Mine was -

2 forward cross rolls, LFO 3 turn, RFO 3 turn, 2 backward cross rolls, step to forward, LFI to RBI mohawk, back crossover, RFI to LBI mohawk, back crossover, step to forward, 2 bunny hops into a forward drag.

I didn't think there was anything remotely simple about it at all!!!

Hi dippytrout -After some confusion in my lessons of what a 'simple step sequence' consists of I looked on here and your sequence made sense to me! I am doing my level 10 test on Sunday with your sequence- (slightly adapted as I kept crashing into the barrier in the drag pos- not cool) - hope it goes ok!!! Thanks

Funny but nterpretation of this "simple step sequence" seems to vary so much.  The rule at our rink was that it must include 2 mohawks, two three turns and two chassis.  But other than that the coaches varied quite a lot in what order etc which made a big difference in the speed you were doing certain bits.

Ours was

RFI mohawk, crossover, step to forwards LFI mohawk, crossover, step to forwards, 2x chassis to the left, 2 x chassis to the right, LFO 3 turn, Step to forwards, RFO 3, step to forwards, rfi 3 step to forwards neat 1 foot glide and T stop finish with arms.

This was hell as by the time you got to the 3 turns I was going quite fast and every time I fluffed the 1st 3 turn but then was Ok with the last ones.  Lots of the kids only got halfway across the rink as thier steps were so small but I kept running out of space!  The only thing I found that helped was to count 1,2,3,4 over and over again for the steps which seemed to keep me going.

Hi Rach,
Could you be blocking yourself with your right shoulder too far in front of your body? On any step forward, you need to 'open up' (both hips and shoulders) or it makes it very difficult to get on to the edge you want (whether inside or outside) The other thing is to allow time to complete the three turn fully and not to try and step into the mohawk too soon (ie-don't snatch). Just a few thoughts that might help.   :D

Good  oh   :D  so, as with everything else in skating - 'It's just practice' (how often do we hear this!!?)

Yeah - for every 15 minute lesson you need to follow it up with 15 hours of practice - i'm running out of time!!   ;)

I think you have more joy with skating lessons for teachers as a part of teacher skills development!! ;D
I don't believe in the no-win scenario. There is always a way to have your cake and eat it!!!

especailly if durham rink opens as we could try to take the kids even as after school club thingy if we could have ice for half hour or so.... unlikely but hey ho! It may just be nice seeing kids I know there and being able to help them! Share what littel wisdom I have acquired!

In the days before such health and safety rules I took a class of 30 5-7 year olds skating and they were fantastic! At first there was a heap of kids on the ice where they got on and all fell over. I had to leap over them then spread them round the rink. By the end of the session most were moving and staying upright some were even going backwards.
Don't think I'll get permission to take my current class!
Re 2 days school 5 day weekend- that is what I do but problem is now I have the time to skate I don't have the money! >:(
