My adventures as an adult male figure skater in Tucson, Arizona Portland, Oregon Chandler, Arizona.
I skated the Chandler Ice Cafe today for freestyle practice. Nice ice, 8 skaters. I warmed up with stroking, then ran the Bronze Moves. In general, pretty good. I did NOT make it around on the circle-8 though. Ack. After my runthrough I worked on them some more and it's just not happening. Yuck.
