I just had to share this....

[Deetlebug]

I've been skating for just over a year. I'm 35 years old. And today.......

I started learning how to do a half-lutz!!!!!

I cannot believe it!!

When I first started skating my biggest goal was to learn how to do crossovers. Now, in addition to that, I can do three-turns, double three turns, mohawks, counter turns, a waltz jump, a mysurka jump, a half flip, a half lutz, the Dutch Waltz, the Canasta Tango and the Rhythm Blues!!!

Guess it's time to set some higher goals. ;)

Anyway, I was just excited and wanted to share. :)

I've been holding off skating for a while (until I can sign up for classes again) but your post really made me feel like I could actually achieve more (I'm only on crossovers now but I'll try to find some more time to skate if possible during the school year...yeah right! But I'll try anyway!) Keep on skating DeetleBug!

Thanks for the support!!! :)

Right now I'm working towards testing my first three dances (Dutch Waltz, Canasta Tango & Rhythm Blues) in October. I guess we'll see what happens then. 8)

Oh, that's wonderful :) I'm on my single axel, it hasn't been going great. Congrats! Keep up the skating :D

[Deetlebug]

Hadas,

A single axel?!?!?!

That's FANTASTIC!!!!!!!! Keep skating. You'll get there. Then you'll be doing double jumps and and double axel and triple jumps. I can see it now. ;)
