For obvious reasons, I didn't practice any spins today! I worked on moves in the field and a few jumps. My Lutz jump failed attempts did not capture on the video ... too bad... they were beautiful 1/2 Lutz's ..... I'm back to my old fear of the Lutz jump again. Lesson Thursday.
A chronicle of my attempt at the world of "Adult Figure Skating"
On The Edge... Again
The last time I skated regularly, you needed 2 pair of skates, a scribe and skated patch. Triple jumps were almost unheard of, so were Bielman spins. Twizzles were only done by ice dancers and Ronald Regan was just elected into office.
Fast Forward 32 years. Starting January 2, 2012, I am back on the ice doing something else that was unheard of .... Adult Figure Skating. We had "coffee club", which was like adult swim, but there was no opportunity for testing or competition.
It has now been 8 years since I got back on the ice. I have not competed since 2016 , but my blog is still going. My YouTube channel has over 1600 subscribers. That’s just crazy!

Seis de Mayo
One day after cinco de mayo ... need I say more? I'm lucky I made it to the rink.

Would have loved to see some half Lutz jumps. I'm currently working on those.
ReplyDeleteJust look back on any other video I have where I was working on a Lutz... you will see plenty of 1/2 Lutz's !!!
