Backspin Progress!

I had an unexpected opportunity to skate at adult session today. I got about an hour's worth of skating in. I worked on the waltz jump walkthrough, edges, the spin entrance, and crossovers.

Toward the end of the session I decided to spend some time working on the backspin. To my surprise and amazement, I got about a 1-rev spin! I was flabbergasted. Of course, although Anna was there she was teaching someone else and didn't see (I do have a witness though!). After trying a couple more, I went on to other things for a while. Just before the end of the session I went back to the backspin and managed one that was easily 1.5 revs! It was the most amazing feeling, my weight was exactly in the sweet spot.

I am so psyched, I could just spit!
