The last time I skated regularly, you needed 2 pair of skates, a scribe and skated patch. Triple jumps were almost unheard of, so were Bielman spins. Twizzles were only done by ice dancers and Ronald Regan was just elected into office.
Fast Forward 32 years. Starting January 2, 2012, I am back on the ice doing something else that was unheard of .... Adult Figure Skating. We had "coffee club", which was like adult swim, but there was no opportunity for testing or competition.
Update 2021. It has now been 9 years since I began adult skating. I have not competed since 2016 , but my blog is still going. My YouTube channel has over 1.76k subscribers. That’s just crazy!

My Lesson On Video
I had a lesson today with my coach Berkley. For 15 minutes we worked on some fundamentals of my jumps and landings that are in need of correction in order for me to progress. My landings arc too much - so I need an alignment basically.
Your coach has some wonderful insights. Thanks for sharing this!
