Moves

My lesson with JJ on the 10 a.m. FS at Gilbert.  I had the day off today so I moved my lesson to today.

Today's lesson:

• perimeter stroking -- this is actually looking a lot better.  JJ reminded me not to do too many BXOs in the end pattern.  I actually managed to run through it more-or-less correctly once without stopping and then we worked a bunch of small issues.  I mostly just need lots more practice so I'll be more confident.
• BXOs to BO edges -- we worked on getting the RBO to go more diagonal/down ice (the LBO is fine).  I guess the summary on that is that I need to bring the L leg back and hold it, not let it rotate me around so that I curve so much.  I've fixed most of the other stuff on this move and fixing the RBO also fixes the issue of me not coming out to the center enough.
• 5-step mohawk -- this is actually coming along, finally.  The R side is pretty good (for me), JJ pointed out I need to hold the 4th and (esp.) 5th step longer so that I get all the way back to the long axis.  The L side mohawk itself is kinda sucky but if I remember to keep my head up it's better.

I'm realizing one of the things that I am most missing on this is running the whole test from beginning to end without stopping.  I need to start doing that in my practices.
