WALTZ JUMP Figure Skating Over Age 60 : Freestyle Session

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.

It has now been 8 years since I got back on the ice. I have not competed since 2016 , but my blog is still going. My YouTube channel has over 1600 subscribers. That’s just crazy!

Freestyle Session - Spins

I told myself there were too many on the ice to do any real practice … but I did try all my jumps today. The Lutz eluded me, but I did attempt it. I seriously lack confidence. My friend Heather was at the rink tonight… looking beautiful as always and helping me try to bow (end of program, thank you to the judges and the audience) I am terrible at them!
