Edges, F8s

 My figures lesson with Danette on the Chandler Ice Cafe.  I had first lesson, so no warmup and I didn't scribe any circles. Nice ice and only 5 skaters :-)

Today's lesson:

  • edges -- Forward edges were mostly okay, still a little glitchy on the LFO.  Back edges were fine -- Danette reminded me to use the 'new' arm position so that I swing the R arm as I start.
  • FO8 -- meh.  I did get around the circles so that is something, but it's still not flowing as well as it used to.
  • FI8 -- real issues with the RFI on the last quarter or so of the circle.  LFI was mostly okay.
