Congrats to our new Gold Moves Lady!!!

Don't feel too bad about the Gold FS test!!! You got plenty of time to take it in time for Sectionals!!! (Unless, of course, you want to take a chance competing Gold at Skate SF... Of course, I'll bless the ice if you're coming!)

Besides...some of us WISH that they could take the Gold Moves test! (In fact, some of us would like to take the Bronze Moves test "sometime" in their lifetime...

)

My coach actually brought a judge out before my last test, who tore my moves apart. She is notorious in our region, as perhaps the pickiest moves judge on earth. That said, her opinion is that this is the same as a senior level moves test...but for adults. It should have lots of flow, tons of speed, no hesitations, no scratchiness, and nearly perfect turns! She got me on the novice move and the back double 3's. Interestingly enough, a week later on test day, she passed me (the first time that's ever happened with her) and the other two judges, who are new to our area and have apparently never judged an adult moves test before, failed it.

Judges in my area don't judge skaters for tests if they have given them a recent evaluation, especially only a week earlier. While technically it can be done, it doesn't seem appropriate & it's better when they recognize there's a conflict in this situation & take themselves out of the mix.

The rule in our area seems to be not less than a week. This was actually exactly 9 days before.
