Jada Gossett

It's been 6 years since I got myself on this crazy rollercoaster, and while I can't say that the last year has been particularly great for my skating career, I can't deny that I love skating and I will find a way to fit in it MY way and without giving the national org validity and money 😅 thanks for the OGs who've been here since "jadaskates" and bad slaloms at the Penn ice rink

Twizzles were always the first thing to go if I didn't work on them...🫠 #figureskating

You ever get hyperfixated on a shape after a noodle? This emotional performance is about to pop off once I get moving again #spiritfarer

TOI nationals was fun 🥰 As someone who started skating with the intention of skating solo, it was an interesting change of pace to connect with other skaters to tell a story. I wasn't a team sports kid (I wasn't a sports kid to begin with lol) and while I danced with other people, it was a different vibe. This week was jam packed and I didn't get to hang with all the amazing people outside of my team, but I didn't have the burden of ice dance expectations on my shoulders, and I surprisingly had pockets of gender affirmation I didn't expect as a nonbinary person. I'm not sure where the future will take me, but this was a cool experience!

I may not be skating much (read: at all) on my own these days just from the absolute whirlwind of spring (and depression? nihilism?), but I am /super/ excited about this bag I made with @stitchsewshop last night! I've needed a non-skating hobby, and I've always wanted to learn how to sew with a machine. This baby is reversible! I hope you're doing well

My mission of this session was to either find some skills to put in our TOI free program OR start choreoraphing my showcase program. Instead, I discovered the only thing I want to do is have a clean counter-bracket 😅 Blame the unexpected empty ice...

Okay, no more videos for a while 😅 This was actually my favorite of the session! I don't usually get my best work on camera because I guess my improv is camera shy?? But I had a vision that I wanted to keep rotation 🌀 #contemporaryskating #figureskating #bradenbales

It's very hard to vibe when there's back to back ice dance lessons happening but there's always time for tricks! You see my vision, though, right? My program theme is gonna make some skating skills challenging but it will be worth it!

Going through the archives for a project. Very excited for things ahead!

Discovered some new tricks I can finally ~do~ even if not done ~well~. I've never quite understood rolling 3 turns but I think it's...coming. Ditto with the continuous brackets, but I don't skate enough for any of this to come with any reasonable consistency rn 😅 My 5 year skating anniversary is coming up in a few weeks and I have a throwback video planned 🥰🥰 with some improv in there 😉😉
