I am really happy with all of it. #1 ... I passed and I got good constructive critiques which I will keep in mind for the future. Our skating community is rather small in comparison to other cities.

I agree with y...You are such a natural on the ice!<br /><br />I agree with you about hating that two foot spin. I hadn't done one in so long when I did my test, it seemed so unnatural.<br /><br />You should ask your coach to work with you on stepping INTO the circle for your scratch spin. That will help you center.Jessimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05442665425448000014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-866409242270507018.post-15636526537981212342012-03-28T08:30:39.476-07:002012-03-28T08:30:39.476-07:00Here Here....

Click on the link at the top of my page: http://www.waltzjump.com/p/little-about-me-and-my-skating-history.html - That's my story...... <br /><br />Everyone is different when it comes to learning skating (or anything really). When I was younger I spent a lot of time watching more advanced skaters and trying to learn from their practice sessions. (I could not afford frequent lessons) .. There is probably about 4 years skating experience total in me, but much of that was 1x week when I was young. Keep trying. Push yourself to work hard on the direction you don't normally skate in.Waltz Jumpshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14032893356125953149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-866409242270507018.post-11795705369836405642012-03-28T06:16:45.853-07:002012-03-28T06:16:45.853-07:00Nicely done!

Your skating looks beautiful...I just want to see how long it might take me to get where you are...I'm new at skating at 38, but before my lesson started I already was natural with forward and backward skating and turns...I am thru the crossovers, backward crossovers, and now on the waltz jump, 2 foot spin, and just learned 3 turns yesterday..Coach was happy as she mentioned I seemed to pick it up really fast ....I've been skating 1 1/2 months..Jamie's Jewelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681047828556254072noreply@blogger.com
