FO8, FI8, BO8

My lesson with Danette on the 8:30 FS at Chandler.  Ice was not too bad all things considered.  4 skaters.

I warmed up with edges, scribed circles, then worked on FO8 and FI8.

Today's lesson:

• FO8 -- still working on posture and flow.  I was having trouble getting around on these, especially the RFO.  They did improve quite a bit. We also worked on getting the subsequent pushes to be closer to the long axis.  I really have to work to wait until the tail of the new skating foot blade is at the long axis.  Eeep.
• FI8 -- these are a lot nicer.
• BO8 -- we worked on these for a bit, then worked them on the wall before coming back.  I'm having a very hard time controlling the upper body swing, especially on the RBO.  On the positive side I feel like I'm bending into both the initial push and the subsequent pushes better, so yay me!
