RFO Power 3s
My lesson with JJ on the 8:15 FS at Gilbert.
Today's lesson was just the RFO3 side of the Bronze power-3s. JJ was shocked because I actually ASKED him to bring Le Stick. (Le Stic? lol). So we spent our whole lesson working through the right side of the power-3s.
I realized a little ways into this that part of my issue is that I would finish the BXO and then pause on the LBI before stepping forward -- which is where I would get stuck. So part of the solution is to slow down the BXO and then immediately step forward to the RFO. This actually worked! I worked through it two or 3 times. The lobes are really shallow and the 3s are way early... but they happened. So that's real progress. Much more work to do but I'm feeling more optimistic about this.
I talked with JJ about our status of these moves. The plan for now is to try to get a critique of my moves in December sometime, and then if that's okay we'll work on testing in January. Then I will have to throw my free skate back together in time for MidWinter. Eeep!

Gordon: It might help you from turning your FO3 early if you count 1-2-3-turn (like for the Waltz-8). I probably move my lips and look funny when I do this but so far no one has pointed that out to me!

George, thanks. I've tried that. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't. I'm a musician so I can count to 3 as fast or slow as I want :-)
