Edges, FO8

 My lesson with Danette on the Chandler adult skate. Beautiful ice and just 5 skaters.  I was first lesson, so no warmup.

Today's lesson:

  • edges -- FO8 & FI8 mostly okay.  Before we started back edges we took some time to work on just pushing onto a back edge and going straight down the line.  It's really hard for me to keep this position with the skating shoulder held back.  Eeep.  Then we went on to BO edges (not too bad) and BI (pretty nice, actually).
  • FO8 -- just a couple of minutes on these.  Still not making it around the circle; posture needs work.
