I absolutely LOVE to skate!!!!
~ Best day ever!! ~
Today was probably one of the best skating days ever. I worked on everything!!! Even though my Camel spin wasn't too good (Only one rotation, what??), everything else was AWESOME! I can feel the core upper body strength coming back...ESPECIALLY on jumps. That's gonna be WONDERFUL for Axel and doubles! Spins are great!!!! I did some GREAT sit spins!!! It was awesome! I even tried sit - change - sit, and some even spun! Very exciting.
Axel - prep, Axel - prep, Axel - prep!!! Where oh where is my Axel?? It'll be here soon, I can feel it. It's almost there. Axel - prep is going GREAT! I just need to get my chicken ass to get it off the ground and PULL IN FOR AXEL!! I have a feeling that if I grew some balls and pulled in I could rotate the damn thing...I'm just a LITTLE nervous. Everything about the takeoff, the in air position, and landing feel good for waltz jump, just gotta pull my DAMN ARMS IN!!!
I feel ALOT more power in my skating now. Most of that comes from, I'm sure, the core upper body. When Mel was my coach, she'd YELL AT ME about pointing the toe and body position and all that so I knew I HAD my core upper body position...When I moved back to SCS, it all went to shit. Now I have Gina yelling at me about it and it's coming back now, 10 fold!!!!!! Its so GREAT!! I feel SO much better about skating!!! It's becoming SUCH a big focus in my life again and I LOVE it!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!! It's SO GREAT!
Givin 'em the old razzle dazzle...
