On The Edge... Again

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!

Back On The Ice

The cortisone shot has helped a little and I had a great practice today.  15 minutes at the end of the public session then back 1 1/2 hrs later for a free style session for my lesson with the choreographer.

First times running these programs with overhead music.  Went pretty well considering you are dodging other skaters and coaches and can't really open up.

Too bad my skating coach wasn't there to see me NOT HAVING A MELTDOWN today!
