Moves

My lesson with Holly on the Gilbert adult skate.  Nice ice and just two of us for most of the session. I warmed up with stroking, perimeter XOs, circle-8 and BXOs to BO edges.

Today's lesson:

• circle-8 -- I was able to get around okay although the RFO is still weak.
• power-3s -- meh.  The 3 is still too early in the lobe, but the back lobe is improving.
• BXOs to BO edges -- these were actually not bad at all.  My flow has improved and even the RBO is looking a lot steadier and I'm not on my toe nearly as much.
• 5-step mohawk -- this is slowly improving, but it's not consistent.  We spent some time just working on the mohawk.  On the L mohawk I still tend to do the "flamingo leg" as I come off the L leg.  Holly thinks I should try to have more curve on the LFI edge before the mohawk.
• perimeter XOs -- just a couple of minutes on these.  They are actually improving and the flow is better.  The mohawk from the forward to backward halves of the move is pretty wonky though.  Ugh.
