[Dee4707]

You know you're a skating fan...

when you keep posting to this thread.

 

[iluvtodd]

... if you crave attending live competitions when possible (we're currently attending US Eastern Sectionals in Aston, PA - 45 minutes form home, and having a blast).

... if you mutter in your sleep," five-nine, five-nine six, six, five-nine, six, five-nine, five-nine, and six. Thank you."

 

[MrScroogeMcDuck]

... if you instantly knew to what the previous post was referring.

 

[#1Kerryfan]

When everyone you know knows more about your favorite skater than they ever wanted to know

When you can't watch your favorite skater skate on TV

When GS is one of the first sites you visit after turning on the computer.

 

[iluvtodd]

... if you don't mind sitting in a cold rink (all bundled up) for a few hours watching practices and competitions.

 

[Dee4707]

... if you mutter in your sleep," five-nine, five-nine six, six, five-nine, six, five-nine, five-nine, and six. Thank you."

You know you're a skating fan...

When you go to a competition and you get up early so you can watch the practices.

 

[iluvtodd]

... if you are thrilled that a skater you've admired for years finally gets wider exposure and recognition (Armin M. ).

 

[Dee4707]

You know you're a skating fan...

when you agree with Gail and her above post.

 

[iluvtodd]

Ah, Armin!

... if it really bothers you when skaters seemed to be judged more on past reputation rather than what they actually do on the ice at a competition.

 

[Dee4707]

You know you're a skating fan...

when you keep looking for the next Michelle, Sasha, Alexei

 

[Kwanford Wife]

You know you're a skating fan when...

You recognize classical music by skaters vs. composer
You use skaters & their competitive records when going for the killer sports analogy
Your immediate family & friends who are NOT fans become familiar with skaters & their back story (my husband loves to compare our son to Sasha Cohen when he gets ahead of himself & makes mistakes in soccer... its hilarious)

 

[Dee4707]

You know you're a skating fan when...

when you thought you better stay on the good side of KW!!!

 

[iluvtodd]

... if you mutter in your sleep," five-nine, five-nine six, six, five-nine, six, five-nine, five-nine, and six. Thank you."

Could you explain this reference? Is it for Michelle, or is it just a longing for the 6.0 system?

... if you laugh your head off over "Uncle" Dickie's wit. love: my "Uncle" Dickie, warts & all)

 

[Dee4707]

You know you're a skating fan when...

When you see the younger skaters and think they remind you of an older skater.
