Thanks for the invite as I know I could get away at least a weekend if it wasn't ski season but I'd like to get a bit more practice in so maybe next season. I'd like to at least learn all the moves in the Sportsman pattern sequence.
I thought I read something about an event in NY state this past spring that was for novice pattern. It sound almost as much like practice/training as competition. When I read about it, I was hoping it would happen again next year. But now I can't find it. Maybe it was the 401 to 402 events in Endicott but I did look it up and thought the location was a bit further east and south. Could be I'm just not remembering it right. If there was an event like that next spring, I'd definitely go if I was free that weekend.
