good call, texasdancer. it's definatly the most annoying thing when someone who doesn't know skating tries to talk skating.
i've been seeing a lot of mothers coaching their children lately and i can't even imagine that...but every skater's different, that might work for some ppl i guess.

true i have seen some kids like it when their parents stand at the door and after evry element the kid does they go back to their parent for feedback, so i guess it depends on the kids.

These kids need to learn to think on their own. They are looking for the approval of someone(parent), who doesn't even know what they are talking about.

amen to that its also distracting ur set up for a jump ready to take off and some kid will jsut skate by trying to get to their parents err its frustrating
