Building a zamboni or "homeboni" is very simple. We used 1 inch PVC pipe. Glued it together in the shape you see in the picture.
Once you hook a hose to it, you just need to adjust the water to the right amount. The right amount is very hard to know. We put one hole in the top T so we could easily see the water flow. After a few trials we know how much to adjust based on the top hole. On our homeboni we adjust until the water lands on the outside ...

In the first round there are recall judges (who have no skating experience) and skating ...

In the video, you will see that on one of the watlz jump loops, I have both hands on my right hip (or left if you are a lefty). That is to prevent you from opening up to the left side (unless ...

This past week has been one of the most amazing experiences of my life. On the first day of skating, everyone was figuring out who the coaches and skaters were, but by the end of the week we were all friends. All of the coaches there were super nice and encouraging. Almost every day we had an off-ice harness and workout class. We took turns on the ...
