What is your age and skating level (please list wether ISI or USFS as well please) Also what age did you start skating?

I'm 49, USFSA Adult Silver level, started at age 37. My daughter is 17, USFSA Senior level, started at age 5. We've also both started dance testing - I have 2 Preliminary dances, and she has her Bronze test plus 2 Pre-Silvers.

I am 25 and I began skating when I was 24. I am currently about a Freestyle 1-2 (though I stopped testing after Basic 8) and am hoping to Pass my Pre Bronze MITF at the end of the summer.

I'm 16, I started skating when I was 15 and I'm in ISI FS 4. If I ever get my boot problem fixed I'll start working on my axel and double sal and toe again.

started skating when I was 13, in January 2007. I turned 14 in April.
now I am SkateUK Gold (not sure, but I think this is about USFS 3 or 4, as I can do some of the elements in USFS 4, but not all in 3) but also working on the loop and flip which are above my level.

I'm 24 started skating at age 23. I am ISI FS 5. I just recently became of member of USFSA so I haven't tested under their system. If all goes well, I will be Adult Gold level to compete at Nats in '08. I'm so excited I can barely contain myself. I'm going to meet so many different skaters. Skating has isolated me somewhat so I am looking forward to meeting new people.

Currently, I'm 28 and am USFSA Adult Bronze and ISI FS 4.

I am 43, I started skating at 7 years old (group lessons only, then quit after a year). Started skating again at 28. Now I am ISI FS 5 and USFSA Adult Silver!

I'm 40, started skating around when I turned 36. I'm working towards eventually testing USFSA Adult Pre-Bronze. Never skated as a child - and I SO wish I did!

I'm 16, started at 15, and my coach says I'm around USFSA FS 2. My new skates come in 3 weekss so I will finally be able to start working on the flip and lutz.

I'm 41, started skating at 41 although had previously been a few times and could skate forwards quite comfortably. Have passed Skate UK Levels 1-10 but not very confidently!

40yr Guy Started at 37. Silver MIF and Freestyle passed in Jan '07. I have competed in two Nats at two different levels. The first was very successful, the second a complete disaster! Concentrating on Gold MIF now and a new Free Program. Keeping the Music under wraps.......well my close friends may know!
