LOL, yes, unfortunately I wasn't allowed to fit the whole thing in She is second only to 'Madame' coach with her sayings!

She has wanted to be an interior or fashion designer since the age of about 4 and said to me the other day "next year we get 3 weeks Trident (where they get to work somewhere for 3 weeks to see if they like it) I have decided that I'm writing to Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen (famous UK interior designer) to see if I can be his assistant" ..... I wish that I was as focussed as she is!

I didn't post on FSW much either, but I lurked and I met a number
of Rinksiders last year at Lake Placid. I'm glad this board is here and I do hope everyone makes their way here.

--checking in-- I was Viv at fsw, now I'm Gia. Good to see everyone.

oh good!! rinkside has just changed location. I can still comiserate and get moral support from everyone. Phew!!
Liz or( joeyspal)

Although I tended to lurk rather than post, I wanted to say hello to everyone. I was icesk8er31 at FSWorld, am icesk8er31 at the new Rinkside site at Free Skate World, and, well, am icesk8er 31 here, too. Hope all is well with everyone and that you're slowly recovering your equilibrium from the lovely suprise we all got yesterday. It may take me a few more days to talk about iskater.com without venom. The change over was the talk of the ice this morning. We've all decided Paul must be daft.

Cheers!

lizzz!! I didn't know you were joeyspal!! Names are so confusing! :? :? :?

Hey, Rinksiders!!!

It's 'jramberg.' Yes, I have changed my handle! It's time for a change! Jazz pants is what I prefer to wear to skate (instead of skating dresses and skirts... too drafty for me!!!)

Glad to see everyone here too!!! iskater.com who???

Cheers,
Joanna (aka jazzpants aka jramberg)

Hi everyone, good to find more rinksiders here! I don't post much but I would miss rinkside the most, out of this, why not say, cruelty that happened to FSW. It looks like we found a new old place to stay, we are not rinkless anymore

Hi, all; Annabel here - Mrs Redboots, as I have gone back to using as my log-in name. There seem to be a couple of different forums that we ex-Rinksiders have got to - not sure which one will prove to be most used. Still, once I get broadband in a couple of months, it won't matter.....

Annabel, yay! I was wondering if you'd make it over here!

It's so good to see so many of the regulars and a lot of the lurkers, too! I have a feeling that this board is going to be the main hangout spot, especially since it's Adrian's forums. It seems the majority of posters really appreciated Adrian's way of running boards, and they're all really glad to be back, so to speak. I know I am.

I just hope we don't scatter too much--it's always better to be able to draw on the experience and thoughts and ideas of many posters, not just a few.

"DBNY9" from FSW, simply "db" here. I can't believe it took me so long to find this board, but I have out of town guests and haven't been logging so much online time. I'm already registered at FSU and Free Skating World as "db" and "dbny". What a relief to have my favorite virtual skating community back! So glad to see you all again.

Glad to see so many familiar Rinkside names - I'm formerly T.O.Skater. I hadn't been posting much, but I was checking in on a regular basis. Sad to see it go, but our walking away from the fee-based structure is sure to wreak havoc over there!

Hi!! I'm new here. I never posted on fsworld but I always read it!! Then Keegan told me to come here so I did!!
I'm a skater from Ontario at the Senior Ladies level!!!
Actually just moving up to seniors!! :wink:
This place seems great!!!!

I lurked on rinkside more then I posted. But always learned alot from your tips & suggestions. So, I'm glad to see there's a spot here to hang out and discuss our favorite sport.

Hello everyone; I was a reader most of the time
but did do a few postings. Glad to have a new
board where every member is appreciated and
not just $. Very poor taste on the part of FSW.
I think I will get my fill of news and views and
all the latest information on this board. Glad
to see so many familiar names and ID's.

Hi, all! I’m another newbie (also posting on ezboard for now) who’s just started slowly getting into skating (to the small extent my somewhat flukey 39-year-old knees allow). I’d been merrily reading the Rinkside posts at FSWorld and finally got around to trying to register over the weekend, and was totally dismayed to find my new, fun place taken away! Thankfully, I was able to find TashaKat, who pointed me in the right direction(s).

Thanks for all of your very helpful FSW posts – I’m so relieved to find that I can still get my regular “fix” of helpful hints!

Hi,

Thanks for passing the info. on to me too Leslie and Elsy. I was another skater who would not PAY to visit with friends/skating peers. My skating budget is big enough without adding skating board time. Saying that, I have made two special friends visiting Rinkside, and it made me very sad at the recent turn of events. Thank goodness so many of us have found this new board. Thanks for having us! Glad to see so many skaters I know, and new ones to meet.

Thank you.
I was away for a weekend, and came back to ...
I'm here now.
flo,

I'm here thanks to Elsy2 for sending me the tip.

I'm also an FSW orphan... but what a great looking board this is! I'm sure I won't miss FSW too much with this and FSU around.

I'm a "refugee" too! I tended to lurk more than post, but I'm glad to see many familiar names here. I was Sk8Kate, then Sk8Kate2006 on FSW.

I actually signed on to FSW to make a long-neglected return to Rinkside to discover I had to pay! Forget that!

Glad to see so many names I haven't seen in a long while. I'm going to make a strict habit of posting to this Rinkside from now on.

Hi all!
Glad to see so many familiar names here - I know a lot of Rinksiders got spread around after FSW went kaput, but it's nice to see so many of you here, and also new people to meet I used this same name on FSW and I also use it on a couple of other boards. I posted on Rinkside too, for about a year. Anywayz, nice to "see" you all!
