Another Practice Day

Sneaking in some ice time in a busy summer schedule.   Next week I will be back on a daily schedule..... I hope.

Ran through all my Silver MIF and each single jump (Axel excluded of course).  Working on a few things.  Cannonball sit spin for one.

  3. You will do great on the Silver MIF! And on the freestyle when the time comes :)

    My coach thinks I'll be ready for Pre-Bronze MIF by 28 AUG 14. Then she suggested I do the freestyle test after the MIF test on the same day. Have to learn another jump, and the scratch spin.

    After yesterday's practice...I think I am going to move both of those to the testing in OCT. Right knee giving me too many issues on right three turn of waltz 8. Just would not lift to pivot...and was causing me to two foot it...even with two Advil an hour before practice. :( I did try a "sit" spin although it was more like a "squat" spin and I managed to pull that off a couple of times... ;)

    Good luck on your test!
