[QUOTE="mxdirtdiva, post: 82001, member: 122"] Okay, I'm TOTALLY stoked to learn there's figure skater onboard here!! I had no idea you skated onedream, that's awesome!! I guess if I spent more time on here I would've known. Not too many of us that moto and skate!! I began around age 9 and quit when I was 15. I was a USFSA Member and completed my 3rd test, landing all my doubles, except a double axel. When I skated, part of our test included compulsories (which I hated). But, IMO were a staple in discipline, even for freestyle. I'm surprised they haven't brought back as a requirement in competition. Anyway, quitting is something I have sorely regretted, but I continue to skate for fun on occasion. My husband got me new boots and blades which he had custom made for me up in San Fran. Sadly, have not had my new blades set, still have the temp screws in (moto boots have taking over :)). I will say, skating has been a great foundation on many levels, especially for moto. I skated at Glacier Falls in Anaheim (the rink has long since closed). I did a few ice shows shows there. We had a great group and some awesome coaches.
