So...I have a knee pad (thank goodness), but my new artistic program ends with a knee slide.
At first my coach wanted a lunge, 180 degree turn in lunge, then sideways knee slide. She gave up on the 180 (I'd only actually attempted THAT twice prior and the competition is in two weeks), but my problem is that my knee slide kind of spins as it slides. Not that I can't handle a bit of rotation, but it's not the intention and I never actually know which way I'll be facing at the end. And I have no idea how judges would take that. It would be nice to have a bit more consistency.
Any suggestions?
I should add that the knee slide comes after a long spiral and drag with no extra propulsion added partway through, so there's only so much speed I can go into this with.
