Jedi Mind Tricks

I skated the 5:45 p.m. FS at Shiny Rink tonight. It's a short session (45 minutes) but it was pretty productive.

I spent some quality time on the half flip. I can at least go through it but I'm not particularly *jumping* at this point. I worked on just skating the back edge, picking in and jumping up. It needs a lot more work but at least some small progress.

I managed to work a Jedi mind trick on myself to help with my problematic LFI3. I worked on them earlier in the session without much progress, so I came back just before the end of the session and started alternating doing an RFO3, then an LFI3 in the exact same place, alternating back and forth. It really helped -- I was able to half convince myself the change of foot didn't matter. I think this will really help me get over my mental block on this turn.

Beyond that, touched on the other stuff -- spins, waltz-8, waltz jumps, FXOs. No BXOs though.
