    Shaun Rogers > Senior Men 2002 US National Junior Mens' Silver Medalist Shaun Rogers was born on July 22, 1985, in Baltimore, MD. He began group skating lessons at the age of eight in his hometown of Millersville, MD, after participating in a school skating party. Rogers won the 2000 U.S. National Novice men's title and the Junior men's silver medal at 2002 Nationals. Rogers trains in Newark, Delaware, and represents the University of Delaware Figure Skating Club. He is coached by Pamela Duane Gregory and his choreographer is Nathan Birch. As a senior in 2002-2003, Rogers hopes to include triple axel-triple toe and up to two quad jumps (toe and salchow) in his programs, "along with better presentation than I've had in the past." When asked by Unseen Skaters to summarize what he likes about skating, Rogers replied: "I love jumping, and performing is very self-satisfying. I've also made many friends, some of whom are very important to me." Off the ice, he would like to get a Computer Science degree in college and become a good guitarist.

    Amie Allnutt

    Amie Allnutt, a member of Redwood Artistic Club in Redwood City, is a Regional competitor in Sophomore Pairs with partner, Andy Minieri. Amie also competes freestyle events. A student at Del Mar High School in San Jose, Amie began skating only seven years ago when her mother started her in "star" (beginner) classes. She enjoys skating for the space and freedom she feels when she skates and for the opportunity it gives her to keep in shape while having fun. When not skating, Amie can be found hanging out with friends or participating in school activities. Logan Boggs
    Antoine Brooks

    Antoine Brooks, a coach at Redwood Artistic Club in Redwood City, has been skating for "years," although, he declines to say just how many. During his competitive career, he made finals at Regionals and at Gold Skate Classics with his splashy jumping style. In addition to Artistic skating, Antoine played professional roller hockey with the Sacramento River Rats, and still plays for enjoyment and coaches. He also has started coaching Artistic skaters at Santa Clara. He is drawn to the concentration skating requires and to the challenge. He enjoys pushing the limits. When not on skates, Antoine can be found on a softball field, playing basketball or snowboarding - if it's a sport, he's probably into it.

    He's drawn blood from almost all athletes who have dared

He makes his own rules and refuses to wear those sissy in-line skates. Mark has been a derby skater since he was 15. From 1972-1986 he skated on teams that include "The New York Bombers," "The Texas Outlaws" and "The Northern Hawks." He used to have a pet tarantula named Precious. Precious escaped and is still running loose to this day. Mark also has four tribal tattoos of Southeast Asian design.

    Review by Irene Gordon.
    Not only will Super Skaters be of great interest to avid figure skating fans, but it will also be very useful for school research projects. The book is introduced by a history of figure skating, from the first use of animal bones as skate blades some 4000 years ago, to the use of metal blades in Holland in the 14th Century, to the founding of the first skating club in the world in Scotland around 1650, to the present. As well, there is a description of how skaters prepare their programs, illustrated explanations of how the various jumps are done, a listing of the Olympic gold medalists in the four skating disciplines (men's, women's, pairs and ice dance), and an explanation of how competitions are judged. "As more and more people in Europe and North America discovered the pleasures of skating, they began to skate together on ponds and lakes. The first skating club in the world, the Edinburgh Skating Club in chilly Scotland, came into being around 1650. To join the club, you had to be able to skate in a circle on one foot, then on the other foot, then jump over a pile of three hats. Perhaps these tricky exercises could be considered the first skating competition. "(Page 3)

    Figure skating
    Figure skating is an ice skating sporting event where individuals and mixed couples compete to try to perform the most spectacular and accurately-performed elements while skating to music. Figure skaters use skates which differ slightly from hockey skates, to perform spins, jumps, and other "moves" on the ice, often to music. There are international competitions for figure skating, such as the World Championships and figure skating is also an official event in the Winter Olympics Table of contents showTocToggle("show","hide") 1 Jumps

    There are six major jumps in figure skating. All six are landed on a right back outside edge, but have different takeoffs, by which they may be distinguished. The two categories of jumps are toe jumps and edge jumps. Toe jumps are launched by tapping the toe pick of one skate into the ice, and include (in order of difficulty from easiest to hardest): 1) Toe loops, which take off from the back outside edge of the right foot and are launched by the left toe pick (toe walleys are similar, but take off from the back inside edge of the right foot);

The goal of his expedition was to cross the Antarctic overland, but more than a year later, and still half a continent away from the intended base, the Endurance was trapped in ice and eventually was crushed. For five months Shackleton and his crew survived on drifting ice packs in one of the most savage regions of the world before they were finally able to set sail again in one of the ship's lifeboats.
