Thanks! Hope you have fun with it

Great video! If I got from two foot to one foot, I find my skate/heel catches the ice.. do you have any tips as to why this is?

Heel contact is a common problem when first learning the Teapot. There’s a few fixes depending on how bad the problem is. For only slight contact problem: Try rotating the extended leg by a few degrees (toe out and heel inward). This would make the blade heel further from the ice. If rotation doesn’t fix the problem, it could be a combo of muscle recruitment and balance. Hmmm, a video will make explaining this easier. (Someone play some waiting room music….)

@@IceSkatingLondon thanks for the reply. It's probably to do with muscle recruitment and balance as I only got back into skating 5 months ago after about a 10 year break and currently working on silver ^^ guess I had better start working out! BTW, it's nice to see an adult do the teapot. When kids do it, they go to the extreme and it felt like that's what I had to work towards, but you've set a more achievable standard, so thank you 😊

Great tutorial! Many thanks 😀. How long do you have to hold the teapot position in order for it to count as a pass? 👍

Hi Sian, If you’re taking classes then your instructor will either tell you how long they want you to hold or you can ask to be clear. Most important I think is to maintain control of the shape from standing to the bottom (bending low enough is also part of the measure of success) and back again.
