I can listen to a piece of music and envision the moves and the costume to go with it. Ocassionally I consider starting up again and trying my hand at competing in the adult category. This way I can finally skate to all the music my coach wouldn't let me when I was younger!

LOL I'm not even lying.....it was super frustrating watching 5 year olds land their axel when they don't even have to leave the ground....height TOTALLY works against you. Finally I figured out how to whip myself around but it took 3 precious years to land that axel so I totally sympathize...a big reason of why I hated it soo much.
My two other nemeses, although now I don't understand why- the toe loop and sit spin (again that height thing).
I also taught skating to mentally and physically challenged kids- I'd love to start that up again here but I wouldn't be sure how
