double loop and double axel, can't get up to juvenile untill I get that double loop, I have my double sal (not very stable though, fall most of the time), hve my double lutz and flip (these came very easily for some reason, though flip is a little harder for me than the lutz), I need to improve my speed in all my jumps. plus i am stil on about 5 revolutions for my scratch spin and i'd really rather be at about 8-10 and pass the test securely.

this is sad but my back crossovers clockwise could use alot of help, when i was originally advancing i immideately learned ccw and kept avoiding clockwise so now i sort of have to cheat and step them. This especially gives me the fits when trying to spin, because its so hard to egt speed and real range of motion when i'm going in to the spin, why oh why can't I spin on my right foot? I'm jsut learning the laybackspin and this is killing me too, b/cv I keep putting it off b/c i hate falling on it.

Right now, the move giving me the fits is the alternating 3-turn pattern. Outside and inside, although inside is slightly better than outside. Once I realized you don't need to hold the check as long, i was able to string two of them together. But outside, HA! I can do them individually, but when I try to do two in a row, I end up somehow back where I started from.

It's quite pathetic how bad my LFI and RFO three turns are still. I can do them, and if I slow down I can do them well, but the LFI 3 especially just scares me. Like I've tried the FI-BI 3 pattern from novice moves and the hardest part is doing the FI3 to start it.

The entry to the reverse sitspin! Once I get into it, it's great, but I seem to mess up that change of foot transition from the forward sit into the reverse sit every time it really counts (i.e., competitions and recitals). I can do a flying camel and a double salchow but this "easy" combination spin kicks my butt.

Oh God, those brackets on adult gold moves. I DO NOT like them. They are simply my worst. And for some reason, I'll try almost anything once but I HATE the salchow jump. Single or double, it's a b*tch

Double flip. I had a clean double axel, triple salchau and triple loop long long long (think 3 years) before my double flip was clean and anywhere near consistent to be "testable", since I need it for the junior free.
