Hello! This is a video of my camel spin figure skating progress starting with my first few attempts at the age of 20 all the way through my most recent attempts in early 2024. If you are new to my page, I'm an adult figure skater that started my skating journey at 18 and eventually started learning jumps + spins around the age of 20. I truly enjoy sharing my skating progress!
Camel spin might be the one position I have had the most issues with because of the sciatic nerve pain in my lower back. I had a fall a few years ago resulting in a concussion and somewhat permanent nerve damage in my lower back. Regardless, this has yet to stop me from skating or working on elements like spins. The reason why I mention this is because I often get lots of comments telling me to straighten my leg, however I deeply struggle with that because of the nerve pain. Small corrections like that are easier said than done considering that sometimes it is physically challenging or even impossible depending on my level of pain. Thankfully with many hours of physical therapy I have started to notice improvement over this past year. I truly think my old skates were also part of the problem. They offered little to no arch support for me, which ended up making my pain worse. Overall it is the small victories like not falling out of a camel spin in extreme pain during my program that I am most proud of. I am not the type of competitive skater striving for perfection. I simply enjoy challenging myself and gradually improving as time goes on. If you took the time to read all of that thank you so much! I hope to share more camel spin updates in the future.
