[Stormy]

My favorite competition ever. :) If anyone needs someone for a Gold team event, I'm game!

[Raye]

Has it been a year already??? Time sure flies!

Unfortunately, I won't be at this year's Peach. I have a neice getting married on that weekend. Next year.....

[sexyskates]

I'm starting to gather our gold/silver team together and we are always looking for an axel. How's your axel, Stormy?

[Terri C]

I'll be sitting out this one this year, but will go to Halloween Classic and hopefully will make Peach next year.

[Stormy]

Ummm...unfortunately, the axel is the one maneuver I can't contribute, right now at least. Hopefully come September it will be better! :??

[sexyskates]

How is your layback?

[Stormy]

It's good. Not wonderful, and no beillmans! :lol: But good enough to do it in the team event. You know who has a really good layback is skatingatty. She did a team event last year at Peach.

[sexyskates]

Would you like to be on our team and do the layback?

[Joan]

Are there any silver or bronze teams forming? I am bronze, but I can do a lutz.

[TimDavidSkate]

I'm thinking on doing a last minute, bc I cant stand all this waiting until the fall to compete. I may try to do a team competition, how do I go about joining one? :halo:

[sexyskates]

TimDavid, would you like to do an axel for our team? We are mostly a NY team but it doesn't really matter where you are from.

[Stormy]

I'll do the layback! :)

[manleywoman]

Are they using the NJS?

[rlichtefeld]

We are using the 6.0 system for all events this year.

On the announcement, it is on the bottom right of the first page.

[sexyskates]

Hi Stormy!
We would love to have you and your lovely layback on our team! Check your private messages for more details.

[sexyskates]

Our gold manuever team is still on the lookout for an axel! If there is anyone out there going to this competition who would like to join us and do an axel, we would love to have you!

[skaternum]

<sniff> This will be the first time in YEARS that I've missed Peach. Somebody do a shot in my honor. :halo:

[WhisperSung]

Could someone explain what the team event entails? Is it based on test level?

I won't be able to go to the Peach Classic this year, but if I get into a law school in Atlanta (hint, hint GA State or Emory :halo:), I want to do this next year. I'd be happy to contribute a double salchow, hydroplane, and/or cartwheel 8-)

[taffy12]

Hey, I'm new to this board and wasn't expecting to find anything local...this event takes place in Atlanta? Is it, perchance, at the Duluth ice forum?rlichtefeld, I was shocked to see your hometown because I'm also from Lawrenceville! Small world!

[rlichtefeld]

Yep, the Peach Open and the Peach Classic both take place over Labor Day weekend at the Duluth IceForum. The Peach Open is a youth competition, and the Peach Classic is an all adult competition. The Open takes place Friday and very early Saturday. The Classic takes place all day Saturday and most of Sunday.

What level are you skating? Taking group classes or private? You can email me directly at rlichtefeld@yahoo.com

Hi Rob -- Will there be a test session in conjunction with the competition(s)?

[rlichtefeld]

Yes. If you are interested, contact our Test Chairperson - Ginger:

[jenlyon60]

I'm interested from a potential trial judging perspective rather than a "testing victim" perspective.

[Stormy]

I just realized that the deadline was coming up!! 8O Better get my act in gear and send the forms in.

Who else is going!?

[LoopLoop]

Who else is going!?
Me! Silver 3 FS, possibly pairs, and I'm considering gold spins. I'd definitely do it if it was just gold, but gold/masters? 8O Yikes.

[mskater]

...I've waited up until the final few moments to send in my application but it's now a done deal:] I've entered my freestyle event only - wish I could do the team event!

Skaternum, what's your shot of choice?

[NoVa Sk8r]

Me! Silver 3 FS, possibly pairs, and I'm considering gold spins. I'd definitely do it if it was just gold, but gold/masters? 8O Yikes.Um, does this mean that I have to sign up, too?! 8O ;)

[LoopLoop]

Um, does this mean that I have to sign up, too?! 8O ;)
Speaking of that, PM me with your USFSA number... I think I lost it.

[jenlyon60]

Masters Interp (since I passed my Tango).

[skaternum]

...I've waited up until the final few moments to send in my applicationI'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you! :lol:
Skaternum, what's your shot of choice?
Mmm. How about raspberry-flavored vodka? Yummy!

[mskater]

I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you! :lol:

Mmm. How about raspberry-flavored vodka? Yummy!

LOL:] It's much more dramatic waiting until the deadline...

Ok, rasberry-vodka it is - and a lemon drop shot for good measure:] Hope you are back to 100% soon!

[Beccapoo2003]

The nips are comin'....the nips are comin'.....do do do do do do.....(jaws music)

[mskater]

Ah, I want one! I'm the tall skinny guy:]
