Hi everyone!
This summer has been a successful one in terms of passing a bunch of important tests. I got my silver and gold interpretives, viennese, and silver samba. My next test day will be on August 12th and I'm pretty sure my coach will have me test a dance. I would like to test something else as well since I have a lot of time to practice leading up to the test. However, I'm not nearly ready to test my Gold skills. That leaves either my Junior Silver Freeskate or Senior Silver Elements. I would LOVE to test my Senior Silver Elements, yet, IMO they're the most difficult of the freeskate tests. I have hardly worked on any of the required elements (starred elements mean I need HELP!!!):
Axel
Double Toe
Two of: Double loop*, double flip, double lutz
Camel change camel (5 rotations minimum)*
Flying Camel Back-sit*
Combo spin (3 positions)
Plus stroking, footwork, and field moves
If I decide to test my Sr. Silver elements, does anyone have any suggestions or tips on, most importantly, the spins???
HELP!!! Thanks all!!
