Ah, I was thinking you might have seen some of his jumps in person. :-)

I watched all three of the videos, though only once each. All of his spins look remarkable to me. Yes, his body lines in his camel spin are pure grace and (again, to my eye) perfect. They're much better than the skater's positions in the camel spin photos shown in the explanation I found on About.com.

I especially like how Alex can spin and spin and spin and spin, then come out of the spins and return to regular skating without wobbling or otherwise looking like he needs to regain his orientation or recover from dizziness. The main reason I'm tempted to watch all of the videos again is that I want to count the rotations on his spins.

I agree -- he's a beautiful skater! I'm glad he's an excellent teacher, too. Enjoy!
