Figure Skater's Website

Though all are welcome, the Figure Skater's Website will be of greatest interest to those actually participating in the sport as skaters, parents, professionals, & club officials.

I hope you will find something useful here. Please feel free to contact me with suggestions for improvements, additions, or changes. This site is both a reference to Figure Skating information, and a place for skaters to communicate about things like "partners wanted", "skates for sale", etc. Your active two-way participation on this site will help to make it a genuinely useful place for all skaters to congregate

Preview the sk8stuff site upgrade:. I've been working on a major site overhaul for sk8stuff. Its not quite ready to "go live" yet, but you're welcome to check out the work-in-process and let me know what you think of the concept. If you're a webmaster, please don't link to the new pages because they'll change to the normal address when they become real.  I'm targeting for an August release.
