My Surprise Musical Wedding Proposal at the Mayfair
Переглядів 3 тис.14 років тому
THE PREMISE: Krystle & I both love film, and she really loves musicals in particular. So I managed to get the permission of one of our favourite old theatres in town - the Mayfair (thanks Lee!!)- to put on a little surprise song & dance number ("That's How You Know") from the musical "Enchanted" which we had watched together after which I would propose. THE CRAZY PROLOGUE: The plan was to have ...

Randomly found this after sifting thru all your endeavors and sites and thought this was just beautiful. Did the church move? Keep up the great work, bro.

beautiful
The should also have super slow motion of his swimming.
looks so majestic
I don't see his wrist flex after his hand enters water... and so he has a large "paddle"... all the way from his elbow to end of fingertips. I love how he glides into a position where he then folds his HighElbow. awesome.
Why does he, sometimes, stop kicking? Is it inefficient to constantly kick?
+kimidam It's not "inefficient" per say, but it saves energy by gliding.
Looks like he's doing a 4 beat kick. For other long distance swims 2 kick beats are used, depending on distance. He's just kicking enough to keep posture in correct form
Reach forward with your alternate arm whilst pushing with the other two-thirds of the stroke. Your forward arm must reach as far as possible then catch in a continuous motion. Leverage your push moment as you're reaching for the next pull. Sounds easy but practicing drills in reach, the catch and feeling the water pressure help a lot.
Good to see your back man, long time subscriber, keep it up
compliments. You try to remake a bit, a masterpiece like the eclipse. It's not easy you know. What's inside the Antonioni's films tell the inability to communicate, the difficulty of living the modern landscape and the biggest of them all: men and women are different and probably not be able to communicate with each. great job anyway
Awesome evf! Sun Yang does it EXACTLY the same, thanks to Dennis Cotterell(Hacketts' coach). The world record still belongs to Australia, since Yangster trained there with Dennis and his club. Sun, upon your next visit, please deposit one gold medal for entry visa. Sorry, went off topic there.
figbat, are you really confused about the 'vilification' of someone who went on a drunk rampage, destroying (and he admitted targeting) the most precious possessions of a person half his size? You really don't see what was wrong with that picture? In a 'fit of temper' you do not systematically and selectively destroy like he did. For fuck's sake, have you seen the door? what about the piano tossing? And his kids were home. seriously. Sorry, but no medal or swimming technique makes that ok.
can't we stick to his stroke technique ? many bad things go on behind closed doors and we don't hear about them because not newsworthy
What are you talking about?
he never hurt his family and the trashing wasnt done in front of his kids....im sorry i just dont get it.....maybe its me.
hours and hours in the pool since a young boy training for the olympics....i'd like to know how much money she has contributed to the purchase of their assets......now she lives in the apartment with the furniture as always happens after a split-up. you got to feel sorry for people like grant in this type of situation....everything he has worked and trained for over the years was slipping away. and he had to sell his ferrari. am i totally out of line here? i dont know.....does anybody disagree?
am i the only one who thinks the villification of grant is going way over the top. am i misssing something? he trashed his apartment and for that he is sorry and yes it was the wrong thing to do.....but is he the only guy who has done this in a fit of temper. i bet you many women have done it as well. his marriage was falling apart and nobody really knows the circumstances. i bet you he bought the apartment he lives in and the furniture and everything else from the money he earned from spending
lol you can see that his right arm is dominant, perfect EVF for right and a great EVF for left too tho. XD
kicking is very tiring compared to the arm pull and contributes less than the arm pull so in long distance races like this less kicks and longer pulls
québec french!
EVF Rocks!
Hmm he swim faster than me :p
Love your anthem... greetings from Poland.
@ernesttubb In fact, what he's doing could be defined as a "4 beat kick". As you can see, sometimes he uses a classic 6 beat pattern, other times he uses 3 beats for the stroke when he breathes and one only stroke for the following stroke, when his face is underwater. So we have 3+1 beats for every cycle (2 arm strokes). It's mostly suitable for unilateral breathing and basically allows you to save some energy on long distances, keeping the same timing of the classical 6 beat kick.
