Moves

 My lesson with Holly on the 9 a.m. FS at CCIC.  Private ice!

School etc. has really played havoc with my skating the last few weeks and boy was I rough!  Yuck.

Today's lesson:

  • perimeter XOs -- actually not bad.  I stayed on pattern pretty well.  Need to generate more power in the BXOs and it would be good to get lower on the FXOs.
  • BXOs to BO edges --  pattern was good, but they are slow.  Holly wants me to pull the free arm back more on the BO edge, especially on the R side.
  • circle-8 -- meh.  Not making it around.
  • 5-step mohawk -- L side mohawk is pretty jumped, R is better.  Need to stay down in the knees.  Pattern was okay though.
