What US level am I at?

You sound like you could probably p basics 6-8. If i were you i would just sign up for basics 6 though. If you are good enough they will move you to your appropriate level. Here are the requirements for all of the levels in usfsa: a href="http://www.iceskatesnblades.com/USFSA___ISI_Test_Levels.html" rel="nofollow"http://www.iceskatesnblades.com/USFSA___…/a If your missing any skills from the other levels you may want to get some help and fill in those gaps. For example, in isi you don't learn the side toe hop(at least it's not in any of their tests) so you might want to learn that, as it is in jump combinations later. If you can easily do everything from basics 6 then you should sign up for basics 7. My rink took a break from group lessons for a month so in the meantime i took private lessons. Now i can do the waltz, half flip, toe loop, half Lutz, and i'm working on the Salchow. My private coach said to just sign up for basics 6(i ped basics 5 before). And he said that if i'm good enough to move up a level they will move me to my appropriate level. So look at the techniques. Just because you can do a toe loop doesn't mean you can skip over other important skills such as mohawks, lunges, spins, etc. so keep that in mind.
