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!
