Spins
My lesson with Holly on the 8:15 FS at Gilbert. Ice was a bit beat up. About 5 skaters and 3 coaches.
I warmed up with Bronze moves (all but circle-8). Hey, at least I am making myself do the power-3s!
For today's lesson we spent most of it on spins, all from the windup. Holly reminded me to do a "real" BXO into it and not be lazy :-). Keep the head up, bring the hands in and up. Toward the end we got some that she was happier with but I'm not too convinced. Oh well.
We had thought there was an issue with the alignment on my L blade, but in looking at it today we couldn't find anything wrong, so I'll leave it alone. I do want to get the heel of my R boot punched out a bit as it is grabbing the sides of my heel and it doesn't feel like my heel is on the floor of the boot.
No lesson for me next week (traveling to Spokane for sectionals!) but in two weeks we'll be back and it's time to get started on a new free skate!
