Gary Beacom: Skating Legend
Gary Beacom is a true original. For anyone seeking to build deep understanding and skills in figure skating, his YouTube Channel is unmatched. I first learned about him from his Beacom Blossom video, and was fascinated with how he could keep going one foot, like magic! Upon further analysis, I concluded Beacom Blossom is a true tour de force of technique, involving one of almost everything. I was privileged to have a conversation with him, in which we discuss a wide range of topics related to ice skating and dance. Enjoy!
Gary Beacom is, in my opinion, one of the most compelling figures to ever have graced the sport. He’s also one of the most talented. In art and in life, the biggest successes come to those willing to take risks, push the boundaries and break down barricades. As an “amateur” skater, professional skater, author and most recently through his skating seminars, Gary Beacom has viewed skating through the most fascinating eyes and carved out the most compelling stories on the ice. — Skate Guard Blog
