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!

Dress Rehearsal .. Sort Of
Decided to put on tights and a dress to run my moves today at the public session. You forget how cold a rink can be, even in summer. Always a good idea to see how it will feel on test day.
.... minus the scattering of public session skaters of course!
Looks like I erred on my comments!
