F8s, Posture

 My figures lesson with Danette on the Chandler adult skate.  Nice ice, 7 skaters.  I scribed circle and warmed up with forward edges.

Today's lesson:

• FO8 -- we started by just working a long FO edge without worrying about the push, to try to work on posture.  Just some pushes followed by a long glide on the circle.  LFO was okay, but trying to stand fully straight up without bending forward on the RFO was tough.  Also I was tending to lean out of the circle, which made me go flat and skid.  Yuck.  Then we worked just the regular FO8 and it was a bit better.
• B edges -- from there we went back to the line and did BO and BI edges.  They were not bad, actually.
