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!

Not As Motivated Without My Coach
30 days before test date:
Several run throughs of my program with music dubbed in afterwards.
The footwork sequence is killing me. Not giving up yet.
Good luck to you! You have a strong salchow, nice edges and I envy your sit spin as I can't get myself low enough. You're an inspiration and a very hardworking skater. I'll pass you if I were the judge ;)
Think positive thoughts, Diane! You can do this! You are a wonderful skater and will pass!!
