Figure skating practice - October 10, 2008

Figure skating practice on October 10, 2008. Nothing fancy or over-the-top dramatic, just some really boring fundamental stuff.. mainly two-foot spins, some pictures of spread eagles (which I'm currently working on) and my all-time favourite shoot-the-duck (self-taught).

I'm really sub-standard and I totally suck so constructive feedback on my two-foot spins are definitely welcome. Please rate and comment, and lastly, no nasty/rude remarks. Thank you. :)

P.S. I know I'm really bad. I hate my entry cause I tend to glide/drag my foot for a while in a circle (like pivot-style even though I'm not exactly doing a pivot) before going into the spin. Am I not using enough force? Any advice at all? I'm desperate to improve! HELP!

P.P.S. Julia!!! Thanks to you Jellybeans partner, I'm no longer ignorant when it comes to the world of windows movie maker! Luv ya sweetie! :D

It was really good :]

Aw thanks. :) Actually this was just before I cracked my knees. So... it's been another eight months of hiatus from skating. That's sixteen months of non-skating since April 2007. Hence I am absolutely sure I have deteriorated since October seeing that I couldn't practise. I'm probably terrible now. I wouldn't put past four revolutions if I'm lucky now. I suck so much it's depressing. :(

i really want to learn ice - skating, but i just want to know how long will it take to pass the Pre-Alpha ,Alpha,Beta,Gamma,Delta

level?

Hello. :) Sure of course you can pick up ice skating! You just need lots of patience and passion. I can't advise you as to how long it will take, personally I took a really long time getting through to FS1 cause of my history of bad coaches and I was stuck on rental boots for a year too which affected my progress. You need to invest in good skating boots in order to progress faster. We only have one rink in the entire country and all are public sessions hence practice can be really hard for me.

This looks just so relaxed! I wish I'd look half as elegant on the ice rink.

ive been having skating lessons for about 10 weeks now but i could skate before that. i find the free/ waltz jump really hard and i am too scared to do it when i am going fast! i want to know how long did it take you to get to the single salco level?

Thanks ( :
