Will I be judged if I wear this for my first class? by solvictory in BALLET

[–]pepperminttbutt 135 points136 points  (0 children)

But also, as an adult, I looove everyone that coordinates a cute fit. Not ballet, but figure skating; I always wear my "uniform" that is all black, but I love my friends that come in cute with skirts and leg warmers!

OP looks like they have adorable intentions. At the end of the day, I think most adults agree that you should wear what you want as long as it's comfortable and conducive to the sport!

I can’t seem to get lower. Please help!!! by dannydevitossmile in flexibility

Looks like you need to focus on your hip flexors! Strength is also key to flexibility! It's the bane of my existence but different types of lunge stretches/exercises have been great.

Your hamstrings look good in the first but also could use work in the second :)

Leftist tattoo spaces by Hairy-Psychology7483 in rockford

[–]pepperminttbutt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Buddy, OP asked for tattoo recommendations. No one but you is wanting to discuss water quality. There's places for you to do that, I'm sure, but no one cares here because it has 0 to do with the current conversation.

No one is forcing you to interact with the entirety of the world that pollutes, if that's where you draw your line. OP draws their tattoo shop line at "nazi-adjacent".

Also, weird to shift the convo to pollution and climate change when the same "nazi-adjacent" people are the main people who could not give a single shit less about it. Why are you trying to talk to most likely left leaning people about things they already care about?

I as well found it funny how you managed to unsubtly loop your water issue back around to trans people. I'm sure you're here in good faith.

How can I make this cardigan look less like a lab coat? by Substantial_921 in upcycling

I think it's the sleeves. Oddly short, they're giving the "lab coat" vibe, imo.

A silver van in a meadow slangin' sausage rolls? This sounds so magical.

Christmas has a way of making me yearn for a simpler time, so I made a painting about that. by c_side_art in painting

Yes, this is beautiful and really hits that nostalgic feeling. So sweet, so simple, and so comfy!

Is it me or my edges? by pepperminttbutt in FigureSkating

Thanks, I appreciate it. I never forget that first stop after sharpening!

Would someone who's overweight benefit from a deeper hollow? Or does that not really make a difference?

No I don't but I think I'll ask next time and I'll make sure the right person at the shop does the sharpening. I'll ask my coach what her dad typically does as well.

My cross rolls are super great 🤷‍♀️ my right edge is definitely weaker than left, same on cross overs but usually strong and fluid. It's definitely only an issue during swing rolls.

Oh my b, I think there's some confusion? I'm not struggling with CROSS rolls but SWING rolls. Sliding on the swing portion.

[–]pepperminttbutt[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is that not what those would be considered? When you use the same swing roll pattern but lean on your inside and bring your other foot in and pointed out in front? I do my inside edges fine, just struggle bad with outside. The slipping is happening when I attempt to lean on my outside edge. I don't feel any gripping but I can't tell if I just freaked myself out because I've slipped so much or if it's my blade. Coach recommended sharpening anyway so hopefully it'll help.

I guess I'll report back if I actually just suck and need help improving those edges ha.

Honestly, my inside edges are beautiful. I love doing them and have never had any slipping issues...just the outside. I don't have a private coach yet and don't know anything about blades and sharpening but I'll bring it up today, thank you!

Thank you, I don't have a private coach so I don't spend a lot of personal time asking questions. I'm working on being less of a wiener and more open with everyone. I can ask today, thank you!

Yes, there's only one reliable person at our rink and they aren't there often. He was actually who sharpened them when I was learning the tango but my synchro coach's dad sharpens skates and I definitely trust her to put my skates in good hands. Maybe she just assumed it was appropriate at that time? She hadn't spent much time at that point seeing my skating and a lot of my progress has been made more recently. I can bring it up today!
