Perseverance

I skated the 7:30 a.m. FS at Chandler for freestyle practice.  Just 3 of us so a nice session.

I spent the first half hour working on moves.  In looking at my test feedback it is clear I need to work on being more comfy skating backward, esp. with a little speed.  Indeed I worked for a bit just on BO edges (something I really don't do anymore in my FS blades) and I really am getting up on my toe.  In my patch blades, I don't have this problem.  Grr.  So I spent some time on that, and a bit on power-3s and perimeter XOs.

For the second half hour I spent 10 minutes each on toe loop, salchow and spins.  Meh.  Nothing horribly great there.
