Sat lesson

Went to adult class, only 2 ppl went including me.
Learned so much, never had I learned so much in one class!!

Several new warm up exercises:-
- 4 cross rolls, skate on right forward outside edge to make a complete circle,
another 4 cross rolls, skate on left forward outside edge to make a complete circle,
continue this pattern down the rink
- 4 backward cross rolls, skate on right backward outside edge to make a circle,
4 backward cross rolls, skate on left backward outside edge to make a circle.
- left backward inside edge, right backward inside edge, after 4 edges (alternating left and right) like this, stay on left inside edge to make a circle. repeat the 4 alternating edges, stay on right inside edge to make a circle.
- left forward inside edge (with right skate extended in front), right forward inside edge (with left skate extended in front), 4 alternating edges like this, then skate on left forward inside edge to make a circle with right skate extended from behind and bring the right skate forward after half a circle. Repeat the same thing but end with the other skate (right forward inside edge to make a circle).
- right outside 3-turn, left outside 3-turn, alternate left and right down the rink
- right outside 3-turn, side hop, left outside 3-turn, side hop, alternate left and right down the rink

Competitive warm up:-
start at the corner of the rink
- 2 forward crossovers, skate on left outside edge, do change of edge (to left inside edge) with right skate lifted in front, mohawk, step out to the right while skating backwards, 2 backward crossovers, change direction (backward to forward) and step on to the left forward outside edge, 2 forward crossovers, stride forward on left skate while extend right skate behind, stride forward on right skate while extend left skate behind... and repeat the whole pattern

Jumping circus:-
- forward crossovers, change of edge, mohawk, 3 waltz jump in a big "straight" line, forward crossovers, 2 single loops in a roll, forward crossovers, mohawk, step out to the right, 4 backward crossovers till the blue line, step forward, single flip, forward crossover, mohawk (left to right this time), 4 backward crossovers till the blue line, mohawk (right to left), extend left leg behind while skating on right backward edge, backward crossovers, single lutz.

They're thinking of moving the lesson from sat to thurs nite.... in hope for more ppl to come.... cuz they can't run it with just 1 or 2 ppl in it.