Exactly. Sun Young is using 4 beat kick too, BUT he kicks 3 times, when face is underwater. Then he kicks ones on the stroke, when he is breathing. Cheers!
@jabbamom Yeah, I was alway told arms take you out, legs bring you home.
I am new to learning the two-beat kick. Hackett's technique seems so strange to me - it's like he's mixing two beat kick and six-beat kick alternately. Perhaps someone more experienced than me could explain?
@humby123 yes. It allows a swimmer to favor their strong arm. In this case, the strong arm is his left.
@chinesep1mp If you think about the largest oxygen-using muscles in the body, the legs are close to the top of the list. Like @jabbamom said, "very little propulsion for the amount of energy it uses up." Kicking is necessary to 'get on top' of your stroke, but over kicking leads to oxygen deprivation. It's a good question.
This is beautiful to watch.
No need for jabs on comment. Feet move slower for long distance I think to conserve energy. The idea of 80% stretch is maybe little high but NOT rubbish...gliding to get maximum stroke length without losing too much speed is very true long distance.
@Trevorthekid I teach swimming . For more advance swimmers but naturally we all do it without realising or should do it there is an elongated s shape . So there is entry hand goes into water at a certain angle , Catch , pull and recovery during the pull ( which comes into the center of the body ) the hand gets ready to go into the recovery ( elbow bending to come out of the water then stretch ) in between that transition the hand slides down in an "s " like shape down the side of the body .
does he come up for a breath EVERY time he uses his right arm?
@MultiMarty25 So... you're saying he should only ask aquestion if he already knows the answer? Otherwise don't ask & thus never learn anything - like you?? doofus!
@chinesep1mp if you were a long distance swimmer you would know why there feet is movin slow,ofviously you are not so why bother askin?
what route did you take to get to ottawa?
Highway 7
@@daniyil4843 It appears you're riding on Hwy 15 as you make your approach to Smiths Falls.
umm. english please.
Go Chandra, good luck in Oslo
@jabbamom I'm a fan of long distance swimming and you're absolutely right. :) This is a beautiful video. It's not only great to swim but to watch other people do it. One can always learn something especially when watching pros. :P
Hackett is LEGEND!!
nice technique, i see the energy conservation, he breathes alot and uses more upper body and lower leg power which is probly more streamlined
@jabbamom yep the legs must be straight..
Canada is a great place! ^-^ we don't judge anyone by what race they are, or what they look like. :) If anybody judges, they are not true Candians, or they just have issues.lol I don't mean to start anything, but it still makes me mad that some people think Canada has winter all year round..... :( well we're not.
@gnarkillkicksass Not bad at all. But the idea it's 80% stretching is utter rubbish. Reaching out as far as possible in front of you is also up for debate....
@andrewwebber66 "Utter rubbish"? He is a triple Olympic Gold medalist (plus 3 silvers and 2 bronze), and was world champion in 17 events. Not bad for a rubbish swimmer.
i have a question. how come when do the front crawl kick, my feet are pointed inwards for some reason and so i'm going REALLY slow when i just do the front crawl kicks. is there any way to fix that because i think my feet should be straight when i'm kicking. (i've been swimming for a few years now. i've learned with a few bullshit teachers therefore wasting some time. but i'm pretty good at it. i'm done all the levels, and i can be a lifeguard but i'm only 14 right now.
@SwiftyPro these days swimmers like grant hackett and other long distance swimmers have developed this breathing pattern in order to gain more oxygen. you should notice the arms are not moving at even speeds and the stroke looks slightly uneven in the water. it is very difficult to master this while maintaining good balence and streamline. i reccomend you only try it if you are already very confident breathing bilaterally and dont try it in a race until you are sure you have the hang of it.
@jewbinson you should bend so your elbow stays high, quite close to the surface as your forearm pulls below it
@nodgie1 This is utter rubbish.
is it better to keep your arm perfectly straight the whole way in the water or bend so that it is perpendicular the the ground the whole time?
dUdE i just noticed he switches from 4 to 6 beat when going into walls/on his last laps. thats sick.
O CANADA WE STAND ON GAURD FOR THEE, GOD BLESS THEE,
