current mood
I did figure skating when I was a kid for about a year but had to quit because the lessons were too pricy. I started again as an adult cuz its super fun and its good exercise! Unfortunately I have severe bunions and extra bones in both feet which makes jumps in particular very painful so I mostly stick to spins and footwork. I practice during public skate and off ice on rollerblades so it doesnt cost too much.
camel spin looks terrible but its getting better. im trying to work on flexibilty and strength cuz I just look really stiff and weak when I skate.
had a breakthrough today... apparently this whole time I havent been tying my skates nearly tight enough and when I tied them correctly today my spins were immediately so much better. I felt like Eren when he was training and finally got ODM gear that wasn't broken
gaining speed and control in my spins. its hard to not rock up onto my toe pick and travel or lose balance
still working toward my scratch spin and getting over fear of jumping. toe loop needs work but im off the ground at last
made progress on my spin entrance today :D still working on controlling the spin and gaining speed
