Test, BO8, Serpentines

My figures lesson with Lynne on the Chandler coffee club.  Only 3 skaters so it was a good environment.

Before Lynne came on the ice I ran through my edges, then scribed some circles and worked on FO8.

Today's lesson:

• FI8 -- not bad, actually.  I'm still working on filling out my circles better ( a little rough) and settling the upper body a bit.
• waltz-8 -- we are back to working on this a lot.  Grr.  My 3s are really not so hot.  The RFO3 is very forced, in particular, and my old problems with the step forward haven't changed.  I'm not sure what I need to do to fix these, really, other than practice, but I feel like I practice and practice and things don't get fixed.
• BO8 -- ugh.  These used to be pretty nice, but not right now.  They are improving though.
• serpentine -- just a couple of minutes on these... allllmost made it around on the R foot to the change of foot.  Not so great on the L foot, my push is lacking and I'm back to losing too much on the change of edge.

After my lesson I just had a couple of minutes so I worked on 3s to center.  Eeep.
