Dream VS Reality
The dream: Sk8ing around, doing a performance of a sort. Jumping up and down. The Groovy works its way in upspeed tempo, my Scissor is razorsharp, my pirouettes are inimitable. Then The Twist ,but not a regular twist, is a twist on the side of my wheels. So my leftskate is balancing on the edge of the two left-outside wheels and my rightskate is balancing on the edge of the two left-inside wheels. If you cannot visualize the picture check this wallpaper. If you look at the center you´ll catch my drift. So that´s count 1, on the second count I shift to leftskate-edge-inside-wheels and rightskate-edge-outside-wheels. Then back again, but because it´s a moving twist I have to jump slightly, so I end up about 1 ft. to the right of my original starting position. Now that´s count 3. Continued this 4 times and finished with a pirouette on the two back wheels of 1 skate. The other leg is lifted whilst making the full 2 turns of my pirouette. Then repeat this drill again to the other side. Can you see it?? Doesn't it look funky?
The reality: Last saturdayevening....balancing my leftskate and my right on two wheels each. And then...uhm...I'm still standing balancing..okay..I have to shift now....still standing...balancing..my ankles..ouch my ankles..still standing...balancing..gotta shift...NOW..still..balancing..F*CK!
Okay, jump back to 8 wheels on the floor then. SHIIIIT!!! Gotta get back to bed! Keep on dreaming honey!
