But why is it that I'm always the straight man in the routine????

In actuality, we help each other a lot. CFP makes me be more relaxed and more expressive on ice. I think (although she may not agree) I get CFP to drill more on the basics (that she tends to ignore).

Our differences are that she was doing b.c.o. when she was 6 & I was just starteing to skate when I was 46! She moves more naturally than I do and flows on the ice. I drill ad-nauseum until I feel comfortable with a single element.

Well, you could always trade places w/CFP and be the one doing the camera work and the running commentary! Or, if she won't let you do that, then more ehrm... hand gestures.....

I have quite a few videos I've taken of CFP, but they aren't for me to post. I'd like to, but I know better. I'll encourage her to share.

BTW, she's better at the hand gestures that I am!

cool! what did you do differently?

ok,russiet, if i'm going to be 'on camera' more, i shall get more creative with my commentary!
don't let him fool you,,, you should see how he puffs up when he knows i'm taping him ... but it's good for his posture! he also likes to wear pink tiara's when he skates,,, i have proof. if i can ever figure out to get them 'here'... ha ha,, i have some goodies!
i love skating backward, he loves skating forward, so yeah, we help each other....but i'm not the princess at our arena, HE is, so no movies of me,, unless seeking advice..

I have an idea....you should start a series "How to..." skating moves! Start from the very basics. (even funnier would be a series "What NOT TO DO..." a commentary of common skating mistakes... or how to deal with other skaters...how to hip-check annoying hockey boys and their dads, etc.). Anyway, I love your commentary! It's hilarious!

Yes. Picking up the crossing foot is a matter of style. Some do and some don't. I prefer not to, but picking up that foot can be a good teaching/learning technique.
