It is very hard for those of us adults who weren't already intermediate or above to pass the intermediate freestyle test and move up in to the adult masters ranks.

Well, cosk8er64 did just that!!!

Congrats - and we all need to cheer our newest Novice Adult skater on in her next competitons!!!

(For those of you standard track skaters in the US, the intermediate test = the adult novice level, or masters in the championship events).
