Say,in your own words,what do you yourself feel like when your lifted in Skating? It can either be in Synchro.,Pairs,or even Dance. Please say what level you are,along with your Discipline. Ok..go.

Utter terror. Is he going to drop me (it has been known!)?
A sack of coal. He grunts when he lifts me. Hey, I'm not that heavy!

Like flying - light and airy. With a good partner you can't feel the edges or steps as he turns.

For synchro lifts (in exhibition only - my collegiate team can't do lifts in competition :roll:)...

I usually feel:
* strong (arms, legs, core, etc.)
* relaxed and trusting
* dizzy when I accidently look at the ceiling while spinning ;)

SCARY 8O I did a platter lift once and went over my partner's head 8O

So after that I developed a fear from lifting :giveup:

But I love getting thrown though :D
