Sing me a song

I am still working towards testing Pre-Bronze MIF (maybe August 19, OMG!) Like other skaters I was struggling to get 4 crossovers on the perimeter stroking end pattern. This was discussed recently on Skating Forums.

Today, during practice I made a break thru! I came up with a little song to help me with the timing and placement of the crossovers. It goes like this; "Stroke...Stroke...Stroke...Stroke...Stroke...Stroke...in the circle around the dot, before the box, after the box, in the circle around the dot and Stroke...Stroke...Stroke...Stroke...Stroke...Stroke...in the circle around the dot, before the box, after the box, in the circle around the dot, presentation and stop!

I'd love to say that there is a tune that I sing this to, but I have no rhythm, so it's more like a chant than a song. Either way, it really helped me today to get 4 crossovers on the end pattern without ending up on a flat.

The Pattern!
