Edges & 8s

 My figures lesson with Danette on the Chandler adult skate. Nice ice, 11 skaters.  I was running late so I scribed circles but didn't get any warmup done.

Today's lesson

• FO edges -- posture issues, and Danette said it was slow.  So we moved to..
• FO8 -- we worked these a bunch.  Still having issues with posture (not standing up straight).  It took me a while to get on a good edge.  Bleah
• FI edges -- Mostly nice.
• FI8 -- These were actually pretty good, all things considered.  Still need to work on standing up straight immediately after the initial push.
• BO edges -- pretty okay.
• Push posture exercise -- this is the push to a back flat, arms out to each side and look at each hand.  Forward is okay.  Back, I still wind up curving to whatever side I look toward first.  Ack.
