Glad I could help!

I've SEEN Annabel skate - she was in my Interp category at Mountain Cup last year - and can vouch for the fact that ANNABEL, YOU ARE NOT PRETTY AWFUL In fact, I thought you did quite well and looded PRETTY GOOD

(sorry for yelling, but it's true)

Annabel, I have never heard such RUBBISH in my life!!! I think you're a pretty decent skater based on what I've read on the lesson/practice thread. AND...I trust Raye's observations...

Oh, come on, Raye, you outskated me by a mile! And probably will again this year. I'm far too slow, too hunched (nature, alas), and not enough kneebend.... okay, with Husband we can pass with a shove on a good day, but solo? Nah..... I can caper.

Next week, if we remember, I'll get Husband to video me doing my new Interp, and post it.... mind you, do I really want you to get a sneak preview????
