Other than this forum and others where I lurk (pretty much a rehash of everything you find here), I have two other sites that I review almost daily. They are

http://www.pairsonice.com

http://www.frogsonice.com/skateweb/

What other sites are there out there that you visit on a regular basis?

The UnOfficial Sarah Hughes Website (http://dianesrink.com/sarah/)

I am a regular here, Don Korte's site Adrian mentioned, USFSA.org, and of course, my rink site since I'm the webmaster: www.SPFSA.com!

This is my main board, but I also spend more than bit of time at:

Michelle Kwan Forum
Yahoo!Skatefans
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SkateFans/

To me, this is one of the ultimate boards beside this one for intelligent elite figure skating discussion. I really enjoy the posts for the info and opinions they provide.

I cruise RSSIF a little, but the only problem there is the trolls that regularly invade and no matter what skater or topic is being discussed, throw in their venomous comments about the skaters they hate (usually Michelle Kwan) and that makes the forum a little less than appealing. As much as I do believe in free speech, I also like board moderation, which doesn't occur at RSSIF unless you post and filter our certain posters yourself. I don't post at either skatefans or RSSIF as you have to list your e-mail address when posting and I prefer not to do that. They both do supply good info, though.

As for skating ifself, Adrian's "On The Ice" board is my favorite (my form of therapy!!!! :P ), but I also really like Don Korte's site for information on skating technique, testing, rules, etc. Sandra Loosemore's "SkateWeb" is also, in the words of the immortal Mr. Button, "First Rate!!!"

Skateweb (http://www.frogsonice.com/skateweb/) They have a nice collection of links and things. They were the first figure skating site I visited when I got the internet a long time ago (cant believe I still remember that!)

Figure Skating TV Schedule (http://www.heatherw.com/mk/sch.htm) Heather is a saint for doing this!

Ahh...the shameless plug for my website that I designed and created for my skating club, Skating Club of Western New York (http://skatingclubofwesternnewyork.org/).

And, of course, this board! Where else would I get all of my 'inside skating info' from? ;)

I have 4 bookmarked:

1. This site, of course.
2. FSU - Sharpie's site. Very funny, not for the tame at heart or easily offended. FSU (http://www.fsuniverse.net)
3. Heather's TV schedule - she does a fantastic job. :)
4. Laurie's Alexei Yagudin discussion board. Some of the posters get a bit excited, but it's lots of fun.
