when i started courses they put me in level 5 from the beginning, which was kind of annoying because i couldnt do a lot of the stuff below that at the time. I passed level 10 after 5 or 6 weeks. I was having one private and one course lesson a week and i practiced most mornings for a few hours. I then did passport in about 4 weeks and now im working on my level 2 elements, field moves and free. I broke a bone in my hand in august, which has set me back a lot and i havent had any lessons since then

I could have done all my level 2 tests long before christmas, but that wont happen now.
I've now started level 1 coaching which is helping me with my skating as i now understand things and break things down which i never used to do, and most of the time if im doing something wrong, i know what it is and can correct myself.
