I passed my Bronze Moves today. I passed everything the first time with no reskates i was so happy. I didnt think i would pass since i have been in the middle of a move and have been so tired and havent had much time to practice as of late. I felt like it was a pretty good skate. The judges comments were:
Forward Perimeter Crossover Stroking:
I felt like this move went pretty well.
Judge 1: 2.7 - Nice
Judge 2: 2.6 - Nice Flow, Strength OK, Extension Ok
Judge 3: 2.5 - Good Flow and strength, ok extension and power maintained
Backward Perimeter Crossover Stroking
This move also went pretty smoothe for me.
Judge 1: 2.7 - Nice soft knee
Judge 2: 2.5 - Edge quality OK, Nice flow, some bending forward
Judge 3: 2.5 - Flow and strength ok, edge quality good
Forward Power 3 Turns
This was one of my weakest elements i knew it was going to be. I got the first side ok then the right 3 turns were a bit of a stuggle.
Judge 1: 2.3 - dont whip 3 turns
Judge 2: 2.5 - Flow ok, swinging 3's, free leg swinging wide
Judge 3: 2.5 - L-continuous flow and strength maintained, R- not as good but ok
Alternating Back Crossovers to Back Outside Edges
This one felt good to me except on the second side of the rink i almost fell i lost my balance on one and almost fell down but i didnt and i continued the edge and recovered on the next edge so i dont think the judges paid much attention to it.
Judge 1: 2.6 - fine but some scratching, nice knees
Judge 2: 2.5+ - even flow, strength ok
Judge 3: 2.6 - good flow and strength, good extension
Five Step Mohawk Sequence
I was so tired during this move i did it good in practice but got a little wobbly on it during the test and on one mohawk i had a wobbly almost fall like the previous element but held it together as well and recovered.
Judge 1: 2.5 - wide stepping a speck, nice knees
Judge 2: 2.5 - watch timing
Judge 3: 2.5 - Edge Quality good, Extension ok, Cadence good
Judge 1 also wrote on the bottom of the sheet Keep up the nice work. I am so happy to have this test behind me. I am going to work on those darn jumps the flip is one that is giving me problems i am going to shoot for taking the freeskate test in November if i can get the jumps and spins where they need to be for it. My coach told me i was testing this two days after i tested my prebronze tests i was like what the test was 3 weeks away and i hadnt even started on these moves yet but she thought i could do it so i signed up and worked hard i am glad i listened to her now i have the moves behind me and can get ready for the freeskate. Hopefully i can pass it in november so i can go to nationals next year. Just wanted to share my good news. Gena :D :D :D
