BO Push, BO8
My figures lesson with Danette on the Chandler adult skate. The ice was GORGEOUS. 6 skaters I scribed circles and warmed up with edges.
Today's lesson:
- BO edges -- we ran these some more because I wasn't happy with them in my warmup. They did improve a bit.
- BO push -- we transitioned into just working specifically on the BO initial push/start, as Danette noticed my initial BO edge push wasn't starting perpendicular to the axis. So we worked these quite a bit on the circle to get a a better push and position and a better edge that actually followed the circle. We did a bunch and it did actually get better.
- BO8 -- from there we worked on BO8, mostly holding the stick but without at the end. The work we'd done did help but I'm still having some posture issues, need to not break forward. I've also noticed I bend my knees much better on subsequent pushes than I do on the initial push. Bleah.
