Hi, everyone!
While tearing my hair out over the last couple of years trying to summarize and publicize info for our ST trips, and knowing that people (including me) have to dig through many pages of threads, thinking 'now WHERE did I see that info?', I decided that there must be a better way to summarize data gathered at the forums and blogs that will be easy for people to refer to at a later date.
We also realized that new fans trying to learn about the sport have a similar problem referencing info that they've seen on the forums - for instance, 'how do they determine points in the world team championships?' ...
...soooo we have started a new website called www.Rocker-U.net to bridge the gap. We consider it to be a sister site to www.TheRockerFund.org but it is geared toward fan education and promotion of attendance at ST events, and in keeping with the 'education' theme, it's set up like a University campus.
It is intended to be a resource to find summaries of info found here and elsewhere at your fingertips.
As you explore the site, please note that it is by no means complete - but all who have 'previewed' it think that it is ready to be publicized. We have lots of content, particularly in the skater biography areas, that will be added over the next weeks and months.
Enjoy!
