Preliminary Test

 My figures lesson with Danette on the Chandler adult skate.  I scribed circles and warmed up with forward edges.

For today's lesson, Danette decided to continue running through the Preliminary figures test:

  • B edges -- pretty nice, actually.  I'm doing a better job on the BO edges of getting the free foot in front at the beginning.  The first push on the BI was also better.
  • FO8 -- okay.  Posture was a little better, but still not making it around.  Urph.
  • FI8 -- As usual, better than the FO8.  Still not making it around the circle but flow and posture is better.
  • waltz-8 -- just 3 minutes or so on these.  Eeep.  No bueno.
