WOW! i'm not even an ice skater yet i'm impressed! you really put some thought and time into this! i went to a few actually - very nifty stuff! good job!

woosh

Those sites are so good thanks for posting, now I'm going to up my out of rink training instead of just depending on what I do at the rink! Thank you!

Thanks for posting those sites! I had fun looking through them all.

thanks for the post! I LOVE IT! I'm a dancer, and I do skating too. i NEVER knew they did leaps in ice ksating too! I always imagined leaping on ice, but thought it wasn't possible, not I do!!! THANKY OU!!!!

Wherever there is Cadbury in this world it shall be eaten.

Really good websites for forums, posts, pictures, and the latest info on specific skaters are...

for IRINA SLUTSKAYA.... irina-slutskaya.com
for MICHELLE KWAN...... mkforum.net
for SASHA COHEN.... sashafans.com

I am a member of all of these and they always have the best info, i definately would suggest visiting these for any information you would ever need becuase they all have post boards on the specific skaters, recent events, figure skating news in general, and other random chats and special projects.

thanx! that should save me some time searching...

I have purchased several costumes from Sk8, They are very well made and very afordable for the fabulous quality you get. My daughter won her division in the light blue costume with lace on front. It was beautiful! You can't go wrong with Sk8.
