passed bronze moves!!
I just had to share the news that I passed my Adult Bronze Mitf yesterday! I passed with a 13 (.5 over the passing average), and I was particularly happy to get above the passing average for each move except the 3-turn pattern which I received exactly passing on. I never expected to get above the average for the 5-step mohawk, and I ended up with a 2.6!! I have worked so hard on that dang thing. Kudos to my coach for getting me from barely passing pre-bronze in the fall 2007 to bronze, even with a back injury and a concussion. I owe it all to her!

The judge was particularly helpful, encouraging and sweet. She said it was a pleasure to watch, and I got the feeling that she really liked seeing adults work hard and try harder.

I'm feeling so good today!

Congratulations! You should feel good. A suggestion if you got a copy of the test paper, maybe make a copy and frame it for your coach as part of your going away present - so she always knows you loved and appreciated her.

CONGRATS, STACY!!!

Yes, those Bronze Moves are harder than they LOOK!!! I, of all people should know... (... and am VERY thankful that I've finally CONQUERED that dreaded test too!!! )

I take it you're taking the Bronze FS test very soon?

I am at a standstill with my backspin - I'm hoping that working on the silver backward 3's will help me to feel more confident with it (and maybe help my loop as well?).

So it doesn't look like I'm taking Bronze FS anytime in the next few months. I was hoping to be able to hit Adult Nationals this year, but it might have to wait. We'll see what happens this fall!

Congratulations!!

I practiced the power 3's today for the first time since I passed Bronze MIF - over 2 years ago (I'm considering testing Pre-Prelim and Prelim MIF this coming year). I had forgotten how hard that move is!

Congratulations!! That's a good way for your coach to remember you.
Where are you moving to?

I'm moving up to North Jersey, so I'll be not so far from Ice House (moves guru, possibly!) in Hackensack, Ice Vault and South Mountain Arena. Lots of wonderful rinks.

CONGRATULATIONS!
(JMO, but I don't think the silver BO threes will help with the backspin because your weight has to be over the little toe for the backspin, but to the mid-back of the blade for the BO threes. Maybe someone else has some input on this.)
