[ Yuri is very used to social media, but the network here isn't quite like the social media back at home. That doesn't stop him from trying to use it in the same way.

He posts a picture of himself in a simple all-black outfit in front of the skating rink. ]

First day back at skating.

[ Nailed it. ]

( at the question of who he is, shiro makes a soft sound of acknowledgment. he honestly has no idea what to expect from any of this, but thinks it might wind up being a good decision. he needs to get out more, anyway, and stop sitting around his apartment. )

Stretching?

( not that he doesn't know how to or anything, he's no stranger to working out at all. but because of the question, he wonders if there's something more to it. )

What kind of stretching? I exercise and do warm-ups before going running... Like that? Or do you mean something else?

[ While in theory, Yuri can do all the impressive bits on the ice, it'll look even better if Shiro is capable of doing a trick or two. ]

Come hold the bar.

[ Placing a hand on the metal bar that runs along one wall, he stretches his leg behind him until it's perfectly horizontal while his posture regains upright. ]

This is what you're trying to get to. It's called a Grande Battement Back.
