F8, BO8

 My figures lesson with Danette on the Chandler adult skate.  Nice ice, 6 skaters.  I scribed circles and  warmed up with forward edges and BO edges.

Today's lesson:

  • BI edges -- just to finish up the edges.  Pretty nice, actually.  Danette said I had good flow.  I do need to work on making the lobe sizes more consistent though.
  • FO8 -- we actually made some progress on improving my posture and this also helped my flow, I got around about 3/4 of the circle.  I still need to get a better push.
  • FI8 -- as usual these feel much better and I was making alllmoost all the way around the circle.
  • BO8 -- Actually not that bad.  I did manage to push my feet out from under me on the transition to the LBO.  Lol.  
My takeaway from all this is that I really can fix some of these longstanding issues but I need to be more focused and consistent.
