Somehow no one mentioned to me that the spin is supposed to be on the outside edge. Thank you!

Some skaters tell me they are on the middle of their blade when they backspin.

That surprises you? I have found the quality of ice instruction to be abysmal, at best.

@@SpitefulAZ Regardless of what amateur skaters might have told you, backspin needs to be done on a backwards outside edge, at least until you get good and start spinning fast. Even then, the slow backspin that is done before you start spinning fast is on an outside edge.

1:05 during the first demonstration of that "easier" entry, there is an edit during the spin..........why??????

I’m quite good at twizzles at that side but it messes up any attempts to do backspin as I auto twizzle. Any exercises to find the sweet spot?

Yeh the pivot one is probably the best or see my video for finding the sweet spot this will work for both forward and backward spins: kzread.info/dash/bejne/h66XsZWGYaynl7A.htmlsi=A7XcSjwNX4vPxZR2 And this one will help you visualise it… kzread.info/dash/bejne/o52N05qMYsW3ZqQ.htmlsi=s-hNUYsLPi3zD6Wl

I can also do the twizzles, but on the backspin I trip over and land on my left leg. Especially in the open position. What could it be except lack of core stability?

I love your videos. I am always trying your exercises. I have been trying for a while. I have done it from pivot, 3 turns, and entry no entry, you name it, but I am still having a problem staying in the correct place. I usually find it and start right, but after 1-2 revolutions, I fall out of it. My coaches are having me do a twizzle to stay in the right part of the blade, pivot, and use the harnest so I don't feel afraid to fall. What could I do to stay on the outside edge and have more revolutions? What am I doing wrong?

Hey Thank You! It’s hard to say without seeing your spin. May I suggest you consider using a video analysis credit on my website you can send me a quick video of your backspin and I will send you a five minute Feedback video in return with specific exercises, addressing any issues I see. www.iSkateCoach.co.uk

Watch Coach Julia's video on this topic and do all the intermediate exercises she does. Any of those you can't do (which will be all of them), will give you something easy to work on. Don't complain that you can't backspin when you haven't taken the effort to learn those intermediate steps.

@TheLarryBrown, is this for me? I actually watch them, and I subscribe and pay for the "inside" so I can see more and talk to her. I have done all the exercises, I have 3 coaches, and I still can't do it. The backspin is hard for me. I don't just complain like you said. If it is easy for you, that is great. But I am not as 20 year old, single, with no kids. I have two jobs and 3 kids. So, yes, it IS hard for me.

​@@lilianmatheson3664Just wanted to say I get it. I've been practicing forward spin for 3 plus years, and I've worked with two coaches, watched all spin videos I could find, done all exercises therein, did at least hundreds of hours of spin practice on ice, and the most I have gotten is 7 revolutions. I feel I'm getting more consistent and in time I'll spin well. You will, too!
