Footwork and Fancy Threes: March 2015

http://footworkandfancythrees.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html

Footwork and Fancy Threes. The Skating Diary of an Axel Obsession. Thursday, March 12, 2015. So, on November 14, 2014 I landed an axel for the first time. I tried it in competition for the first time last weekend. It's funny to say that, since the axel has been in my program since last June. I just planned to do my under-rotated attempt as always. But one of my goals for 2015 is to land a real axel in competition. I'm not surprised that I wasn't successful in my first go round. I'll let you know. Post Tr...

Footwork and Fancy Threes: April 2014

http://footworkandfancythrees.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html

Footwork and Fancy Threes. The Skating Diary of an Axel Obsession. Monday, April 28, 2014. I'm happy to be able to share a video of my skate from Nationals with you! I had conveniently forgotten that I tripped when I went to curtsy after the program. I think this will be the next thing I try not to do in competition, but there are only so many chances you get to stop without tripping with all that adrenaline running through you! Thank you for sharing in my journey with me. Wednesday, April 23, 2014.

8220;Strength” by Pete Sterpe. Where does the phrase “practice of everyday life” come from? Warning, in professor mode here). Thoughts about skating and the practice of everyday life. And how to fix it. Oh, so that’s how it goes! August 15, 2015. Now that there is a movement afoot to allow skaters to choose their own music for compulsory dances (hooray! I have been thinking about all kinds of possibilities. I am just starting to think about music for the Kilian. Since then, I’ve watched countless g...

Footwork and Fancy Threes: August 2014

http://footworkandfancythrees.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html

Footwork and Fancy Threes. The Skating Diary of an Axel Obsession. Tuesday, August 12, 2014. I interrupt this post hiatus to announce that I will be testing the Hickory Hoedown and the Willow Waltz on August 23. I've pencilled it in, because I'm testing on a freestyle so I don't have to turn in papers in advance. I'm hoping that neither Dance Coach or our judge has to back out. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Footwork and Fancy Threes. The Skating Diary of an Axel Obsession. Sunday, September 29, 2013. Why are you giving me a funny look? You were giving me a funny look! Oh, well that's because you were giving me a funny look.". Oh, well, that's settled. I guess we have a chicken-and-egg situation here," he quipped, "which one do you want to be? We both paused a beat and then spoke at the same time. I'll be the chicken.". I'll be the egg.". Friday, September 20, 2013. Today, I attempted them on the ice sans ha...

Footwork and Fancy Threes: Axel Agony

http://footworkandfancythrees.blogspot.com/2014/11/axel-agony.html

Footwork and Fancy Threes. The Skating Diary of an Axel Obsession. Sunday, November 9, 2014. I asked to confirm. "Yes, a little longer," he confirmed and again held his finger to his lips. We then went our separate ways. November 10, 2014 at 8:31 AM. Dont beat yourself over this, alejeather. Although my axel is pretty consistent, I lose it every once in a while. It was gone for a full week this month! Mary @ Fit and Fed. November 11, 2014 at 11:08 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Skittles Skates a...

Footwork and Fancy Threes: January 2014

Footwork and Fancy Threes. The Skating Diary of an Axel Obsession. Monday, January 20, 2014. Friendly Competition and "Compliments". I've had the pleasure of having a few friends in skating with whom I am competitive, but completely friendly. It's so fun to compare notes on how we're progressing on certain elements. She reported to me a recent conversation she'd had with Coach. How is my axel looking? She asked him. "Does it look like an adult axel? Or a kid axel? How does it compare to Alejeather's?

Footwork and Fancy Threes: June 2014

http://footworkandfancythrees.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html

Footwork and Fancy Threes. The Skating Diary of an Axel Obsession. Sunday, June 1, 2014. But lately something has clicked. I think it's holding the entry edge longer, which is a lesson I've learned from sits and camels. I think I may have also just gained control over the free leg and position, to where I can control it without losing my balance over my sweet spot on my spinning leg. Anyhow, I achieved 15 revs on my second try yesterday without much problem at all. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Jumps and f...
