Mandis Old Skating Blog. Mandis Figure Skating Journal. An Adult Skater in Denver. Tests Im Working On. 10 October 2006 @ 07:05 pm. Just as the title states - this was a great practice. I went to the Tuesday afternoon session so it was relatively uncrowded and I was able to do a lot of field move stuff and there was plenty of room for jumps. Spins were really nice today! That was fun :).

Last night I fell on a BO3 and they looked in my direction then looked at each other and started giggling. I really felt like going over there and giving them a piece of my mind. But instead, I let it get to me and had a crappy practice. I can't stand them! I had two that had about FOUR (! 4 gold medals Earn your medal.

Rookie on Ice: March 2008
http://rookieskate.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
My adventures as an adult figure skater. Wednesday, March 12, 2008. Video of progress. Yes I know I need to jump off my toepick on my waltz jump, and NOT bend my picking leg when doing half flips. But still, I'll pleased! Saturday, March 8, 2008. Bitten by the Pre-Bronze Bug. Watched a test session this past weekend. Got to see the only adult testing MITF (Bronze level). Seeing that I could do some of the moves on the Bronze level, I am very confident that I can do Pre-Bronze. Wednesday, March 5, 2008.

Rookie on Ice: September 2007
http://rookieskate.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
My adventures as an adult figure skater. Wednesday, September 26, 2007. Finally got to skate after 5 days off the ice. Crowded session with lots of figure and hockey skaters.Hockey skaters with cell phones.those things should be banned on the ice! FO3's: These are progressing nicely! And somehow, my troublesome R foot understands 3-turns better than my reliable L foot! Oh, and I was starting the bad habit of keeping my chin up. The chin must be UP! First OFFICIAL private lesson next week! I watched the j...

Rookie on Ice: VIDEO!
http://rookieskate.blogspot.com/2008/03/video.html
My adventures as an adult figure skater. Wednesday, March 12, 2008. Video of progress. Yes I know I need to jump off my toepick on my waltz jump, and NOT bend my picking leg when doing half flips. But still, I'll pleased! When I was learning the waltz jump, my coach had me stand about 4 - 5 feet from the board and practice just jumping into the boards. Goal was a) to jump of the toepick and b) to get a nice "h" shape with the free leg and c) to really kick the boards with the free leg toepick. I am attem...

Rookie on Ice: January 2008
http://rookieskate.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
My adventures as an adult figure skater. Saturday, January 26, 2008. I was finally able to make it to the rink this week. Work kept conflicting. But I spent 2 hours skating today - and now I'm exhausted. I worked on a variety of things. FXOs are much improved compared to my old skates. BXOs.I think I've regressed - just need more knee bend. CW better than CCW as usual. Great strides today. Not too bad other than nearly stepping on my blades. That would have been a lovely faceplant. SoI was feeling really...

My adventures as an adult figure skater. Thursday, May 1, 2008. New video, Toe loops, and surprise Salchow. I can do a salchow a heck of a lot better than a toe loop. It's cheated (not a full rotation) but it's a start. I even got one on video. Enjoy! Make photo slide shows at www.OneTrueMedia.com. May 20, 2008 at 1:28 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Mandis Old Skating Blog. Mandis Figure Skating Journal. An Adult Skater in Denver. Tests Im Working On. 01 February 2007 @ 01:00 am. I always thought that something may be going on between Evan and Tanith but now it is confirmed! I couldn't be happier for two reasons, 1) This means that Evan is NOT GAY! Not that there's anything wrong with that) and 2) They make the cutest couple. I love them both! Oh, and I think I have a crush on Ryan Bradley ;). 9 gold medals Earn your medal. He's a perdy boy!
