FO8, BO8, BI8

 My figures lesson with Danette on the Chandler 9:45 a.m. FS.  Beyootiful ice and just 3 skaters.  I warmed up with edges and scribed circles.

Today's lesson:

• FO8 -- these were not so great last week, so we dived in.  Much improvement (having good ice helped).  When I have problems with these it's almost always weak posture.  We also worked a little on getting a better push.
• BO8 -- nice flow on these.  Again, more work on posture and controlling swing in the upper body. Eeep.  They're fun tho. We worked on leaning into the circle more.
• BI8 -- just a couple of minutes on these.  Small circles.  Flow was okay, but again, posture, and really bending to push into the new circle.
