I started skating at 12.  Took some time off during college and some after.

Adult silver/pre-juvnile.

My favorite jump is a flip.

My favorite spin is a flying camel too!

I just started to take dance and I'm LOVING it!!  :)

The last MIF test I passed was adult silver.

My favorite skater of all time is Kristi Yamaguchi.

My worst injury....hmm, I've been lucky enough not to have too many or dumb enough to skate through most of them...I sprained my knee pretty bad on an axel once and I slipped off an edge on a loop, messing up my hip pretty bad a few months ago.  I kept skating anyway and it disppeared on its own!  :)

Hey, this is a neat poll!

-I started skating at age 13 (Which was two years ago, when I first turned 13)

-I started at Pre-Alpha and in two years I am now in FS5 (ISI) or Preliminary (USFSA)

-Favorite Jump: Axel, Loop, or Flip

-Favorite Spin: Sit spin

-Dance: Nope

-MITF: Preliminary. Taking Pre-Juvenile in November

-Fave skater: Michelle Kwan

Worst Injury: The day I landed my axel I fell down a lot too, and my butt started to hurt really bad, even when I did a salchow. If I worked too much or too hard my legs would start feeling numb, and buckle underneath me. I think I pulled a muscle. But it went away after 2-3 days (Thank Goodness!)
