Ah sacred voice I was also in that class! I've just graduated into bronze free.. struggling stupidly on spins too. I'm a clockwise spinner but coach had me attempt the other way, nope not happening for me either.
I find that class terrifying as it's all free skaters above skate uk 8 and I still feel like I can barely do most of the stuff! Say hi if you see me I'm the rubbish one! 😂
I think I remember you posting on here before when I said I was moving up to Sheffield that you were in the adult classes (or were thinking of rejoining). I would say that everyone in that group is at a broadly similar level so I wouldn't worry about it seeming scary, certainly nobody stuck out at me as being "the rubbish one" so you've nothing to fear!
I will likely have been a little easier to spot though as I was the guy in the black hoodie at the start of the class that had to explain to the coach why I wasn't on the register
Also, if you were on the same circle as me for the continuous 3 turn exercise then I was the guy that was skating on my own circle round the one everyone else was on, because I push an obscene amount so I have to compensate by widening my circle to avoid running into someone's back.
I would happily say hi, but I'm not actually sure I'm gonna come back to the adult group classes when they start up again
I'd much rather learn with the adult groups, but I was a bit miffed at the way that coach handled me, which is saying something because I generally defer to authority figures ridiculously hard and I'm normally reeeeeaaaaalllly difficult to annoy
Aside from that though, the space available is a little small for my absurd pushing what with so many groups being taught on that session and so many people in each group. Lastly the academy lesson is a little longer, so I'm thinking of sticking with that, even though it means I have to hang out with the kids
I'll see if I can afford to pop back in for one month and say hi to you
