We use to do a thread every week on how everyones skating is going. So I thought I would start a new thread to see how everyone is doing with their skating.
I've been back on the ice now for about two months since my "retirement". I'm still working on my adult bronze mif test and I feel I am getting more power and speed. I'm trying to work on my upper body keeping my head up and eyes forward. Still not sure when I want to test again.
As for my jumps and spins they were pretty good today. I am able to keep my camel spin going (6-7 rev) and I am working on a camel, sit spin combo. My back spin today was the best I have done. I am getting the hang of it and am finally spinning more then two times around!
I have a bad habit on my loop jump of putting my free foot down when I land the jump. But today I was able to do my loop jump (4 times) without putting my foot down. Yes, I landed my loop jump on one foot!
Let us know how your skating is going.
