My aims for 2009 are

To do a spiral again (not managed one since may)
To learn a Loop
To learn to sit spin

Most importantly... to join things together.  At the moment I can do lots of spins and jumps and things, but only from standing still!  I can't link anything together at all.  How come kids can do this right from the start?

Dear Paul, I have to assure you I found backward ones much more easier then forward crossovers so keep trying.. They are really hard thing to do.. O0

Yes congratulations Paul!!!!!! they definitely coming on! who'd have thought 6 months ago mister "I am gonna sell my boots on ebay" would not only have finally gotten over his mental block of level 4 but also managed a few crossovers! Told ya! attacko attacko!  :D

And I am also very thrilled to report that I am still attacking myself and the chicken out tactic is only applied 10% of the time rather than 50%! Now just gotta get that loop sorted! My spins are getting there so am very happy after last nights skate....oh and also thrilled to report only minor bruising after the rather abrupt landing! haha! ;D

My joy is that I have booked some leave from work just so that I can spend some time going skating - need all the practice I can get - and cant wait. Have booked 1 day a week for 3 weeks.  :)

My goal for 2009 is to past the rest of my Skate UK levels so 6 to 10 I am doing some elements from 6 to 9 I just have to pass the others! Also to drag as many people I can to the rink to get at leased one person addicted! ;D
