Michael Chack: Pictures & Video

Video clips

Here are some video clips of Michael skating. The movies are in .avi format. (On Unix platforms, you can view them using xanim.)

• chack4d.avi (1.3M)
  Michael does a double axel in the warmup prior to the short program at 1993 US Nationals. Note the position of the hands on the hips.

  This clip, and the others from 1993 Nationals, are from the commercial video tapes of the event; they can be purchased from R&J Video at 209-476-0124. Copyright (c) 1993, USFSA.

• chack5d.avi (3.5M)
  Spin combination from Michael's short program at 1993 US Nationals.

• chack6d.avi (3.4M)
  Michael does a triple lutz/triple toe combination in the warmup prior to the free skate at 1993 US Nationals. Note the superb technique; the lutz is entered from a true outside edge, the second jump has as much height and power as the first, and the flow and carriage of the landing are especially good.

• chack7d.avi (1.6M)
  Michael's trademark move, the "Chack toe": a triple toe loop with his hands on his hips. Also note the footwork entrance to the jump. This is from his free skate at 1993 US Nationals.

• chack8d.avi (2.2M)
  Travelling camel spin combination from the end of Michael's program at "An Evening with Champions 1995". (This clip is from the PBS broadcast.)

• michael-2.avi (4.2M)
  Michael skates in "Broadway on Ice" at the Andy Williams Theatre, May 2000. This is the opening section of his "Yankee Doodle Dandy" program.
