Edges, F8s, Again

 My figures lesson with Danette on the adult freestyle at Chandler.  Beautiful ice and just 3 skaters.  I was running late, so I just scribed some circles but didn't have time for warmup.  Off the ice for two weeks and also I got my blades sharpened this weekend.

Today's lesson:

  • edges -- no warmup, so a bit rough.  Edges felt more secure (yay) but posture still needs a lot of work; mostly on FO.
  • FO8 -- not getting around the circle, and still need to improve posture (it did improve though).
  • FI8 -- not too bad, but still need a stronger push and better posture.
I really need more practice time!
