icepixieProgress on loop jump! Yaaaay! It's 3/4 rotated. I continually land on two feet, but at least I'm mostly turned around when I do it.
P and I worked more on the splitflailing falling leaf and split jumps. She was like, "I see this in a program...split jump into split falling leaf into toe loop...yes, I like it..." To which my response was stark, wide-eyed terror, but you know the next time I'm on the ice I'm going to try stumbling through it myself, so.
(Bronze test program's coming up. As soon as I get within spitting distance of consistency on loop and up to three rotations on a back scratch spin. Yikes. I'm also vaguely contemplating competing Pre-Bronze at the adult competition in Atlanta in September, which might be a good test run for said Bronze test program.)
She asked BF for advice on how to get my backspin in proper working order, and he couldn't offer much. However, she stumbled upon the magic trick to make it...almost work. I think. I'll have to experiment more with going into it on a shallower, quicker edge, because that was yielding something different about the spin, anyway.
Camel spin...is there. I get decent at everything but getting my leg up all the way, then regress, then improve but for that one thing, then regress, then improve... It has a lot to do with my hips and how open they are, I can only assume thanks to my hyper flexible SI joints. Feh.
