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!

I Have Not Vanished From The Ice

.... I have been super busy.  After our ice show - I was drained.  The pressure of co-producing a show and trying to make it successful while trying to make everyone happy was a task I am not cut out for!

Following the show we had a weekend at a car show and then a vacation in Yellowstone.  All fun but alas, no skating.  I even missed out on a local competition that some of my friends participated in.

Hopefully for the rest of June - I will be skating with more regularity.

Today I am posting 2 videos from Coffee Club.  The first is from the group lesson and the second is me ... trying to get my legs back under me.  (Notice the lack of jumping and spinning!)
