3s/Power-3

My lesson with Holly on the Gilbert adult skate.  I warmed up with stroking and slaloms, then did circle-8, waltz jump and spins.

For today's lesson we focused on my 3s in the context of the power-3, and then by themselves.  As we found last week, making me actually do a "real" BXO on the back lobe not only is important in itself but helps the 3.  We then spent some time getting me to try to have more control on the 3 itself and to place it better in the lobe.  Ugh!  We spent a fair amount of time on this without a lot to show for it.

I think we came to the conclusion that one possible issue is that I am not getting a very deep RFO edge.  It's not secure, and I think that's one reason I tend to rush the RFO3.  The LFO3 is better in part because I lean into it more (and it's my natural rotation direction of course).

I think we'll try to spend some time on that.  Unfortunately with Fiesta this coming weekend and other stuff going on I won't get much time to skate this week.
