More edges

Learned
- backward 3-turn. Tip: to turn and change direction, need to rock the blade a bit using the end of the blade
- bracket

A turn made on one foot from forward to backward (or backward to forward) from one edge of one character to an edge of another character, i.e. outside to inside or inside to outside, where the body rotation is counter to the natural direction of progress causing the cusp to print outward from the center of the lobe curvature. The edge before and after the turn is on the same lobe.


Learned more edge exercise from last nite's class.
- 3-turn on right skate, change direction and stepped onto the left skate, and followed by forward crossover, do the same in the other direction and alternate.
- backward 3-turn, mohawk to go back to skating backward, then backward 3-turn in the other direction, then mohawk, repeat in the other direction and alternate.
- bracket, backward 3-turn, forward crossover and repeat.

Trick to perform 3-turn with free leg in front is not to tip forward when doing the 3-turn. This way there'll be no scratching on the ice and you can move on to the backward crossover easier.

Practiced a lot of edge exercises during lunch, didn't do much jumping. I definitely know how to do bracket now altho on the left skate it's not as comfortable.
