I'd love to see some of your favourite pictures from your skating year so please do share them in the comments or on Facebook.
I actually haven't taken many skating photos this year (maybe partly because I've had a lot of time off the ice due to injuries). Must fix this in 2015!
At the end of March, I got a fantastic opportunity (through the work I do) to go to the Dancing On Ice live tour's opening night and also the after party. I took along a friend and we had a great time. I have so many pictures from the night but here are a few of my favourites:
I also quite like this one from March, which is me mid-3 jump. I loved this picture because it makes my 3 jump look much higher than it actually is ;-)
In June, a photographer from work happened to be at the ice rink covering a story and he was kind enough to snap a bunch of photos of me and a friend as we practised.
The quality of his photos was amazing so I was super pleased to have them - unfortunately, out of about 50, only a handful are halfway decent because the quality of my skating was shocking! (It was also a very busy session and the ice was mush). These are some of the ones I liked.
In August, I went to the NISA Adult Development skate camp at Sheffield, which was fab. Great times with great friends (and made some new ones too - girls who skate at my rink but who I hadn't got to know previously, and one from a rink nearby). Not a lot of photos (too busy having fun!) but this sums up the fun we had!
And we had these T shirts made to wear there (because we're 10 years old inside....)
And finally, to end the year on a high note, I got lots of skatey gifts this Christmas from some fabulous friends and family members. Hope Santa was good to you all too!
Here's wishing you all super skating for 2015!
How cool that you got to go to the after-party and meet the skaters! I like the photos of you by your work photographer friend, too, you look great and have such long, beautiful hair. Sometime in the future you'll have to have a program with a layback and a ponytail so you can whip your hair around. Here's to a great skating 2015 for both of us.
ReplyDeleteAww thank you Mary :-) A layback is definitely a distant dream, haha!
