I'm lucky to have such a fun group coach!<br />I understand what you mean with the schedule though, I felt the same way. There was always a rush rush rush need to get something (test/recital program) done, that we didn't have time to work on other stuff. So I've pushed my test back and now I get to work on moves and also jumps and spins as well.Janiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15022374010590921232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3805467266900246423.post-70848265346423743302013-04-24T11:24:26.344-07:002013-04-24T11:24:26.344-07:00I'm jealous, too!

Part of it I think has to do with training schedule. Now I'm preparing for a competition, now I'm preparing for a test, now I'm solidifying some other element, etc. etc. <br /><br />Also, as far as the height thing goes, I'm 5'8" and today I saw an adult skater who's taller than me working on axels on the harness with a coach who is shorter than me. So it's certainly possible with at least some harnesses/coaches! alejeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11089901908887027141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3805467266900246423.post-38702297606240483272013-04-24T11:02:25.819-07:002013-04-24T11:02:25.819-07:00Yeah it's really weird to have something pulli...Yeah it's really weird to have something pulling on you.

Maybe if you tried another rink you could get a go!<br />It was only a one-time-for-fun thing in group class though, and my own private coach doesn't seem to be a big fan of the harness, so it seems unlikely I'll get another go anytime soon.Janiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15022374010590921232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3805467266900246423.post-76800712460649893322013-04-24T05:38:03.152-07:002013-04-24T05:38:03.152-07:00So glad you had fun in the harness!
