B8s

 My figures lesson with Danette on the Chandler adult skate.  Nice ice, 10 skaters.  I scribed circles and warmed up with edges.  They were pretty good, actually.

Today's lesson:

• BI8 -- Most of our lesson.  The initial push is getting better. Key correction for today is to keep the free hip BACK more to keep from being too square and spiraling in to the center.  This really helped.  In addition, working to keep the free arm/shoulder more firmly back as well.  It's the whole position.
• BO8 -- Just a few minutes on these. Need to keep the free hip up here also, to stay on that edge and not get pulled onto flast.
• Push practice  -- a couple minutes on the wall practicing these back scooter pushes.  I really stink at this -- not having a top toepick makes it harder, for sure.
