Say I was wondering what everyone is working on at this present time as skaters?

Juvenile Moves
New Free (ISI FS6)
Double Salchow
Double Loop
Axel...
Spin Variations of Camel and Sit
Layback

axel, back camel (alone and in combo), flying camel, sit-backsit

Swing Dance
Fiesta Tango

Gold Moves

How about learning how to really skate and not just stumbling around the ice pretending to know how to skate?


Not in any particular order:

• My new interp program, including getting the arms right and not look so stiff...
• Jumps up to a lutz. Flip and Lutz trying to land it consistently. The rest --trying to make existing jumps smoother and toe loops less of a "toe waltz."
• Lower sit spins
• Actually do a 3 rev. camel spin!
• Silver Moves
• Back power 3's (so I can put that as an entrance for my interp program!)

Thank you for the support, you guys!!!

Stop that - no self-beatings allowed! You get better all the time; just stay on top of things and you'll be fine.

I'm coasting this summer with the kids at home, but I'm focused on my footwork and dance steps while trying to get all my singles back.
