Hi everyone, ![Slightly smiling face :slight_smile: 🙂](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png)
♥
I'm new here and I just started skating 2 months ago. I have private lessons twice a week and I'm skating about 8 hours a week.
I progressed quickly and can do all the elements in freestyle one (waltz jump, pivot, backward outside and inside edges, half flip, spiral) and the thing I cannot do consistently or well is the two foot spin.![Loudly crying face :sob: 😭](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f62d.png)
I have my first ever test in 2 weeks and I really want to pass freestyle one so I can qualify for the competition in 2 months.
My coach says I need to glide longer before the spin and I agree. But I keep traveling and I notice I tend to dip my left shoulder. I need to be able to do 6 rotations but even when I do it my best, it's usually only 5.
Today was my first day in my new edea chorus boots with mk professional blades, and trust me-this has improved my spin A LOT! (Before I was literally falling over and catching the blades in the ice and couldn't spin at all)![Face with tears of joy :joy: 😂](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f602.png)

Until yesterday, I was in Jackson mystique, and today was my first try in my new skates.

Please help me. I am so worried that I will not pass, and I've extended my accommodation here 6 weeks more -banking on doing the competition... So i really feel pressure to pass the test, otherwise it's £600 down the drain for extending my stay. And the skates the same price again![Loudly crying face :sob: 😭](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f62d.png)

Here are some videos of the pivot entry (better) and the glide entry (worse-but this is the one i need to do for the test)
Thank you so much in advance![Folded hands :pray: 🙏](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f64f.png)
