Mr. Frick Doing His Trademark Spread-Eagle Cantilever
Every year, my family went to see Ice Follies, and every year, we looked forward to seeing Mr. Frick perform. We couldn't wait to see him do his trademark spread-eagle cantilever move. He just made ice skating look like fun! Did you know that Olympic bronze medalist, Debi Thomas began figure skating because of Mr. Frick?
