Senior moves, counter figure and rocker footwork

It occured to me that I only have jumps and spins uploaded, and no moves or footwork whatsoever. So here you are!

First clip: Senior MITF test pattern. Quick step sequence. Only the back half of the CCW circle. This was last summer. I am aiming to test Senior MIF this spring.

Second clip: Senior MITF test pattern. Outside double three turns, power pulls, inside double rockers.

Third clip: Paragraph forward outside counter figure. Serpentine figure is FO lobe, FO counter, hold for entire circle, step to BO lobe, BO counter, hold for entire circle. Nowhere near test quality, I was just messing around. :)

Fourth clip: A bit of footwork from my program. LFO rocker, cross front, change edge, RBO 3, repeat.

Did you already pass your Novice moves in the field? What tips would you give for the counters? Do they have to point exactly down the ice for the test? Very good skating, you have!!!

[vesperholly]

Yes, I've passed both Novice and Junior. :) The counters don't have to point exactly down ice, the judges won't be able to see the print. But you do want to align them down the long axis. As far as tips for counters, a strong shoulder check and deep knee bend will help you a lot!

Eek, that loud SHHHH sound at the end really made me jump.

You rock!!! (BTW are those a dozen lost pounds I'm not seeing? You go girl!!!)

Sorry, I have no idea what happened to the stinkin' video! It works fine on my computer, but YouTube doesn't approve, I guess. :P

I don't know about pounds ... these clips are actually from my svelte summer. :) I've put on a wee winter coating for warmth.

Wait, so you mean to say you have passed up to everything but senior? HOLY CRAP! lol

[vesperholly]

Yep! I like moves. :)

[Figureicee]

wow! how long have you been working at it?

I just passed preliminary MITF this morning lol

[kamwrites]

@jfluter You should definitely enter competitions. You only think you're enjoying it now, competing and testing can get addictive. LOL! Good luck!

[jfluter]

Wow! Great job! I'm a beginning adult skater (ISI Alpha/Beta) and hope to skate 1/2 as well as you do. I'm totally loving skating, and have been thinking about entering a competition or two in the future.

[DontCallMeChrissy]

I know what you mean by not having to point exactly down the ice but what do you mean by "aligning them down the long axis"? Isn't that the same thing as pointing down the ice?

[DontCallMeChrissy]

Thanks!!!

[Luukashism]

Wow, you're a REALLY NICE SKATER!!! :) Hope I'll be as good as you some day, I just started working on Junior Moves so, I guess I might not be that far, but, you're probably still better! :)

[Skittl1321]

That was fantastic!

[starsesthetic]

Wow that is amazing.
