Great job! I am an adult skater also - just passed my Bronze level testing. Now onto working on silver. Congrats on a nice program! You get really low on your sit spin- wow I can do one - but I've never gotten that low! Impressive!

@issiebusy Thanks - I am competing next week as well at nationals and hope to have a major improvement on performance and placement - I've been working hard.

Congrats on passing your bronze test - it always feel good to progress.

I just started ice skating for the first time a few weeks ago, and would love to try for levels and possibly do a competition or two. It's so great to see adults doing competitions, just for the fun of it. BTW, your spiral was GORGEOUS!

[jnskateva]

@jfluter - the sport is definitely fun and challenging at the same time, go for it! Thanks for the compliment on my spiral :-)

@jnskateva Update: I took the plunge in January, and started taking ISI classes. I absolutely love it. I passed my Pre-Alpha test in early February, and passed my Alpha/Beta test in early April. I'll be looking for a new coach this fall as mine is graduating from college. Naturally, I'm working on my Gamma/Delta moves, and those are a challenge, but I know they're well with in my reach. I know it's small beans but to me, reaching a new ISI level of skating is quite an accomplishment. :)

There wasn't that much of a cheat on your axel; wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't said something. Your sit spins are great, as are your jumps. Congratulations!

[jnskateva]

@PecanSandees23 Thanks :-). I just want to continue to improve and of course have fun!

[jnskateva]

@triciamatsuda thanks, I got it at Carrie Jones at figure skating dress dot com (no spaces)

[triciamatsuda]

@jnskateva

I saw your dress on the website. I love the ombre skirt!!! I want a dress just like that!

[triciamatsuda]

Wait... silver II???? You look less than 25!!!! How long have u been skating for? I am going to Nationals next yr, yay!!! I just skated at my first competition ever last month, nerve-wrecking! I will prob be skating at the Bronze level since I've been skating for very little time and have lil competition experience. Your layback spin has a lot of potential, keep working on it!!!!

[triciamatsuda]

OMG I LUV your dress!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­! Where did you get it??? Great sk8ing btw!!! It looks like you were nervous, TOTALLY understandable!!!!!

[comolaflor]

Nice Job! Your spiral is gorgeous!! Some advice on your axel...make sure you pull in a tiny bit higher and don't be afraid to fall. It's super close and you have more than enough height to complete the rotations.

Overall a great program :-) I've been contemplating skating in some adult competitions...are they as fun as they seem?? I've heard so much about how all the adults cheer each other on and such!

[jnskateva]

@comolaflor adult competitions are definitely very fun and supportive .. you should definitely do one! You'll be hooked (and it feels good to lose most of the nervousness)

[PecanSandees23]

@comolaflor Do an adult competition! It's fun. Hope to see you out there soon!

[charlinetje]
