Break The Ice with Adam Rippon | Gus Kenworthy

Gus on skates! My 2018 Olympic teammate & friend, Gus Kenworthy, hits the ice with me to talk if he's going back to another Olympic Games, why he's biking 500 miles from San Francisco to Los Angeles this year, and American Horror Story. #BreakTheIce

Gus is such a natural athlete. And gorgeous. And a lovely human being!!!

[@my_names_bri5425]

He straight out just did a loop after being on the ice for like 3 seconds Update: HE JUST DID A FREAKING AXEL

[@hellobhowareyou9450]

Ikr😂😭

[@johniii8147]

BRILLIANT BRIANNA I’m sure there was practice before

[@abigailbasilio475]

i'm freaking jealous. Been skating for a few months and still can't do backwards crossovers lol

[@uditabhattacharya2824]

When was the axel?!

“Did u always know you were going to switch Olympic sports?” Lovvve that

[@anomalily]

I’ve heard that figure skaters can pick up skiing fast i never knew the reverse was true!

[@Priscilla21342]

Yes, that's true. Although I started skiing first, I didn't learn any slope jumps until I was 12 years (ish). That's when I actually started to do like all single jumps for figure skating. By the time I was 17, I self-taught myself how to do like cork 9's on skis and 540 on half-pipes with snowboard.

[@anomalily]

Bag of Goodness despite being a high-level figure skater back in the day (senior MIF/triple jumps) I have always been scared to go skiing since it seems so ripe for injury. (Skating is dangerous but it is a dangerous I know.) But I live like 40 minutes from year round snow on Mt Hood.

[@nouribrahim2010]

That’s true. I’m a figure skater. On my first day at the slopes, somehow I found myself skiing down reds. My friends didn’t believe that I’ve never skied before. Likewise, I’m blown away by Guss’ skating skills; it took me forever to learn the single loop first when I started skating

[@Priscilla21342]

@@@anomalily Yea, I'm still struggling with my doubles right now in skating, but I only like practice my slope style skiing when winter comes around. I didn't think skiing was any different from skating and thought it was easier to me because I would like to think that snow was less impact than ice. I have more than one injury from both sports, but I still think skiing is easier.

[@Gee-xb7rt]

i grew up skateboarding and surfing, its all the same kind of thing.

[@TheMrsBeagle]

Love how the two sports translate!! He obviously knows his body, knows how to land on a slippery surface, understands the physics of a jump. This is awesome.

[@PrincesaLunez]

omg yass I love when moments like this happen!!! I constantly watch videos of like dancers try other forms of dancing (like hip hop to lyrical) or contortionists try aerial silks or gymnastics and it's soooo satisfying and cool to see how the art forms correlate!

[@MS-pi4um]

Yeah! the mechanics of skiing are the same as ice skating. its just that the your body leans a lot more forward when skiing to compensate for the additional length of the ski. I was a ski instructor for 7 years and it was always easy to tell when someone had skating experience because they would pick it up so quickly.

Same here XD

[@annomaly751]

Melissa G how did your exam go?

[@annomaly751]

Rebecca how’d you end up doing on the exam?

[@WishfulJirachi]

Omg Adam’s transition to catwalk at 8:22 is one of the smoothest and sexiest things I’ve ever seen

[@renunit1503]

Gus just casually doing an axel his first time on skates....i feel very attacked rn...kidding but I hope he continues skating so we can get an update. Maybe a ice show as a season finale??

[@TheCasimir94]

Its not his first time on the ice 😂

[@renunit1503]

Definitely not his first time on the ice...but I'm only guessing first time on figure skates haha

[@anomalily]

This is the best part of my Wednesdays.

[@SlendysWatchingMe]

I knew from my own experience learning to skate that some skiing skills were transferable but holy fuck how has Gus not been doing this for at least several MONTHS, he's SO GOOD for someone who only just even got figure skates

[@tigergreg8]

I like how Adam seemed so nice and casual in this interview. Honestly, I think he may have a future doing interviews because he seems to have the affect of making a person feel comfortable. Broadcasting and interviewing can def be in his future.

[@teun442]

Now I wanna see Adam ski 😂 quick switch triple rodeo 14 and a nosebutter 4 on continuing 6 out should do the deal... right?

[@heyitshana7248]

Teun / iAtlass I’m so confused as of to what you just said😂😂

[@teun442]

Heyits Hana quick explanation: first trick: take of backwards, do 3 sideway kinda flips and 1440 degrees of spins. The second trick is a rail trick: start rotation and do a 270 degrees rotation and a 270 degrees onto a rail, grind it and then do a 630 degrees rotation off the rail continuing the way you took off. Yes, that’s difficult, no, I can’t do that.. Gus can!

[@black_widow.81]

Love them together best Bromance ever

[@nhn26152615]

I beg of you Adam Rippon.... please make these videos longer....it feels like coitus interruptus. You’re so good at this that it could be twice as long, and people would still be glued to the screen. Kisses from Denmark.

[@Princess0fAwkward]

6:30 did we just watch gus do an axel? wowwww

[@Andyyu24]

But he did land on two feet 😉

[@blueskyfox99]

Why aren’t there male pairs (and female) in figure skating? I think the dynamics would be fascinating to watch.

[@jessbenefield6349]

You mean blades of glory?

[@galev3955]

Probably the same reason why there are no (or very few) men in synchronized swimming. That is to say: bullshit.

[@randomchick1234]

I looked it up once, there's no ISU rules against it, and the wording is like "smaller partner" etc. I can see it happening in ice dance before pair skating first though. Or maybe before that, a woman being partnered with a man smaller than her and lifting him

[@galev3955]

@@randomchick1234 I am not sure on the topic, I just recall watching some documentary (or maybe reading in the news?) that there was still some sort of pushback against men participating in certain "feminine" sports.

