I was in my local card shop the other day and found tiny toon cards by Topps.
On the pack it says $.25 but they're selling them for $.35 (bum deal).  I feel
ripped.  Do you guys have stores in your areas selling them for $.25 or
cheaper if I buy a lot of them?  thanks.

What I am trying to find out is just what the difference is.  The rink that
we belong to has only just begun sending coaches to the regionals this year.
Some of the coaches competed as kids too, but no one here really seems to
know, except perhaps one.  You hear a lot of differing opinions.

We have one coach that came from the Bay Area (competed in seniors I believe) 
I am using her as a basic reference.  It has been a while since she coached
there but from what I hear my belief is that perhaps the Bay Area is far
more competetive than the region I live in.   

I do have a copy of the rules - and I know that they compete far above the
minimums in there.  But how far?  What I am after is some sort of calibration 
at the lower levels: pre-juvenile, juvenile, and intermediate, so that I will
have some idea of what is going on nationwide rather than just locally.

Maybe stair-riding ought to go in the FAQ 8-)

Anyway, I'm not a superb or graceful stair-rider, but here goes...

Forwards stair-riding
---------------------

Stance:

Scissored position, knees bent somewhat (how much depends on the stairs
mainly)  Generally, bend them enough so you don't pitch forward while
but you should be able to reach one skate ahead of you and still keep 
your weight back.
 
Weight distribution:

Your weight is, for the most part, centered, but since you're inclined
downhill the uphill skate takes most of the weight.  So most of the weight 
on the front-half of the back skate and just a little on the back-half of the 
front skate.
 
Preparation:

How 'bout a catchy phrase for this one?  "The more speed, the less you bleed."  
8-)  If you've got the speed, you won't feel the bumps as much and your
momentum should keep you nicely on track.  If you're trying to ride steps 
without a sufficient runaway...well, I recommend you jump them instead, or 
ride them backwards (much easier).  It's near impossible (at least in my
experience) to get rolling when the first then that happens is *clunk*
your skates jam in the steps.
 
Adjustments:
 
There aren't many adjustments needed usually, other than to adjust your 
stance and weight according to the steepness of the steps.  You might
want to experiment to find your optimum stance width.  Sometimes your
lead skate can get ahead of you, and you do the splits, or sometimes
your back skate gets caught and you do the splits...and then you crash 8-)

Beginners:

If you can, find steps that are short and wide so that you can get used
to hitting successive steps without any real danger of losing your balance.
(Vertically short, and wide in the direction of travel)  Oh, and wear
your gear!  At the very least, your wrist guards.

Anyway, hope this helps a little.

I haven't been able to catch most of the televised shows over the last
few years - but from what I have seen I would definitely add Harding
to the list of those that "go for it."

I was impressed with Harding because of her tenacity and unwillingness
to give up trying the triple Axel even when she was having a lot of
problems with it.  I believe that at a more recent competetion (worlds?) 
she dropped it on the advice of her coach.  Hopefully she has put it
back in by now.

As an adult skater myself - I seriously doubt that I will ever get
over the competition "nerves."  Sometimes it seems to help and other
times it really hurts your performance.  It seems to depend a lot on
whether or not I manage to get my concentration under control in time.

You can alternate two sets if you like, but cleaning isn't such a big deal
as people seem to make it out to be.

Basically, you need to make it a habit to check your wheels when you're done
skating.  If one wheel doesn't spin as nicely as the others, then either it
or all of them need attention.  First check that you don't have its axle too
tight, then pop it out and spin it between your finger nails to see which
bearing is causing the problem.

Another trick is to press the skate up against your ear and listen to the
sounds each wheel makes when it spins.  If one sounds funny or like it's
chewing on sand, then it's time for cleaning or relubricating.

Newly cleaned bearings will spin nicely, but do put in some lubrication,
grease or oil as you prefer.  If you use grease, your wheels won't spin
very well at first, but then as the extra grease gets shoved out of the
way they will do better.  Oil works, but you need to remember to put a
drop in now an then, since oil doesn't hang around as long as the grease
does.
