| 11:18a | The joys of skating CW So doing waltz jumps today my coach asked me, "Why do you feel like you need to stop your backwards moves with a back snowplow stop (rather than step forward and do a t-stop)? You are perfectly comfortable with that step from backward to forward on this jump" My response "I go a heck of a lot faster on my moves". So she had me do the step into the waltz jump WAY faster (then I was too scared to jump) but she pointed out that still, I could step forward effortlessly. Then I realized something, laughed, and said "but on my moves, I exit on the other foot!" URGH! (However, she said a clean back snowplow without toe pick noise is fine.) More on the fantastic lesson I had today (not fantastic in skated well, but fantastic in I got a lot out of it) later, if I remember. |
