Hi, Thank you for the great tips on starting off. These are much harder than spins on the ice for sure. I really appreciate your safety tips for wearing shoes, and also the warning about getting off the spinner when things go wrong instead of trying to "save it"! A safety tip of my own is to put masking tape on the bottom of the spinner to cover the rocker. A plastic spinner on laminate flooring was just way too little friction -- with the tape, it still spins very easily but doesn't slip out so easily. Just replace the tape when it starts to wear out.

You are my most favorite ! Great training tips. I have a great coach as well. Im 63 skated years ago. Wanted olympics... Hahaha...no$ and wrong color. Started again @ 56 got depressed and quit. Now bk again...in it to win it. Now I have a weak leg...psoas real tight as well. So ill be watching as much as im able!! Thank you soo much for what you do. You're funny.. and adorable lol.

Just bought one at the skating shop and it’s so fun yet so hard ! I don’t have enough space on parquet floor so I’m spinning on tiles. I’m worried about the damage it could do to the sole...

Thank you for the super helpful video! Would you recommend using an ankle weight on the free leg to simulate the weight of the skate boot? I'm learning the scratch spin, and the thing that always puts me off balance is the "skate" pulling me outside of the spin.

I just got 1 and already it is helping! I spin on marble, which is bloody scary if I put strong force into the spin

Thank you so much omgg

XD great video! Intrigued to know if the spinner scratches the floor at all? Cheers

My spinner has said "get off, mate" to me quite a few times! 🙈 Wish I'd had this video when I first got it. One question I have had for a while: My foot is actually bigger than that type of spinner. How should I step on it? (Have it centred under my foot, or...?)

@IceCoachOnline

4 жыл бұрын

Glad you liked the video! I would recommend that you make sure that you have the ball of your foot on some part of the spinner. The reason is because most of the spins you will be doing on the ice will have you turning with the weight on the ball of the foot, but the exception being advanced spins where you change the edge of the spin.

I'm 22 and I never been on ice before but figure skating was always my biggest dream and I'll be starting lessons in 3 months! 😊 In the last 4 years I worked hard on my flexibility and I started training and practicing some tricks off ice around 10 months ago, and even got a spinner a few months ago and already got pretty used to it! I see that skaters usually spin to the left which is weird to me cause it's so much easier for me to spin and do tricks like the scratch spin or camel spin when I spin to the right on my left leg I just wonder, how hard is it on ice? Is it easier learning spinning on ice than on a spinner?

I have an Edea spinner which I bought last year. Totally agree 02:07. It is much harder than spinning on ice.

I struggle to get into the hook position on ice. I always lose my balance when I do it. On ice, I was taught to push and throw myself towards the direction I'm going, then swing my right leg from the back to the side and place it in the front. Perhaps I don't have the right technique.

My spinner has just arrived. I tried spinning with this technique and It definitely made difference in terms of balance. Thanks a lot for this video! So, yes It is very hard to centralize with spinner. I have decentralization problem when I try camel spins. Do you have any tricks on this?

@IceCoachOnline

Glad to hear the video helped you out! It's hard to say without seeing your camel spin, but my guess is that you are not correctly positioned over your standing leg, possibly you free hip is not open enough which is making you fall into the circle too much. You should try to work on bracing that free side up and over the skating side. Practice balancing in the position on the spinner without spinning. If you struggle to do this it will be very hard to do when you add the spinning in. I'm working making another spinner video talking about different positions.

@markmcnabb4777

3 жыл бұрын

Hi Steven, Spinning is something that your body needs to adapt to, but it takes time and regular practice. I don't normally get dizzy from spinning anymore (been skating for many years), but if I take a couple weeks off I can feel it! So at the start just try to spin a 2-3 rotations a few times a day and do it everyday. Before long you will see that you can do that without getting dizzy, then you can add a few more rotations. Keep doing that just adding bit by bit until your body adapts to it. And when I am talking about spinning here, it can even be just turning by stepping around smoothly on two feet while keeping your upper body and head steady. Don't spot, and when you feel dizzy just stop. The coaches video here about starting on a spinner would be great practice because you start by doing just one rotation at a time. Maybe you can do two or three of these in a row, before you start to get tired and feel dizzy. Then just stop and try again later after a rest. After you can do a few of these single rotation exercises in a row without getting dizzy, then add on the open/leg forward position and do that combo until you can do it well without getting dizzy. Soon you will be on the last step! Also be sure to practice the steady standing position that he showed on the spinner. This is a very good exercise for strengthening the core muscles needed for spinning. You can even do it off the spinner standing on the ball of your foot. It works well that way too.

🤣🤣🤣I love the over exaggerated infomercial slip and fall due to wearing socks.

How would you best use these to practice 3 turns and brackets?

