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.

Ice 'n' Easy: May 2009
http://iceneasy.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 12, 2009. It's been rather a busy time the last few weeks - hopefully things will settle down and I can start posting a little more regularly again. I didn't have a lesson two weeks ago anyway, as my poor coach had some nasty tummy bug on her return from the USA, so only last weeks lesson to report! This especially applies to the Novice Foxtrot - such a simple dance, but so hard to get right, if you know what I mean! All very exciting :) This is the progress so far - he is rather cute I thin...

Ice 'n' Easy: September 2008
http://iceneasy.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 25, 2008. Spinning direction . . . inconclusive. Lots of spinning in both directions now every time I skate, so we can work it out. At the moment it does feel very odd to spin "leftie" but that's probably because I've never gone that way before on skates! My lessons have now been lengthened, so we can fit even more stuff in. Level 2 mohawk exercise:. After the Terror(mo)hawks, she asked if I was going to write nasty things about her on my blog. Never :). Backward Cross in fronts:.

Ice 'n' Easy: October 2008

Tuesday, October 28, 2008. Time to go to the physio! I've had a few good skates since my last post - everything going fairly peachily. Haven't tried twizzles yet - but not deliberate, I just keep forgetting to try them on my new blades! I have a dilemma now though. Do I continue going to synchro for the next x number of weeks, not being able to do anything bar pottering through the steps on my own in the corner, or do I use that time for another solo session? Posted by A Spaniels Tail. I was happy to rip...

Wednesday, June 25, 2008. 1) Look at the list and bold those you have read. 2) Italicise those you intend to read (as in the book is bought and sitting on my shelf). 3) Underline the books you LOVE. 4) Strike out the ones you thought SUCKED. 1 Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen. 2 The Lord of the Rings - JRR Tolkien. 3 Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte. 4 Harry Potter series - JK Rowling. 5 To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee. 7 Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte. 8 Nineteen Eighty Four - George Orwell. 36 The Li...

Ice 'n' Easy: March 2009
http://iceneasy.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 19, 2009. Didn't realise I hadn't blogged for so long - whoops! That's what comes of getting funky new gadgets like an iPhone - completely distracted by it! Level 2's are going quite nicely too - backward edges are still not strong enough, but I am doing more like 10 up the long axis, rather than 16, which is an improvement! And even the dreaded backward cross-rolls are happening and beginning to get a little bigger and a little faster. I don't hate them quite so much now! Otherwise, just...

Thursday, April 16, 2009. C'mon Amanda - keep up! I got told off the other day by my uncle for not updating in so long. Sorry Uncle Pete - I'm fine, its just been a busy few weeks :). Skating is going on the whole well. I seem to have spent all my time recently either at the rink or at work so can only apologise for not updating! In my lessons we have been focussing on three main things:. Level 2 Field Moves:. Level 1 Compulsory Dances:. Keeping up with the music is another matter - the first 30 seconds ...

Tell me what I need to fix, work with me on it some more but DO NOT tell me it was terrible. I know it's terrible compared to what it should be but I JUST LEARNED IT! Anyway, he gave me this torturous exercise that is supposed to help my sit spin. It's a spiral/shoot the duck/spiral (OMG WTF! Oh, and I did a whole bunch of ...

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!
