It looks like most of the club is heading to Lafayette (Fun Nation) for the #MLK day hours: 12-4 ($8/admission). Jensen and I will meet you at the rink around 2:30. I have to do some media-making for both the rink (FunNationLA.com) and the club site (this site) during session and we'll use our time after (4-6) for a continuation of clip making and prep for Memphis. No classes will be held; just a special private practice club skaters.
I'll post the media we take today in the comments below.
Feel free to share any photos/videos you may have taken in the comments below. If you share, we will likely use it on rink and club sites/social pages, so FYI if you aren't a member of the rink's site yet. Click here to join the rink's site.
Edge: Left-Inner-Back (LIB)
Position: Upright
Proper Name: Left-Inner-Back Upright
Common Name: Inner-Back Upright (when written: ”IB Upright”
👨🏼🏫 This is a left-inner-back upright spin—meaning, Kimora is spinning (skating in a small circle) backwards on her left foot while pressing an inside edge (over the big toe wheel). The stronger she gets, the more fluid and consistent the spin.
NOTES:
The IB Upright is one of four upright spins and like all spins, each has a special but universal pressure point (regardless of the position: upright, sit spin, camel).
• LOF Upright (outer heel)
• LIB Upright (front, inner big toe wheel)
• RIF Upright (inner heel)
• ROB Upright (front, outer, pinky toe wheel)
Aaaand… Online Lessons teach us:
• LOF is Figure 1
• LIB is Figure 4
• RIF is Figure 2
• ROB is Figure 3
QUESTION:
We have 8 edges but only 4 upright spins. Why?