@IceCoachOnline

4 жыл бұрын

You stand your foot on it, the foot you want to turn on that is, and you walk through the movement just like you would on the ice. Using the upper body and lower body counter positions to make the turn happen on the floor and maintaining balance on the one foot. We practice this a lot in some of the zoom classes.

actually, I found if you do it more on a grippy surface you get more friction to work with hence using physics in the body to control

This is so informative 😍 is it good for a complete novice skater to try this tho?

Found out 2 weeks ago about spinners. I am so excited to have at it. Even at 51 years I still skate in my dreams and bought skates in wild determination to blur the day away inside. Thanks a bunch. Your my new coach! One question~ Am I nuts to try this with my real skates on? Yippee 💫

Are you asking if you should try the spinner with your skates on????????? Please don't! They are dangerous enough with your shoes on 😂From teaching spinner classes for the past 8 months, I have found that improving skills on the spinner has surprisingly good results when your body/mind connects the dots between the off ice and on ice work.

Can you do the right leg pls

Do you mean right leg as in spinning on the right leg in the same direction? (I did a video covering this already - backspin). I only spin this direction though, I would have to find a lefty to demonstrate the other direction!

Ok Thank you🥳

can you use the spinner on concrete? I would like to get one but I don't have enough free space to use it inside my flat

If you dont have a spinner can you replicate this with hard floors with just your socks?

The people at my rink use these on the carpet we have on the floor. The carpet isn't fluffy, and quite hard and compact. Its a lot more fun when you feel yourself fall XD

Yeah I'm going to find something different to spin on next time!

Ive also seen a disc spinner where u spin on the ball of yor foot.. 😲

I have carpeted floors at home and I just can't figure our how to make the spinner work. I tried putting a piece of ply or perspex down , but it doesn't help much, cause i think it is still sinking somehow. I tried it in the office on the concrete floor last week and it was amazing, but not sure how to resolve the home situation.

@@IceCoachOnline Yeah! I think it's great exercise for balance and rotation in general but spinning on ice is actually way different... And spinner is for some reason better for backward spin than forward and things like loop jump.

I wonder how everyone’s doing having to have time off the ice? I’m finding it hard at the minute because I miss it so much! What’s everyone been doing to keep motivated? I’m hoping we will be able to skate again sometime soon but it still seems like it’s a long way off yet. Does anyone think it’s possible to social distance at the ice rink and if so, how?

Our season was about to end anyways and would resume before October. I'm kind of glad for the breather although I still miss the ice. I was wondering about social distancing. I see a ton of problems. Such as the cold moist air, masks not really being an option and space being a luxury for the rich and powerful 😂 However, looks like several medicaments are currently being put to work. And they seem to help with heavy symptoms. If test go well, we'll return to normal life possibly even by September or so. Since the lack of medication for patients with too heavy symptoms is the main reason there's shutdowns in first place. It's going to be alright. A lot can be done with a break. And motivation wise, now is the best time to get tons of advice from professionals who're offering free streams via ISU etc.

I find it very hard to stay motivated, but we started zoom classes with my coach and it helps. I don’t know when it would be possible to skate on ice again. Maybe they can reduce the capacity to allow for more distancing, but then it doesn’t work out financially. I think masks are not a problem so long as I can actually skate! I saw pictures of people skating in masks in South Korea.

@@tranquilitytranquility1407 Maybe it works for beginners, but the moment you move a little more, masks are really a problem. They make it really hard to breathe and you're also supposed to switch them when they're getting too moist from your breath and in the moist surroundings of the rink, masks might end up doing more harm than good. Not to mention dripping noses are so common, people will pull them down all the time due to that. That makes them touch theit faces. 😂 It's really complex. If there were easy answers, rinks (and a lot of other things) would be open.

Laura no way could social distancing work with a public session, and if they were to limit numbers for that, the rink would be running at a loss....the same for even private training...while you could definately social distance, it would be financially detrimental to the rink. It’s so hard, when all you want to do is get back on. Counting down the days is hard when you don’t have a date when restrictions are going to be lifted, and made worse by the fact some other sports are being considered for re-opening..

Interesting conversation here, I was speaking to Stefano recently (he was my first guest on the live stream) and he is back on the ice teaching his students in Berlin, but they are only allowed on the ice for 1 hour per day. They must keep a 2 meter distance from each other in the changing rooms and they are only allowed 6 people on ice.

Why the spinner can't be designed to simulate the rocker on the skates? Just by bringing the curve forward???

@IceCoachOnline

4 жыл бұрын

It does have a curve to the bottom, but it's insanely difficult to rotate in it, let alone try and rotate on a specific point of the curve. That's what I found when trying it out personally.

What is the name of that thing????I forget it😔

The spinner is really hard and I found that I had similar issues. No harm in trying to spin both ways, but typically skater ls only spin one way. This can lead to the body becoming unbalanced however, so not a bad idea to practice both ways on the spinner.
