Whirl & Lednik

Hey, I was thinking about how the angles on a skate's edge decide the glide. It’s like a game of controlled motion. Maybe we could design a winter skating event where the layout gives people room to improvise but still follows a clear plan. What do you think?
Whirl
Sounds wicked—like a freestyle dance on ice, but with a map that keeps you from crashing into the rink’s walls. Let’s draft a basic course layout, then throw in surprise zones for spontaneous moves. I’ll keep the edges tight so the glide stays smooth, but I’ll leave room for the crowd to riff. Ready to spin the idea?
Lednik
Cool, let’s lay out the skeleton first. Mark the start and finish with clear lines, set the outer edges so nobody bumps into the walls, and place a few “trigger” points along the way where you can switch from a smooth glide to a quick spin or a jump. Keep those triggers spaced out enough that the skaters have time to breathe, but close enough to feel the rhythm of the map. Once the basic route is sketched, we can sprinkle in the surprise zones where the crowd can let loose. Does that line up with what you’re envisioning?
Whirl
Yeah, that’s the groove! Start and finish line clear, walls fenced, trigger spots spaced so you can catch a breath before the spin or jump, then throw in surprise zones for the crowd to blow up the ice. I’ll sketch the skeleton and we can remix it later. You want anything else added before we fire it up?
Lednik
Sounds solid. Maybe just add a couple of marking cones at the start to help the skaters gauge the speed right off the line, and a quick break‑out area after the last trigger in case anyone wants to regroup before the finale. That should keep the flow tight and the energy high. What do you think?
Whirl
Love the cone idea—keeps the rush in check, and that breakout spot is pure gold for a breath before the finale. This map is gonna feel like a living, breathing jam session. Let’s lock it in and let the skaters hit it with full energy.
Lednik
Glad you’re on board. We’ll lock the layout, set up the cones, and put the breakout in place. When the skaters hit the ice, they’ll have a clear path and a moment to reset before the final blast. Let’s get it ready.
