...to land my axel...

My Wish List this year.

• To maintain my health all the way thru AN and beyond so I can enjoy my very 1st AN.
• To enjoy my skating and my lessons with my NYC coach while I'm in NYC.
• To survive thru my celeb personal trainer too!
• To get new purple custom Harlicks skates.
• Consistently good loops, flip, and camels.
• To start landing my lutz? (Yeah, I know. I'm pushing my luck here. But this is a wish list, right?)

Thank you for the support, you guys!!!

Santa Baby, i've been good, so I think that you should, give me;

new boots and blades,
a backspin that traces circles instead of 3 turns (which the previous request might help somewhat),
a reliable lutz which doesn't have a weird double change of edge approach,
a new improved salchow,
an axel.
Oh and what the heck, I've been really good, so what about a double something?

Oh no, I do hope it gets better soon, we are so lucky in the uk, I have had no end of physio treatment and not paid for it.

sit spin

I can actually do a good, low (as in, bum on heel) sit (3 revs), but only straight after I do the back inside hydroblade (on my spinning edge) exercise like 2 or 3 times...

so I guess my wish is to have a consistent sitspin before christmas.

Great thread!

Some of mine are quite unrealistic:

--a job that allows me to go in later yet leave at the same time (haha) so I can skate at 8 a.m. every day

--Unlimited funds that will allow me to practice more, take one more lesson a week and go to out of state competitions

--a good backspin

--higher loops

--flips without mental block

My Christmas Wish List includes passing my last Pre-Gold dance, the Blues, and my Intermediate freestyle on December 12. Those would be great presents!

To pass my freakin' Killian!!

Santa.....please!


No more hip surgeries!!!
The ability to learn how to skate for the third time, to get back what I had and to move beyond...
To remember to take my time and not to push...
A very good sense of humor..

To pass Silver MIF!

I'd say passing Gold, too, but that would be pushing it a bit too much, I think.

And finally get a proper flip and lutz (which means curing myself of the habit of toe-picking twice before jumping), and get my sit spin, backspin (well, really, all my spins) back to where they were before I started spending most of my practice time on moves.

Gold Moves, here I come!

A new and healthy ankle and pic skates.

A back spin as I'm getting fed up of the coach telling me that it's improving and I've still not gone around more than once.
and while i'm at it i wouldn't mind a lutz and an axel for good measure.

A passing change-foot spin, so I can be ready to test FS3 in January (Feb is ok too!)

Santa, I only want one thing, but this has given to be a tall order....

I WANT TO PASS MY BRONZE FREE ON 12/14 SO I CAN GO TO AN!!!

Please, Santa- I've been busting my butt on sitspins all summer and fall!

Adult Nationals, 2009 "The Time of My Life"

Please, please Santa may I have:
The axel.
A consistant Lutz with a nice outside edge and without all the wobbling and flapping.
Faster and more centered spins.
Beautiful skating with powerful edges and turns, balletic posture, and graceful arms!

This is a big wish list!

- To have enough funds to keep skating through the year... I'm going to go along and pay with both eyes closed until nationals. After that I may have to take a long break
- To get my program choreographed in time
- To get my costume sewn in time
- Clean consistent double toe and double loop would be nice

Time to practice - with no major impact on my job! I'll happily take any progress that comes with the practice time.

I've been a lucky girl and recieved my skating wishes many times from Santa. This year I'd like a consistent backspin. Mine comes and goes. Goes mostly. I'd like a pretty good axel attempt. I'd love to try a double. I'm not getting any younger Santa! Any nice surprises you think of. I've tried to be a good skater all year. =-)

teresa

Santa-Baby , can you bring me:

At least ONE injury-free year
A real sit spin and scratch spin
A few more jumps
And s'more $$$$$ to pay for it all!

I've been such a good girl this year!

Dear Santa,

All I want for Christmas is a new coach and a change foot spin. In return, I promise to be nice to the idiots at work until the new year.

I've been really really good this year (kinda...) and would like

a semi-consistant double sal...
to pass my prelime moves...
and to land another double loop...

Please, please, please with sugar and a cherry on top!!!
