Dear Julia, I don't know your tutorials for much long, but I have to say THANK YOU for all od them. You are a great teacher, your ability to explain things, postures, angles, movements, why this or that... is incredibly good. I'm coming back to hobby ("figure") skating after many years, self taught, because there are no classes in our town, and I feel so "looking forward" to every next lesson after each and every of your vids! It's incredible, that happy feeling you are able to spread 👍 I'd like to be inspiration for my children, they seem to like skating after all, I'm really happy for that ❤️ and there's why your tutorials are so helpful as well. I can show them your videos and explain them what are you talking about (we are Czech) and even show them something by myself. Or help them at least, to try. So, thank you, you are our star ❤️

Oh my goodness, thank you so much for the lovely, positive words about my videos and my instruction. It really helps motivate me to keep going.

Coach Julia- “Thank You“ so much for the time and dedication you’ve applied in providing these priceless tutorials for our “Passion“ in artistic skating. Although I’m strictly an instructor/competitor on Quad Roller Skates, and started skating age 5 in 1970 (ice skates-Hockey) competing by age 9, and at age 14 skated professionally in Patrick Swayzes’ Cameo “SkateTown USA“, I hung up ky skates right after that filming and never stepped into a boot until recently(May 2022). One would think after being absent from skating for 42 years, you’d need retraining from beginner level!? I was really surprised to find my hours of training were for a reason- “Muscle Memory!“ In fact, within 3 weeks of confidence rebuilding, I was airbourne again pushing my nerves into consistent double axels and flips. With old age comes stagnant muscle growth. We can only “Tone“ whats present, not grow or expand what no longer replaces the worn and torn. This Tutorial helped me, which helps my base of 130 students, hone in on the key areas of our body that facilitate easier adjustments to weight transitions on edges. How crucial our setup into execution is to balancing the follow through. “How Consistency in Repetition of Correct Action Produces Effortless Results CONSTANTLY...or as mentioned Muscle Memory your mind and body utilize for frequent motions!“ Like getting out of bed and standing up. We don’t anylize that process. We initiate the mind to signal the body to perform a function...effortlessly! Looking forward to meeting and personally thanking you at a competition down the road. Geno W. Hardin Coach/Instructor Parkview Skate OR Wow! Coach is really on top of her folkowers posts! Less than 10 minute reaction...That’s Dedication to Sustaining our Sport! 👏👏👸⛸🛼

Thank you a lot for this video! I've been figure skating for a bit more than half a year and I managed to learn toe-loop and salchow (not perfectly) but with spins I've always had the feeling that I am just staying in the same place and never managed to get more than 4 rotations in a simple 1-foot spin. Whenever I practiced with the coach, I was told to just try again and again but nobody explained me these important tips that you mention here!

This tutorial seems very detailed broken down into like a science of skating… which will help in my practice movements.

As an olllllld skater (57) I love your videos: so clear, pleasant and makes me think I can do everything you demonstrate...(sometimes this is true)!

I’m not an ice skater, I am a discus thrower but this video was actually quite useful as an example for how spinning working and the speed and conservation of momentum that comes from pulling in your limbs during a spin.

Thank you so much for the lovely videos! They have helped me a lot in developing my skating skills as a leisure skater :)

I can't tell you how many coaches I've had whose one-foot spin instructions equated to "spin, then pick up one foot," and when you can't do it, they don't know why. This explains each element so much more clearly for someone without 10 years of muscle memory.

Thank you so much for this. I can’t skate for my life, but my 8 year old loves figure skating even though she struggles a lot with motor skills. She’s trying to learn a proper entrance but is getting so frustrated that she cannot seem to get the hang of it. Her coaches show her a spin, but don’t really help her with what she is doing wrong so she has learnt it the wrong way know, since she can’t do that half heart shape she takes an extra step. Hope that I might help her now with knowing this theoretically at least.

You are explaining it sooo nicely!!! Thanks!!!!

Anyway I’ve seen how we rarely see now the scratch forward spin, the last skater I ember doing it was Sasha Cohen. There are also many spirals not done anymore like the one where skaters go in one foot and the other leg way up like making a split. Again it was something we saw a lot in the 2000s but that one has stopped happening. Do you know why ?

Hi Julia, thanks for this tutorial - a quick question re the position drill: Can the position drill be practiced on either Bwd straight gliding (on the skating, spinning, foot) or BI edge? As the one foot spin is technically happening on BI edge after the three turn, wouldn't it be more helpful a skater to learn the sensation of holding the spin body position while moving backward instead of gliding forward as shown in this tutorial?

Could you maybe explain or make a video how to do this spin from backward crossovers ? (like you do at the end of the video) because your left arm swings over in a different way then!

This is a fantastic tutorial! I just seem to have trouble finding my rocker as, during my windup, I seem to slide sideways on my blade! They have been freshly sharpened, so that's no longer the issue, but I can't seem to wind my "three turn" into a tighter circle as I at one point just slide sideways at which point I have to start spinning (otherwise I come to a stand still) but I instantly hit my toe pick. Any tips on how to hold the windup properly without sliding? The two times I actually managed I instantly hit my rocker instead of my toe pick and I'd love to finally spin properly.

Ahhh when doing the spin, especially on a one foot entrance, I heavily lean into the inside edge and it kills my spin. Even after getting new sturdy boots and tying them tightly, it didn’t really help. Would there be any way to fix this? Thank you!

Can you do one just like this video but on how to bring your free leg around to do the scratch spin. 😊

My coach just tell me to be straight but i feel like my back cant get any straighter than it already is

Could you please post a video on how to do a 1 foot sit spin and a camel spin?

Probably. You'll get better instruction from KZread than you will from any in person coach. You'll need to your own initiative since you won't have the "I must learn this by Thursday" syndrome. In some cases a student might need an in person coach to correct something oddball like a worn out or poor fitting or cheapo skate, misaligned blade, flat feet, etc, that might prevent success without in person help.

I know this is 2 years late in offering advice, hooefully you’ve overcome fears and are still skating. If not, like many who give in to fear as excuse for failure, get your skates tuned up and check your fears at the door implementing this philosophy in EVERY DIFICULT CHALLENGE! A: In order to succeede, we MUST FAIL reoeatedly. “The two experiences are absolutely vital for PROGRESS!“ B: “EMBRACE YOUR FEARS As OPPORTUNITY to IMPROVE and ELIMINATE what is technically Self Doubt- or INHIBITIONS! You conculude any new action as a failure because you doubt your own abilities before even applying effort trying new things. It’s your way of staying confined in your comfort zone and deflecting any attempt to release you from inprisonment. C: Study the GOOD as a seed you’ve planted. Be patient as you nurture it, manicure it’s growth, and reap it’s full growth bounty! If this doesn’t help, findna “POSITiVE MENTOR“ who will help eliminate all your negativity Brau!
