5-Step Mohawk

My lesson with JJ on the 8:15 FS at Gilbert.  Nice ice and just 4 skaters and 2 coaches.

Today we worked just on the 5-step mohawk.  JJ focused on getting me to fill out the pattern; he drew 2 long lines down the length of the rink representing the tops/edges of each lobe of the pattern and we worked to holllld the 1st step, especially, longer.  This seemed (at least on the R foot) to have the side effect of improving the mohawk itself so that it wasn't so hopped.. yay!  Then we worked on holding out the BO edge longer and flatter... with some success.  All in all some definite improvement here!
