Midweek skating, The Americans 1.05-1.09
Jun. 5th, 2013 05:56 pmI went to the midday public session today, and while part of the rink is, er, broken and was blocked off (about a sixth of it at one end), it was otherwise pretty glorious. I got there just after an ice make (smooth as glaaaaass), and there weren't too many people there. I think I was one of three for a little while. The rest of the time, there was a handful of middle schoolers, several of whom thought I WUZ AWSUM SKATER because I can go backwards and do things like one-foot glides and forward alternating pumps. Sometimes kids are very good for the ego.
I tried doing the pumps on the oh-so-empty, weekday-publics-can-be-fabulous hockey circles, and they went pretty well. I worked on my forward pivots, just for the hell of it and because I think they look pretty, and the forward/counterclockwise one with my left toepick in the ice is coming along. Less so for the clockwise one around the right foot, but we can't have it all, I suppose.
