So I'm working it out...! My CW FI3 as per me is worse than the CC one. Another bridge to cross if/when I get to it.George Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15375041586503979232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1602697467859417662.post-19055793880658927432018-01-29T22:25:32.609-05:002018-01-29T22:25:32.609-05:00Hmm, I may have sent something incomplete... hopef...Hmm, I may have sent something incomplete... hopefully you can edit it to be just one coherent comment. I meant to say that a fresh pair of eyes is very helpful. And I had the same problem working with my dance coach, that we were usually dancing together without someone to see some of my bad habits, wide-stepping included. As far as the mohawk, I can sympathize. I've been working really hard on my FI double threes, and it's the forward inside edge that's the real problem. Seems so simple, to step onto a FI edge and rotate into a three turn, but it's not. I've been trying an exercise I came up with in isolation (at a standstill). I look along my circle with my head without twisting it inside the circle, while moving my torso and arms into the circle to create the twist for the turn. I try to really feel that twist, what Ty used to call "the pepper grinder."

I think you and I ought to switch directions, since it's the clockwise inside mohawk that always scares me. Sounds like it was fun to have the duo-coaching--always good to have someone watching as well as skating.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
