Junior Free Skate First Flight

Miami U SST (Broadway Bound) 118.30 (total) Red dresses. 16 skaters. Fast block, nice sync. Interacting lines to no point. Pivot block, spiral lines, circle with 135s. 4 Bauer lines to a spin block, camels and sits. Traveling circle to no hold steps. No hold circle, fall. Traveling eggbeater into parallel wheel. Good speed, quick transitions. Great expression.

Synchro St. Louis (Criminals) 55.40=85.46 Black with sparkles. 16+1. Eagles and spirals. Block, fumbling in transition. Footwork in circle, no hold step sequence. Box intersection, clean. Nice traveling circle into double circle. Two lines transition to 1 line, bit ragged., good pivot. Change of foot spin block. Block to traveling 4 spoke, to no center 2 spoke. Sound was a bit loud, but spirited skate.

Hockettes (Moonlight) 76.58=110.20 Blue with crystals. 16+3. No point, good. 4 spoke, travel, nice shape. Parallel wheel, neat transition to block. Interacting line, nice transition to circle, travel. No hold steps, nice shape. 4 line eagle pivot to spiral lines, 135s in block. Footwork circle to pivot block (bit messy). Ends with spins and death spirals. Very calm, cool, smooth skate and quite expressive.

Synergy (Mindgames) 69.68=102.12 Black with red and green fringe. 16+2. Nice no point to eagles and 135s. Two lines to 1 line, pivot, decent shape. Footwork circle to triangle int (bit messy). Pivot block, different type of transition to traveling circle. Parallel wheel in eagles. 135s in double lines, Bauers. No hold steps, uneven spacing. Unusual transitional intersection, but had fall. Traveling parallel wheel to no center 4 spoke. Good speed throughout. Not sure how the choreography fits with the music (but I’m an old fogey).
