Ok, so I was pregnant until I miscarried this weekend. It was a very devastating experience, but I'm doing much better now. So I'm returning to the ice this week - maybe Wednesday. I never looked at skates when I was out of town since I was in baby mode. So now I get to look around town and hope there are some good skate fitters around.
I've been thinking about my waltz jumps and and I seem to have a hard time actually jumping off the left foot. It seems like my foot is glued to the ice!!! Is this just a mental thing?? I think I may be holding back and thinking about the jump too much. Any suggestions on how to get past that mental block??
About Me
- Rookie on Ice
- Utah
- I am attempting what I thought was impossible: learning to figure skate as a 23 year old adult. I took my first class as a credit filler in college. I wanted to take more classes, but school and work took up too much time. After graduating with a BSN, I've returned to the ice, first taking group lessons, and now private lessons. I am absolutely addicted to it!

I'm so sorry about miscarriage...
Waltz jump: remember to look up. Bend the knee going into the waltz jump, and bring the arms behind you - like you would in preparation to do a simple jump off the ice, then coordinate the movement of free leg and arms. Basically, all the suggestions that you can find on 3turn's blog are good.
So sad to hear your news - sending big hugs your way.
