Spins
My lesson with JJ on the 8:15 FS at Gilbert.
Today's lesson:
Today's lesson:
- PCAS debrief -- we took some time to discuss my PCAS skate and how it went, and future plans.
- backspin -- we spent a fair amount of time doing some wall exercises to prep the backspin. Ugh! This seems really scary to me... grrr. Basically, just holding the feet crossed and finding the rocker; this is really hard for me. Also he suggested some stretches (FXO position, basically) that will help.
- sitspin -- just a couple of minutes looking at this; JJ said that I need to feel the glute engage to get a good sitspin, not just the quads. Hmm.

Gordon: Take a look at the two posts on my blog around March the 8th for some good stretching tips:

Hey Gordon: Your 10th skaterverisary is coming up soon. You've gotta dish on how you plan to spend it. Inquiring minds wanna know...
PS: ditch the annoying capcha. I really doubt if you'll get all that much spam. I don't all that much on either of my blogs without it. Capcha drives bloggers with eyesight of a certain age nuts!

Haven't decided about the anniversary.
Capcha is a blogger default, I'm not entirely sure how to turn it off. I actually do occasionally get spam even with the capcha.

Gordon: Read this post about capcha:

If you decide to turn off that function, the instructions on how to do so are in a link within the article. Like most defaults, this one can be defeated. I find that my blogs get more comments with out capcha and the offensive ones (very small number) are easily deleted.
