A blog about skating...from the view of an adult skater. Sometimes I'll write about my own skating journey or about my adventures on my Synchronized Skating team. Other times, I'll write about my own observations as the Ice Monitor at the Ice Rink where I skate. And still other times, I'll write about skating in general, Team USA, the Olympics, or other skating. For now, the names of the coaches and students at the Rink are pseudonymns, but if you know my rink, you'll quickly recognize who is who.

Preparing to test pre-bronze

I had a skating lesson this morning and my single Salchow, Toeloop, and waltz-toe combinations are all consistent and good. My sit spin and scratch spin are great, and my back scratch spin is coming along nicely. I've learned a program for my test date, and my moves-in-the-field items are pretty good as well. I just need to polish my backwards inside edges a bit, but even as things stand, I'll pass my pre bronze moves test. I'm very excited about that!

The Pre-Bronze test is on the USFSA Adult Track and for moves, it involves:

1. Forward Perimeter Stroking


2. Basic Consecutive Edges

3. Forward and Backward Crossovers

4. Waltz Eight

5. Forward Three-Turns


So far...everything is coming along!
