I'd love to pass through my Novice freestyle and get the my last four Gold dances passed!

Skates that fit my foot perfectly. So far, I would change not taking more time to get proper skates. Due to not doing that to begin with, I feel it making it much harder for me to learn new skills.

If I could have one wish for skating it would be to have a more appropriate body type, that is:

younger - by at least 30 years
slimmer - by a lot
more flexible - so that I could do outside spreadeagles and nice ina bauers, biellmans etc.

My 2nd wish would be not to have stopped for 20+ years

An obvious one for me would have been to not have quit years ago. But I don't know about that. I didn't enjoy it anymore, and now I love it. So I guess that all happened for a reason.

So, just one wish would be to have been (and stay) injury-free. Please replace my left ankle and right knee

Running a close second would be to skate whenever I feel like it, regardless of money or time.

I wish I had started 30 years earlier!

Okay, other than that, I wish I could relax more. I am way too tense most of the time and it shows in my skating (hunched shoulders etc.)
