More new skating stuffs

Learned so many new things today.

1. New step sequence

clockwise direction:

- forward anti-clockwise crossover to the left

- Mohawk (step on to the right skate then switch over to the left skate)

- while on the left skate (at the end of the Mohawk),
step on the right skate (wide step)(on to the inside edge i think...)

- shift center of mass to the left and starts a clockwise backward crossover

- change direction and step onto the left skate

- continue with a forward anti-clockwise crossover

-.... repeat....

(do the oppsite thing for the other direction)

show/hide...

2. Lutz

- starts from a clockwise backward crossover

- stands up straight with right arm in front of the left arm

and right leg in front of the left leg

- put left arm in front and right arm back

(most of ur weight will be on the left skate)

- pick up the right leg

- bend left leg and stretches right leg behind with toepick pointing to the ice

- tap onto the ice with the left toepick

and at the same moment the left arm will be swinging down and upwards

and the body goes with the left arm

and the right arm comes meet the left arm

... and u should be airborne by now

show/hide...

3. Flip

- starts with a very straight outside 3-turn on the left skate

- as the turn finishes ur right skate should be low and pointing towards the ice

- tap onto the ice with the left toepick

- similar to the lutz...

..at the same moment the left arm will be swinging down and upwards

and the body goes with the left arm

and the right arm comes meet the left arm

... and u should be airborne by now

Have got to remember to ask him how to fix my Choctaw next time.

So tired after the lesson, my right shin is hurting.
Glad that I only did 7lap run and 1lap walk for warmup.

The charcoal thing that I bought for my skates worked wonders. Boots are nice and dry now. No more mold. And it only costs $2+tax!!
