Goth on Ice 900927 weekend practice v2

Reupload of corrected version. (See https://youtu.be/EqClkhXvkRo for original). Sorry, folk. I'm still learning how to use the video editing software.

This starts not with me, but with my daughter. Because of various personal and health reasons, my daughter hasn't been on the ice since February and so this was her first time back on the ice giving it a try. Given what had been happening, I nearly panicked when she fell, but she did the "snow angels" thing with her arms and legs so I knew she was ok.

I follow that with some of my first fumbling attempts at forward outside three turns. I hadn't actually worked with my instructor on this yet, but I need to learn them to complete "Adult 5" in the progression. I had been treating them basically as two-foot turns only done with one leg picked up off the ice. This wasn't...quite...right.

Scissor the arms, switching which is front and which is back, "check" (stopping the rotation of the upper body), then turn hips and foot all as a unit. I did much better that way (no video this time. Try to get some my next practice session).

Despite appearances, however, it is a step forward as I am correcting a couple of key errors and, in the process, am getting more comfortable w..
