Micheal Weiss, Figure Skater


Johnny and I talked to professional figure skater Michael Weiss this morning. He will be part of the Capital One Holiday Celebration on Ice, which will be airing on NBC 5 at 1:30 on Christmas Day.


He was the first guy to do the "Tornado," which is a backflip with a full twist.


He gave me some skating advice (considering I am a TERRIBLE ice skater). I spend most of the time on the ice - on my face!! He said to keep my knees bent with my hands out because when I fall (not if I fall, but when I fall) my hands can catch me (if you fall back, your head can catch you!! ouch!!)
