Didn't pass :( needed a score of 21 total to pass from at least 2 judges and I got 20.5, 20.6, and 20.7. Argh!

  • Taking mine at the next possible test session, I think I struggle most with the inside twizzles :/ but out of all the crappy inside twizzles I have seen, I have to say that your insides were very nice :)

  • @mcarnal14 Thank you!! Those twizzles caused my stomach to do flips every time. I"m so glad to be done wit that pattern. Good luck on the test!!

  • WOW, Really?! I thought you did a really great job. I'm going to be taking mine soon...I hope i do as well as you did, just pass

  • @eeowen121 Thank you! I took it the next month and passed. The video of that test is posted as well. Good luck on the test! Hope you pass!

  • Oh, I think your twizzles were fine. I am really struggling with them, though. I am hoping to test Novice MIF this summer and start competing next year. Not quite ready to compete at the masters int/nov level; still need a consistent axel (I can do it, but still a little afraid of it) and just started working on doubles again.

  • @kmerriam2002 Thank you! on the Jr MIF it's the choctaws that I'm struggling with. If I can test them this summer, I'll be lucky! I can't wait to be done with the moves.

see all

  • @kmerriam2002 Thank you for your very nice comment. The loops were my favorite and, agreed, the twizzle pattern was horrible. My stomach would do flip-flops with anxiety as I did the mohawk into the inside portion of the pattern. I'm so glad I am done with that one. Now I wrestling with the Jr. patterns. Congrats on returning to the ice!!!

  • Really enjoyed this video. I am a 46 year old adult skater (passed Int Free and 4th figure test back in 1983) and just started skating again 9 months ago (28 year hiatus LOL). I am working on the Novice MIF and find the "figure-like" moves to be pretty easy, but the twizzles are very difficult (especially the left ones). Back in my day, we NEVER had to do things in both directions; which I think is good now vs. then. The loops are quite easy for me (I had to do them as figures). Great job!

  • Where did you buy your dress for this test?? its so simple yet looks lovely

  • @amariyarbrough thanks! I was a little surprised that they didn't ask me to reskate the Rocker Choctaws. I'm testing standard track, not adult track so the lower adult passing average doesn't apply to me. I retook the test the next month and passed (I jusgt haven't had time to edit the video and post it).
