Skating yesterday was surprisingly really good! I worked on double salchow, double loop, double toe and double flip in my lesson, and then did some skills.
I have issues with the double salchow...because when I'm in the air, I can't, for the life of me, stay in the right position!!! My legs either uncross and I'm really open in the air, or they are so crossed that I get my blade stuck in a hole that I have in my tights and then fall!!
My double toe is pretty hopeless...although it's getting better and is less scary than it used to be...but I did take some pretty funny falls while practicing it yesterday! The good news is, my coach doesn't think I'm one of her students that should be on America's Funniest Home Videos because the majority of my falls aren't funny enough for her :P
Today I have to convince my dance coach to let me test my dance next week, because I either try it next week or wait until November, because I'm away for the test day in August. If I work on this dance until November, I might die, so I really hope I can at least try it next week...if I fail, fine...I'll retry it in the fall, but at least I'll have a CHANCE of passing...hopefully my coach will agree with me :)
Anyway I have to go...sorry about this kinda "mini-post" but I'll write more sometime this week, hopefully :)
My skates when they were new and pretty and not full of scratches like they are now lol

I have seen those skates. And I have seen the scratches. I'm still a little lost on some of the moves, but I know loops are hard, so double loops must be harder. So, good on you.
