Okay, I've decided to start updating again in preparation for Danny and I getting off of our butts and getting jackilynch.com up and off the ground.
Right now I'm planning on using this as an ice skating diary to kinda keep track of my practices and (hopefully) progress. So I should really change the name of this blog to confessions of an adult figure skater.
So yeah. I'm almost 25 years old and I've just now decided to start skating...alongside my 8 year old niece. :) I've been working alot with my sister and I've been very surprised at how much I remember and how much I've learned. Right now I can do a salchow and a toe-loop, although I get freaked out alot on the toe-loop and bail...so it still needs some work. I'm also beginning to work on my sit-spin.
To pass the pre-bronze test I only need to be able to do 2 single jumps, a 1 foot spin, a 2-foot spin, and a spiral. All of which I can do. For the Bronze test, however, I still need 1 more single jump, a sit spin, and a 1-foot back spin. I'm close.
This weekend I'm starting lessons. I'm starting with Adult basic 3-4, and I'm anticipating being moved up to freestyle 1-2 relatively quickly.
Okay, that's enough of an update for now. I'll post more later.
