My big issue with Bronze moves is the turn they've inserted in the forward/bw perimenter xos-- mohawk from power has always been my Rubicon.Alexandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04087069977867729538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-466093691926458332.post-67455152400241053522012-01-14T18:52:45.751-06:002012-01-14T18:52:45.751-06:00Bronze moves or Bronze freestyle?

(Especially with that damn sit spin. Honestly, is there anything that looks more ridiculous than a beginning sit spin?)<br /><br />Kudos to you for getting back out there for your own skating, Xan! I felt exactly the same way when I started skating again this summer, and in fact only skated at very off hours on public skate for this very reason. It was at least 3 months in before I would even consider getting on a FS session here, and then probably another couple of months after that before I stopped feeling like someone would surely kick me off the ice for utter incompetence. :) I have finally come to my senses and realized that a) everyone else on the ice is waaay too busy to bother with what I'm doing, and b) the watching parents are actually quite supportive (as are the other coaches).<br /><br />Happy skating!Emily Dnoreply@blogger.com
