I'm 24 and at the Pre-Preliminary level (I've only been back 1 yr after a 6 yr hiatus - before that, I was landing an axel, and close on 2toe and 2loop).

I have been skating for 8 or 9 years (including CanSkate). I started when I was 11 or 12. All my doubles have come quickly this year though. I didn't have any clean until 6 months ago and now I have all of them except toe and axel (and they are all pretty consistent). My only problem is that I have to slow down going into 2flip and 2lutz (not as much as on the flip though). I can do all of the basic spins (can't do outside camels, etc.) although camel change camel is pushing my luck.

I started 2axel in November, landed a few cheated ones in Dec, got hurt in Dec, took a month off, waited another month when I got back on the ice to do 2axel and they're slowly getting close again ... I have super consistant doubles although I have foot problems so I rarely do flip or lutz but they're my 2 best doubles so it isn't a biggie ... 2axel just takes awhile to get the feeling of

I've been skating for 7 years

I'm 18, and I skate at the Jr. Silver B level. I have 2 sal, 2 loop and 2 flip. I'm thinking of hopefully testing Sr. Silver Elements soon, that's if I can start landing 2/2 combos consistantly.

I'm OLD - like Adult Level 3, old enough to have a grown-up daughter of my own - and am primarily a dancer, although I do a little free skating. My best jump is a very cheated salchow, but I tend to stick to 3-jumps and bunny hops! In ice dance, I'm at the equivalent of the US pre-Bronze level.

I've been skating for 13 years(4 years in Canskate and 9 years in the test program). I've done singles and synchro(both festival and competitive). Skating hasn't come easily to me, so it's taken a long time for me to progress to where I am now.

starshinexavier can u do 2toeloops?
