    Testing as an adult

    On my last two tries if this test I have gotten a split panel with one judge passing me and the two others failing me. I feel that judges have different perceptions and opinions about test otherwise I wouldn’t of have gotten a split panel. Do you know what thread you posted in I am interested in...

    Testing as an adult

    I’ve just been told very different things from different judges even on the same panel. Some things I agree with like my choctaws are not the best but other things I disagree with and same with my coach. Like on my last test that was virtual one of the judges said I had weak edges coming out of...

    Testing as an adult

    Hello. So I see that for test int-senior you are allowed to test as an adult if you are 21+. It says that this is one test level below. What does this exactly mean? I am going to test my junior and senior as an adult because I’ve been having a bad experience doing it at a standard level and I...

    Junior MITF Power Pulls

    Hi! Just wondering with junior moves in the field for the power pull sequence would it be ok to start on a left back inside pull instead of a left back outside pull so I turn to the quick left outside rocker first instead of the quick left inside rocker first? I am really struggling with the...

    Junior moves I keep failing

    Hi thank you for the advice. I can send you videos but I’ll message you privately. I have taken videos from practice lately especially with my choctaws because those need the most work.

    Trouble with Choctaw’s and unsure what to do..

    I watched the video and it was somewhat helpful. I’m just having trouble with regular Choctaw’s the ones from a back outside edge into and forward inside edge. That’s a good idea to practice them on the semi-circle! Thank you for the advice!

    Trouble with Choctaw’s and unsure what to do..

    Hi! So I think it would be a good idea for me to take ballet but would it help me with getting better choctaws in terms of turning out more and having better fluidity? Choctaws on junior are really killing me because I don’t have good edges with them but will ballet help me since turning out on...

    Junior moves I keep failing

    Hi it’s funny you mention that. I’ve actually never tested dance but I want to and I’ve passed my intermediate freestyle a few years ago. My coach decided a few days ago that I should work with this really good dance coach at the rink on my moves so I cross my fingers he does the trick and helps me.

    Do you have any suggestions on practicing in your head? I know it can be different for everyone but is there something that helps you?

    Junior moves I keep failing

    I definitely feel the same way as you. This test is far too important for me to give up and the amount of hours I put into it I don’t want to give up. I’m going to try to work on getting off my ties as difficult as that can be because I believe it’ll make a huge difference in my skating and what...
