Emily decided she was ready to try to take her USFS Juvenile Moves in the Field test this summer at Troy while we were up there for competition over the weekend. She hasn't been working on these moves very long, but she was ready to give it a try. At this phase power is a big deal along with attention to more details like posture, stretching through the free leg and good, clean edges.
Unfortunately, right at the end of the school year our rink started having problems. The dehumidifier went out so all the glass was steamed up and there was fog rising up off the ice. Sometimes it looked like a spooky Halloween scene. The ice wasn't freezing evenly either which made the ice lumpy and difficult to skate on. Not ideal for lessons leading into a test session. But, she was determined to try.