[@isabellekh8112]

@@randomchick1234 Sinead Kerr and John Kerr (ice dancers) sometimes do lifts where Sinead lifts her brother, for example in their 2010 Olympics free skate. She isn't taller than him though, they're about the same height.

[@jilll1287]

This. Was. Everything! Donating to Gus’s ride! 🚲

i need adam to be the next david attenborough. all i can think about is adam commenting on ostrich egg-stealing habits.

[@calebjackson5394]

This episode was soooo FREAKING GOOD!!! Love what you’re doing Adam 💖

MORE COLLABS WITH GUS!!!! This was the content I’d been waiting for 😍

[@ariannaandjordan]

Hi Adam! I met you at Stars on Ice in Anaheim this past Sunday and I just wanted to thank you for being so kind and taking the time to take a picture with me and my sister. You're absolutely incredible and I'm so happy that I got to meet you!

[@mr.jceniza]

You two are so adorable! And Gus... you are such an inspiration!

[@sheikahchic]

I now expect Gus to compete in skiing AND figure skating, at the next Winter Olympics.

[@AmandaaRose]

I LOVE THEM TOGETHER OMG The cutest friendship I've seen in years

[@bobbymcgovern]

This was an amazing episode! Gus makes my heart sing, not just because of his looks but for that huge heart of his.

[@evieromano3312]

I dont think I've ever clicked faster

[@deannah.3643]

Yeah!!! Was waiting for this one! The Bromance continues...and loved Gus’ pose at the end! Great job Adam, these are perfect!

[@Katfancy40]

My gosh is Gus amazing at everything! Adam is cute gently helping but knowing Gus can so kick ass at pretty much anything he puts his mind to.

[@eustacia03]

"I'm dizzy" dude, you do twisting flips on skis!

[@dianesawyerdooley4424]

He's looking at his feet though. Keep your head up and don't try to spot and you get much less dizzy.

[@2friendsdiet39]

My two favorite Olympians! Gus is a natural!

[@jesusp.pelayo8482]

Best eleven minutes of my life. Thanks to the universe for making this couple possible.

[@tk5gum]

This is such a beautiful concept. I remember public skating with friends always ended up being the best catch up or gossip session. I love every second of this!

[@maryg.1014]

omg. I really needed this today. Love Adam's laughter and seeing these two handsome and gifted men having fun.

[@alinapralina4324]

you two have such a great dynamic and chemistry, it is honestly so beautiful to watch!

[@MrEllybug]

This needed to be longer! I love you both, Gus needs to be a regular for sure!

This was magical! 😂 Gus is a literal pro. He was made for skating!! Best Break the ice so far.

[@jamarjobs]

Why have I not been watching this? I love this so much, and I can’t even tell you why.

Love that Gus was so naturally good and you challenged him and he was teachable. Love love this part of your channel

I love you Adam Rippon!!! You are always welcome to guide me on ice

[@SMY552]

Gus is amazing on the ice! And what a sweetheart!

[@christybirling3299]

Adam, not only are you a fantastic figure skater but you are a genius for coming up with this theme of doing vlogs. I love them! Watching two people skating around the ice and having a conversation and I'm totally engrossed. Who woulda thunk it??

[@misdesixtysix8255]

Really happy to see Gus on here. He is my all time fav Olympic skier. You both have a great friendship. Thanks for this

[@annalog002]

I have just started to learn to do crossovers, and they are hard to do. Gus is a great skater, and Adam and Gus are amazing men who inspire me to keep going. I'm loving this channel!

[@novascotiaskater1868]

These two are so fun together

[@TheSeiyoung]

The energy between these guys is awesome. Love this episode.

[@laurievuitton1624]

Awesome~I've coached for over 25 years & I've not seen someone pick up so quickly (especially an adult) like Gus did. Mind you, he's an elite Olympic athlete so I should not be surprised but this was so fun to watch. Loved this!

[@amyprimeaux9599]

Gus is awesome. But I recall from the Nightline piece he and Adam did together during the Stars on Ice tour last year that Gus played some hockey as a kid. So he's not a total newbie. Still impressive though.

[@laurievuitton1624]

@@amyprimeaux9599 Since hockey blades & figure skating blades are entirely different, yes, for sure!

[@MaryWehmeier]

Adam dear... That with Gus was your best show to date. Gus is a natural athlete-- so talented. He's got potential. Keep him coming back for lessons and to update us on what he's doing. We also think Gus should see if YOU can learn to ski. We'll be making a donation to Gus' ride. xoxo Excellent show!

their little banters are so cute!! they have like an adorable brothers relationship lol

Why are these two gorgeous men so inspiring? 😭

He. Got. Jackson Ultimas. For his first skates. Also, yeah, he's an amazing person. Thank you for highlighting him. Skating-wise....I desperately want to be jealous at how fast he picked things up, but I can't be, because he put in the balance and strengthening work, just in a different medium. Still, that was an effing impressive first day.

He doesn't skate an he can do A FREAKING AXEL??? I've been skating for five years and I still can't land my axel :'(

[@bone9jdjkaye]

Minhanh Do chill, he’s an Olympic skier.

[@mcalmvp2]

To be fair, Gus didn't land his axel either

[@nikorucupcake2499]

Dang I felt that. I’ve been working on axels off ice and drills on ice for a year and I’m still under rotated 😂 But we’ll just need to keep consistently working on it and one day, we’ll be able to land our axels too :)

[@bone9jdjkaye]

Nikoru Cupcake I was on the verge of quitting before I landed mine. Was planning on giving notice 3 days time, then I landed it :). Lucky, as skating is my passion now more than ever.
