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 from Vacation .. Ahhhhh Ice
2 Hours of FS practice today with Hank at Frontier Ice. I don't think either of us have been on the ice for 2 whole hours in ages.
We tried to regroup from last time. Some things worked. Others not so much. We need another lesson soon!
I think out Throw jumps are improving and our ability to skate a little closer to each other. Still a long road to go!
