Should be ready for another go at Bronze FS at the end of June.
For me, the reason the backspin has been so tough is that getting all the weight in the right place means that I feel that I will fall backwards--and falling backwards is just NOT a good feeling, as many of us know! I've never had trouble getting onto the back outside edge, but STAYING there can be a real problem. At this point I'm about 2/5 attempts on the backspin and 3/5 on the loop. Thankfully secondary coach is putting things in terms I can understand and short-term goals that I can comprehend at the moment. So, although my runthroughs have been rather terrible, all but the backspin and loop are quite solid, and those two elements are well on their way. I'm forcing my primary coach to make me do runthroughs in lesson. . . she can be a bit lackadaisical about it but if i don't do the runthroughs I won't have the confidence that I can pull everything together in that 1:50.
