B8s

 My figures lesson with Danette on the Chandler adult skate. Nice ice, 5 skaters. I scribed circles, but only got through the F edges as I was running a little late.

Today's lesson:

  • B edges -- not bad, actually.  Good speed and flow.  We re-did the BI edges to work a bit more on being consistent with scooping the free leg to the front and not just next to the skating foot.  
  • BO edges -- push was a bit improved (though still lacking).  Still working on upper body posture and leaning into the circle a bit more.
  • BI edges -- we worked on starting the initial RBI more perpendicular to the long access and to make it a better edge, not so flat.  Some progress on this.
