About left forward inside 3s, if you are all counter-clockwise spinners, like myself, they're probably harder than left ones because you have to turn to the "right", where as us counter-clockwisers spin to the left.

singerskates said:My club still has ice but we had a three week break just before Adult Canadians which made me have to scramble for ice time so I could get ready to compete in them. It turned out not to be enough because I had two injuries going on; right rotator cuff and left over use/pinched nerve shoulder. I had a hard time controlling jump and spin enteries and exists. My injuries still have not totally healed but I'm able to controll my jumps and spins better now. But I still skated better than last year in my freeskate event, landing all my combination jumps, all jumps upto loop clean and fully rotated lutz but two footed at Adult Canadians. My flip was my final jump and I messed it up royally because of the reaction the audience gave me when I landed the loop clean coming out of fast footwork. By then my consentration was gone and I was too excited. That was enough to end up 7th out of 8. The top 6 had 4 combination jumps or more and repeated jumps more than once or twice. I was out jumped.
We've got ice three days a week for senior skaters and junior skaters have ice twice a week.
I'm the only adult figure skater at my club but there is one adult hockey drills/power skater. Both of us are women. If you happen to live in the Windsor/Tecumseh Ontario Canada Area and are looking for for a club with which ti skate, please PM me.
Right now, I'm working on my jump landings trying to clean them up because I have full rotation up to the lutz but I two foot my flip and lutz. Plus for the axel I need to learn to pull my free side up more than once, once of the right (taking off ) and twice on the left (once during conversion in air and once on landing). So I really need to cllean up my act. No more sloopy jumps. I'm also working on perfecting my backspin and getting my camel spin going. All this so I can pass my prelim test at the end of spring skating school.
For fall, I have to work on the positioning of my layback spin, get my sitspin on both feet at 90 degrees., have a sit change sit spin, try to get my free leg up higher in my catch foot spin, work on the axel and double salchow and flying spins for the 2005/2006 season. But I just may keep on competing at the prelim level even though, I will have junior bronze elements. Then spring of 2006 I want to try taking my junior bronze FS test. Some time I need to take my skills and finish the rest of my prelim and all of my junior bronze dances. I plan on becoming a skating coach someday.
