Inline Skating Level 3 - Lessons Resumed

6 Nov was the starting of our skating lesson for Level 3. Unfortunately, G was not feeling well on that evening, so we insisted that he should stay at home to rest.

We started off with the revising of skills learnt in Level 1 and Level 2, and everything seemed okay despite the long one-month rest for the October exam period.

But when the instructor started to introduce the Stride 3, which required the lifting up of a leg at each time and skating in longer strides, and balancing with body-swinging movements, we were like 'urghhhh'... Tough mann....

All of us did not fare well for this segment.... really need to put in more efforts and extra practices on our own to master this...

K can't wait to show-off his wet look of his hair...
Qiang...qianggggg...hair sticking down all over his head....

On 13 Nov, we learnt backward swizzle for our 2nd lesson. This move is not easy also; it's just like swimming using backstroke; moving backward, without looking behind and maintaining good coordination on your leg movements.

It really seems like from Level 3 onwards, the strides and skills are gettting more challenging for us...

Gotta find time during weekends to practice and brush up our skills....
