins. Now advanced spins require more speed, so we will do a three turn, crossover, swing the shoulders, step on the spinning foot and bring everything in. Now notice at the end, I do forward stroking position called “Landing Position”. With this position, we’re finishing off all jumps and spins. Now you’re probably just saw that when I did the spin, I crossed my foot, this is my position during the spin, we use this position to make the speed faster. Once again, this is Dmitri Olympiev and I’m teaching at Pines Ice Arena in Pembroke, Florida. You can reach us on the web at www.www.pinesicearena.com. And on behalf of expertviews.com, we’d like to thank you for watching.
