On a personal note, I did attend the Adult Edge Workshop last year, and I really enjoyed it. This is what I liked about the workshop:
- As with most workshops, there were different levels for jumps/spins/moves. Unlike most workshops where you are assigned a level based on your test level or highest jump, you got to pick which level in each individual area you want to work on. I know people who are good jumpers but bad spinners, or vice versa, or is completely moves-in-the-field-challenged (me!). By allowing you to select your own level, you can really hone in on the skills you really need some work on.
- This was the 2nd workshop that I got a chance to work with Liz Manley, and it is a treat every time. She is a wonderful person and a great coach. I always end up wishing that we had more time with Liz because we all had so much fun that it seemed as if the session just flew by.
- I like the all-Adult format. I've been to workshops with kids, and I felt totally out of place. This was more my comfort zone, and there's always a sense of comraderie when you get adult skaters together.
- I like the one-day format. That way you don't have to worry about getting sore after the first day and not being able to do anything on the 2nd day.
This year, they've added Don Jackson to the program. I have met him before, and he seems like a nice guy. I actually saw this guy do some double jumps. I don't know his exact age, but I'm figuring that he's WAY over 60. I'm really looking forward to working with him this year.
