Hi Everyone,

I think that all of us had a fantastic time at the Halloween Classic... I just wish I could do it again. It was so great to see everyone again and meet new people.
Does anyone know the next competition for Adults? Last year there was a competition in Florida in January. Otherwise the only other one on the East Coast that I know of is the New Years in VA before sectionals.
I still haven't heard a confirmation that the Winter Classic in NY is not happening.

Tim

Other than Adult sectionals,http://www.centralcarolinasc.com/AES2006.aspx I don't know.

I've been told by my coach that I can enter Skate Annapolis (March 5, 2006, Annapolis, MD).

My rink is hosting an in-house comp for the first time....maybe next year we will host an open comp. Keep fingers crossed!

Hi Tim,

I like your performance at HC btw, its very entertaining

I was thinking on entering the Morris Open competition in Morristown, NJ. Hosted by the Skating Club of Morris. I think it is a week before Nationals, Im not sure of the date yet.

I heard that Winter Classic was being ditched by SCNY

Take care,

That's what I'd like to do, but there are issues involved.
Easterns are supposed to start on Friday the 17th. If my freeskate event is on Saturday or Sunday, then I could possibly do it, but then again I'm wondering if there will be any other Pre Bronze free skaters there. I'd hate to sign up and have my event cancelled.
There were no Pre Bronze skaters at New York Winter Classic last year and therein lies the concern

Terri, I agree with InsideAxel (but then, you already knew that ). Look at it this way, if you sign up for New Year's, you'll be guaranteed to have at least one comp to go to. If you sign up for Easterns/Central Carolina Classic and they don't hold your event, you'll get your money back. Actually, to estimate how many Pre-Bronze skaters there might be, maybe you could check on how many entered the Central Carolina Classic last year - if they did it one year, they're likely to do it again, whether it's combined with Easterns or not.

Is this a USFSA competition or ISI? CRC (Capital Regional Council competition - for skaters from MD/DC/VA) is usually beginning or mid-March in Bowie, MD. Unfortunately, they don't have Pre-Bronze.

Can't you skate up to bronze (stupidly, skating up a level is not allowed at the non-qualifying Easterns) at one of these comps? Or, really, you'll have passed bronze moves and bronze FS tests by then, right, so it won't be an issue?

Moves are going well and either the Skate Gods need to show up or I'll need to borrow a sitspin from you to pass the free. But thanks for the vote of confidence!

The Bay State Games are at the end of January in Massachusetts.

ISI. I'm told by my skating director that you usually enter at the level comparable to what you are (does that make sense?) I'd have to ask what pre-bronze equates to.

Everyone that went last year had fun and the rink is nice (I think it used to be the old boathouse). Although, I'm told by my hockey contact that this is their last year using this rink, they are building a new one (more energy efficient).

Ok, well I won't need the sitspin till February, so it's yours on loan till then ...

Trust me!!! There's a HUGE SLEW of us in the Pre-Bronze Peanut Gallery who are desperately trying to pass the Bronze Moves and FS tests on time. (A bunch of us are trying for the Dec tests now.) And yes, I think it's STUPID that you're not allowed to skate up at the non-qualifying Sectionals (not just Easterns, dude! Here in the Pacific Coast too!!! GRRRR!!! )

Here's hoping that by the time I get to NYC that I will be a Bronze lady then...

Let me know if you need to borrow any of my spins. I'm afraid I have no decent MIF to lend!

Right now, I need a steady loop jump more than I need spins as of now, but thanks for the offer! (My forward spins are good, my former secondary coach is shocked that I now have a backspin (hey, I don't even wanna tell 'ya how long it took to get it just passable!!!) , and Terri wants to kill me for this sit spin! )

One good turn deserves another, so here are a couple of forward crossovers available until December 9!

Well, as long as you're being so generous , I could use a backspin (mine has gone somewhere far, far, away) and a loop jump. I can do the loop pretty consistently, but yours is so much better, and I need all the brownie points I can get. Oh, and if my salchow continues in its current state, I may need that, too.

Are you sure you don't have any moves to give out? I saw your back crossovers, and they sound much less scratchy than mine, with more power. I can handle the forward ones and the power 3's and the 5-step. Your extension will help on the BO edge glides, but that's not really a problem for me, so I think I can handle that part, but if you're feeling really generous.....

I hate the loop jump. Take it, it's yours.

The back crossovers are fine, it's just the forward ones. Several regulatory agencies, oversight committees, consulting firms, and scientific think tanks are still trying to figure them out.

Debbie, I'll be glad to loan you any of the bronze moves, plus the backspin and salchow . And Jazz, the loop's yours for your test, just let me know which day you'll be needing it.

Could someone loan me some decent knees so I can get back on the ice??

While we're lending, I've a layback and spiral sequence that's available, and I'd like to borrow a partner!
