I always think about the fact that I live alone and I have to get to work (well, when I'm not forced to work from home, anyway) and do all cooking and household chores on my own. No parents around to take care of all that...

Kids have it so much easier...
October 29, 20205 yr Omg I hate twisted ankles... happened to me before from skating and it’s healed now but still scares me! Anyone here twisted ankles from skating? Seriously admire all the skaters for still being able to do quads and all after scary injuries, like Anna and Alina having broken bones, Yuzu’s multiple ankle injuries etc

October 30, 20205 yr Sorry, changing topics now, and sorry if this is not the right thread. Anyone who lives in the UK knows where I could buy leg warmers for skating, the ones with the wider bottom to pull over the skates? My legs always freeze up, it's too damn cold in the ice rink I always go too Or maybe someone knows about a good online shop that ships internationally?

Hmm, maybe try these by Frozen Couture? https://frozencouture.com/fame-leg-warmers/?fbshop=1&attributes=eyIxNDk0IjogIjIyNTIifQ&utm_source=IGShopping&utm_medium=Social 12 hours ago, yuzuangel said: i haven't but i feel like i constantly retie my boots whenever i feel the least bit ankle movement haha. and i am too scared to try hard things also i haven't twisted my ankle from off-ice jumps but they're often sore when i walk nowadays especially a day or two after doing the jumps >__< Oh no, why sore? Have you tried icing them? I understand, just the thought of getting injured freaks me out so much, but I know if I don’t get over that fear I’ll never be able to do any jumps from axel and above 😭 So I guess the only way is to do everything possible to prevent injury, and build things up slowly without rushing ourselves...

December 19, 20205 yr My coach told me to send her some music ideas for a program and we'd start working on one. Of course, now my mind's gone completely blank. My taste in music tends toward the dramatic, but I don't have the skill to pull anything like that off. One of the downsides to being an avid FS watcher is that you get all these choreo ideas that you'll never be able to do. I'm tempted to send her a playlist with a bunch of warhorses as a joke. Also, I can fairly consistently get a slow backspin around for a few revs now. So... yay?
