Skater Stupid...

I never updated my lessons this week: not much happened. 

So I have a problem I call "Skater Stupid".  This shows itself in various ways.  The main one is having no idea my left from right,  or which foot or hand should do certain things.  I often wear two different color gloves so Carson can say "the pink hand" (it doesn't help that very rarely he says the CCW way, not the CW one.) 

The other:  I get told to do a flip or 1/2 flip, and it isn't until after I've put my toepick in I realize I'm doing a toe loop.  I came up with a solution. 

I crystaled the bottom of my lace on my left boot.  This is the foot I 3-turn on for the toe loop, and thus hold up in front of me before I turn.  If I see crystals, I know it is for the good jump- if I'm trying to do a flip, I need to switch feet!
