The great thing about coming back to skating as an adult is I appreciate the basics more.
I completely agree. Now that I'm back as an adult skater, I've really focused more on MIF. When I was in high school/college, all I really wanted to work on were the tricks.

Equipment DOES matter!  Since dd got new blades (not the ones that come with skates), her edge work is SO much better.  She said it feels incredible and so much easier.  So sometimes it's not the skater. :P
