Skating stuff
Feb. 27th, 2016 10:06 pmI spent some time on my split jump today, and it's looking much splittier. Don't get me wrong, it's nothing like that video; it's somewhere between that and a half flip with some flailing of the legs. But it's fun.
Camel spin is back to where it was before I got my skates sharpened and my rocker mysteriously moved back. Back spin is...let's not. I think I may have landed an only-slightly-cheated loop jump on one foot today for half a millisecond before I put the other foot down. There was only one other person there this afternoon--amazing, given the influx after Ritzy Rink Down the Road closed earlier this month--and I got there first, so I put on my piano-centric playlist and it was all very peaceful.
P and I haven't had a lesson for a couple weeks because of schedule conflicts, but we do tomorrow morning and we're going to start the Silver moves in the field test elements. I can already do the front and back cross strokes and power pulls, though probably not to test quality, and I don't think spirals will be much of an issue if my back cooperates. The FI-BO three turns are doable now, but definitely nowhere near test quality, and my back inside threes are, uh, nonexistent right now, so that's going to need some work. Noooot looking forward to the 8-step mohawk, though. Outside mohawks are beasts.
