Backflip

[edit]

He used to be one of the only skaters to do the backflip. Is this noteworthy enough to mention? Rockhound (talk) 21:29, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Well I think it is, in my "totaly not an expert" opinion. It was more or less his signature and the move we (as a kid in my family) always looked forward to him doing. And doing one was pretty sure to drive the crowds wild. EllePollack (talk) 18:12, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
This is 100% note worthy, it was a career defining signature move of his. Backflip in figure skating is still synonymous with Scott Hamilton. I honestly can't recall even seeing any other skaters doing it back then.EliteArcher88 (talk) 02:30, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A few details

[edit]

In his I am Second testimony he says two things differently than this article does: That he is 5'4, not 5'2 1/2, and that his brain tumor was what inhibited his growth. 24.128.161.206 (talk) 19:23, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Semi off topic RS question

[edit]

So in the lede it mentions that Scott has written three books, but in the actual section it only lists two? Also it asks for citations to verify those claims, but when I researched it I only got non verifiable sources. Any ideas on how to proceed?EliteArcher88 (talk) 02:42, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
