Yay for #TeamUSA #WinterOlympics! Our figure sisters are the tops!
Watching their performances over screens is no where close to watching them fluttering over the ice in front of or next to you. I can vouch for Kristi on this one as I was mesmerized with how she moved around the center of the rink while I tried to quickly move forward.
Kristi showed me how to do crossovers and I had a blast moving forward and back like that. Too bad that ice rink was far from home. I made do with what I had and would take my rollerblades around with me at SFSU and along ocean beach.
Ohh yeah the sidewalk by the beach isn't a problem if you know how to react to a patch of sand ahead of you. (Keep your legs bent with one in front of the other as you move forward with your momentum.) Ahh... my eyes were getting worse and I couldn't see slicks or grates ahead of me anymore. That's the main reason I quit for a while.
