My adventures as an adult male figure skater in Tucson, Arizona Portland, Oregon Chandler, Arizona.
I skated the Chandler Ice Cafe today for patch practice. Ugh! I'd not skated in my patch skates for several weeks so it was pretty rough. Ice was clean, but really bumpy. Nine skaters.
I skated edges, FO8, FI8, BO8, and BI8. Still having issues with the FO8; the FI8 was better.
