PeacefulOreo's Figure Skating Journey
Post by PeacefulOreo »
So it's been a while since posting about my ice skating lessons and such. I'm currently at the Adult Level 3/Adult Level 4, the two foot turns are slowly coming along and once I can fully master those, I should be able to be completely Adult Level 4. I'm now into all kinds of advanced stuff. I've been doing/working on forward pumps on a circle (both directions), backwards pumps on a circle (both directions), forward inside edges (both left and right), forward outside edges (both left and right), backwards inside edges (both left and right), backwards outside edges (both left and right), backwards stroking, hockey stops (both directions), the backwards snowplow stop, and forward crossovers (both directions/both left and right). It's amazing to look back to the first time I attempted to ice skate on December 24th, 2019 (I started taking lessons in January of 2020) and compare that to what I'm doing now. Back then, I couldn't even skate forward without needing something to hold onto and now I'm doing all kinds of advanced moves and still continuing to practice, master, and learn advanced moves.

Hah!
What a journey so far!
I can imagine each of those maneuvers... I think... Not quite like ballet where the french words leave you scratching your head.
After learning all of these steps... what's after that?

The plan is, once I've passed all 6 Adult levels, to learn some figure skating elements/moves.

Lol, I was a little too distracted with concentrating my lesson (working on improving my backwards one foot glides, forward crossovers, and two foot spins) and with a certain someone who I wasn't expecting to be there as an instructor.
