From proud tears to guard-related fears — here's what went down this week.
At AST, we don’t just skate — we celebrate. Whether it’s your first competition or a full-on faceplant (we’ve all been there), every moment on the ice is worth cheering for. Here’s what lit up the AST Facebook Group this week — from major milestones to hilarious mishaps:
🥇 First Competition? Nailed It.
One of our amazing adult skaters made their competition debut and absolutely crushed it — clean program, no falls, zero chaos. The comments were overflowing with love, support, and a few proud tears (not us crying at our desks... 😭).
🥉 Bronze Moves: Passed with Honors!
Another skater just passed their Bronze Moves in the Field test — with honors, no less! That’s a huge achievement, and the virtual applause was deafening. (Okay, maybe that was just our skate guards clapping together.)
💃 The Camel Toe Chronicles
What started as a funny fashion SOS turned into an epic thread: “How do I hide camel toe in my competition dress?” From silicone patches to strategic body tape, the suggestions were equal parts helpful and hilarious. You never know what gems you’ll find in this group.
📍 Skate Fitter Recommendations? Say Less.
A new skater reached out asking for a solid skate fitter in the Eastern U.S., and y’all delivered. From Nashville to Boston, the list is now a go-to resource for anyone looking to get properly fitted — no more bruised toenails or mystery pain.
😳 Oops… Skated with Guards On
A seasoned skater shared their “I thought I was past this” moment: stepping onto the ice with guards still on. Turns out, you're not alone — the group piled in with their own “guarded” moments. (PSA: Always do a guard check.)
