My sister Linda took a 7-minute video clip of my skating class at Polar Ice Gilbert. This is my Saturday morning class, Adult Level 3/4. (Date of class was November 20, 2010) We practiced a lot of things, but this particular clip shows us practicing forward and backward inside and outside edges on one foot. As you can see, I still have trouble going backward on one foot...the coach was holding my hands. I also didn't realize I leaned to far forward, the coach was getting me to hold myself more upright and have better posture, so I'm very glad to see this on here, it helps to know what I look like out there so I can improve. On a positive note, I do look at lot more comfortable on the ice, more confident than I did during the last clip several months ago. Also noticed I can do the forward to backward turn much more quickly, with less effort, and with more confidence.
Here's the clip. I'm the short gal with the ponytail and black jacket with white strips on the front.
