Good grief...... the passing tests thing is in the air.
Remember those vibes need to go West for Jazzpants, then back east for me!!

[lovepairs]

Thanks Terri and Cecea! Yes, let's keep passing those good vibes around! I'm going to take about a two week breather then get started on Novice Moves, but the next test up is the Intermediate Pairs test for Pairsman2 and me!

Thanks, again, I really enjoyed skating that test this morning, and, especially since it was in beautiful Lake Placid--very special! :P

Wow, that's awesome! Congratulations!
I would like details, when you get the chance. I have passed my Gold MIF but haven't taken Intermediate yet. I'd be interested in knowing how you felt the judging was compared to the Gold test. :)

(And yes, it IS a huge accomplishment! I know of one skater who is still working on it.... ummm...it'll be a while before he passes them...) :frus:

[lovepairs]

Wow, thank you everyone. And a BIG CONGRATS to everyone else who has passed a test, recently, too!

Doubletoe,

Here is how the Intermediate differs from the Adult Gold Moves:

For the most part, it is the same moves on each test with the exception of one (I think--they changed the Gold, recently.) However, when you are skating them in Intermediate, they want to see SPEED, POWER, and CONFIDENCE!

The first three times I failed, I skated them well enough, but like a deer in headlights. This time I went out with more speed and power, and I skated them like I OWNED the test. I even flashed a few smiles at the judges as I went by, and as usually they gave me "meanie" looks back, but I kept smiling, and looking at them with a very specific look, which was "I dare you to fail me!!!"

Some other skaters told me that by the time you test Novice Moves that they want you to almost skate it with an air of arrogance. :o

[doubletoe]

Thanks, that's very helpful!
And congratulations again!

[AW1]

congrats!!!!!

[Careygram]

Hey girly,
Another congrats to you, you deserved it. We never did have that drink or that hamburger. Next year!
Love Careygram

[miraclegro]

Congratulations to you! I'm sure you feel like you climbed the mountain!

I have a few questions: I'm beginning to work on my Intermediate MIF and would like to know what they are the hardest on, or what i need to work work work on.

Any tips, since obviously, it was a milestone, would be appreciated!

[Mercedeslove]

congrats! Way to go! :-D

[Figureskates]

Way to go, Andrea!:bow: :bow: :bow:

From all the input I have gotten so far, all the adults at Lake Placid passed their tests.

Also all three people who tested figures on Monday passed as well.

[lovepairs]

Thank you FigureSkates, and a huge congrats to you, too! :bow:

You laid out some awesome "eights" in the Lussie Rink! Big accomplishment!

It was so nice to meet you up in Lake Placid!!! Can't wait to see you, again, next summer when you will be working on your First Figure test, which is a big deal: Forward Inside Eight, Forward Outside Eight, Back Outside Eight and those very cool Serpentines!

[PattyP]

Congratulations!

How old are you?

[Isk8NYC]

How old are you?Never ask a lady her age, silly!

Congratulations!

[WannabeS8r]

Never ask a lady her age, silly!

Congratulations!


Haha even out of pure innocent curiocity? :frus:

Wahhhhh..

[LoopLoop]

Congrats, lovepairs! It's a big achievement and I hope you celebrated appropriately. :)

[lovepairs]

Thanks, LoopLoop and everyone else.

No problem: I'm 49 years old

Merced,

The want speed, power, and confidence. If you have these three things and put a foot down, they don't care. But if you skate cautiously, and never put a foot down, they will fail you everytime. At least, that has been my experience. Good luck with your Int. Moves. I'm very anxious now to begin Novice Moves.

A BIG CONGRATS TO CAREYGRAM, BECAUSE SHE PASSED HER INTERMEDIATE MOVES THE FIRST TIME AROUND...I WITNESSED IT! WEEEE WHOOOO :P

[Figureskates]

Lovepairs,

Of course I can't forget the almost boo boo of stepping out on the ice with my guards on...that would have been exciting plus what an impression THAT would have made on the judges!:o

The only two times I have ever stepped out on the ice with my guards on has been at that rink!

And for the record, I'm 60!

[lovepairs]

Figureskates,

You don't know this, but I was standing behind the window saying to your friend "Now, Jack...take your guards off." And then you went to step on the ice with your guards on and your friend and I started screaming through the glass. It was a scene out of THE GRADUATE!!! LOL!!! You were so distracted, but you caught yourself just in the knick of time! :P

[Figureskates]

Lovepairs,

Ann, that was my friend you were talking to, told me all about it after the test. We went to the Lake Placid Brewpub to celebrate afterwards and she told me the story.

The other people in the hallway must of thought you two were daft!:lol:

[lovepairs]

LOL!!! :P

I'm already home sick for Lake Placid...:cry:
