All I want for Christmas is....

Okay skaters, here's your chance to wish for what you want for Christmas skating wise!

All I want for Christmas is a reliable and low enough sit spin, as well as a solid "go" date for my Bronze moves test.

Oh, where to begin???? I would love a backspin, because my coach won't start me on certain jumps without it.....if they are all sold out of that, then please, find me a loop (any size will do). For my birthday (which is coming up at the speed of light so I can wait ), I'd like a sitspin.

Dear Santa!

I've been a really, REALLY good girl! I practice 5 days a week and put in a lot of hours on the ice. This is my Christmas list for this year!
  • My Bronze Moves elements to be "KICK-### test" ready!!!
  • A consistent loop
  • A pass on both my Bronze Moves and FS for AN 2006. It's been a long time coming and "DARN IT, I DESERVE IT!!!"
  • Nerves of steel...so I can stay calm thru-out the test so I can calm knock off all my elements one by one...
Thank you Santa...and to you, a holiday Christmas...

Hmm, I hope Santa can give more than one better sit spin! I need mine lower, the rest is ok. I'd also like a solid backspin. Planning on testing Bronze freeskate prior to the end of life on earth.

Dear Santa,

For Christmas, I would like:
Good health (for a change) for my family and friends.
Students that listen and try new things without complaints.
Support and encouragement of friends and family.

Oh, and some time each week to skate for ME! Not as a teacher. Not as a Mom. Just me.

I've been as good as I could be this year. Have a safe trip!

hey big guy -

I did some favors for you this year, now it's payback time! I want:

4 revolutions on my camel;

a smooth transition in the camel/back sit that doesn't make me look like I'm dry heaving or frozen in terror;

I'd like my sal/loop back to normal without cutting the loop to a half loop or spinning out of my landing;

I'd like a smoother lutz;

and, dream of all dreams, I'd like an axel please!

I want to be able to do my camel as well as I did the other day so that it spins and spins and feels effortless.

I want to lose my fear on my lutz-loop so that it works easier. My "relaxed" attempts are always my best.

Of course I'd love my axel but I don't really deserve it as I've not been working on it recently.

A consistent lutz-loop combo
A sit-back sit combo spin
A camel spin
More hip flexibility so I can do open mohawks with ease and maybe, just maybe, do a spread eagle.
From now on, allow me to subtract birthdays rather than add them.

Dear Santa:

I've been a really, really good girl this year and have worked very hard at home, at work and at play. I'm trying to be the best person, wife, and mommy I can be.

Would you please help me to get passed some of my fear? Please?? Then I could do the waltz jump and the choctaw in my spin set-up. I am aware that there is no physical reason for me not to do these things -- I'm in the proper positions and have practiced and practiced and practiced... I think that if the fear was gone and I did these things once or twice, I'd be ok... Please??

Thank you so much and Merry Christmas,
Quarkiki

Dear Santa -

I'm going to sound like I'm asking for a lot, but if you could find ANY way to get me a new rink to skate at I would be so happy! The only other thing that would make me happier would be to find a way to have my old rink restored so I can skate with my coach, but if this is not possible if you could wrap up a new coach that will suit me perfectly and leave him or her under my tree this would be the bestest christmas ever!

Dear Santa

I should like
  • to be able to do 3-turns and Mohawks at speed solo
  • to have really good, steep, secure back outside edges
  • to be able to lift my free leg higher and point my toes
  • a spin
  • a spin for my husband, too, even though his is better than mine
and above all, please, pretty please with sugar on it and a cherry on the top
  • to beat the P*****s in compulsory dance at least once next year!

Dear Santa,
Please give me new knee cartilage for Christmas this year. I know I haven't been a very good girl this year, but if my knees get better, I promise I will be! I don't even care about not getting that axel I requested for the last couple of years. I'd just like to be able to go 10 days without my knees looking like melons.

Hello to Mrs. Claus. Looking forward to seeing her at the Pampered Chef party.

When you're good, you're good. When you're bad, you're even better!

Also, while we're wishing, boots that don't kill my feet!

  • The ability to trust my body to do what it knows to do on my jumps!
  • Smoother, stronger, light-picking lutz
  • Jump as well on-ice as I do off-ice
  • Be able to get my knee all the way through on my axel
  • New skates!
