Skating Again

I'm still skating.
I still suck.
I still can't do a backspin.
And I still toe waltz instead of toe loop.
But my scratch spin is centered again :)
(Proper stroking technique at the end of video for Jessi showing how you change from and outside edge to an inside edge on the transistion. Well, if my knees were bent more it would be proper technique.)

Oh girl, please DON'T give up.

Skating is NOT as easy as it looks.

Be proud of yourself that you can do, what a

Lot of people wish they could. :)

Love skating and think how it makes you feel afterwards.

Good Luck :)

If it makes you feel any better, I've been skating for a year & a half & STILL at Freestyle 1 now... if that...actually between Delta & Freestyle 1 because I insisted on holding the wall for dear life last year & it slowed my progress. I'm watching this to try to get the half flip down, which I think may be the end of me.

Thanks everyone! I was trying backspins, I even got my blade moved recently and still can't do them - They are so easy on my kitchen floor I don't understand why they are sooooo hard on ice!

Great scratch spin!

Where was this?

[Skittl1321]

your half flip looks like mine. was the two foot spin to one foot a backspin? those are my enemy. and i'm finally not toe waltzing (at low speeds)-getting the pivot on its own was the key. i hate that pivot. thanks for showing me the stroking, i change the edge as part of the weight shift, but i dont bring my knees in quite the same.  Your skating looks good.
