Hi,
I struggle to skate!!!
You must have sensed I had a bad session last night, by starting this thread.
About 6 of us are sharing an hours coaching time during the summer Skate UK break each Monday night for an hour. Trouble is the other 5 are doing level 5/6/7 stuff and I'm STILL struggling (after 15 months) with level 2/3 stuff, so the coach tends to concentrate on the higher level stuff. I think she is a bit exasperated with me, but I know how she feels.
I STILL can't get my weight over on to my left leg, so one foot glides, crossovers, inside/outside edges etc, etc are impossible.
I feel like Mr Puniverse struggling with water wings in the shallow end of the pool while everybody else is jumping in at the deep end & treading water. (It did take me 5 years to learn to swim!!).
I don't know what the answer is, or even if there is an answer to my 'problem'.
I don't want to give up, I want to make some PROGRESS!
GGGGGGRRRRRR!!!!
Paul
