  3:25 that's a good point about the lower center of gravity and I had thought about that, but another benefit of saying down and keeping your knees bent until longer into the spin is that it really helps you stay off the toe picks somehow. I was actually in rehearsal for Herr Drosslemeyer and had a two foot spin in my routine and rehearsal was not going well. Coach Katie broke ranks and did the shocking action of giving me free advice and advised me to "stay down in the knees" and it make an immediate and dramatic improvement in my ability.

  1:55 another beginner way popularly taught is a "marching" entrance where you stand and march in a rotation and then spin. That never really worked for me. For me the best was pushing on the wall.

  1:30 I don't like the "pivot" entry. First off, doing a pivot is not easy. You have to watch a video on that and practice and work it up, but we're supposed to be working on two foot spin. Bleah. Then whenever I try to do that pivot, all I do is keep skating in circles and gouge a giant sink hole in the ice. And finally, a key challange to learning two foot spin is learning how not to spin on the left toe and instead how to make that left foot skate in backwards circles, and the pivot is not teaching you that. On the contray, it's teaching you to spin on the toe and that's bad.

  "A bit wobbly....." LOL. You know when my two footed spin is great! When I show someone how to do it. If some public skater comes up to my during the session and asks me to show them, I say sure, you just pump your right foot to skate in a circle, pump pump pump, and the gliiiiiiiide. When I show someone that, when I get to the "glide" part, my two foot spin is as smooth as silk and is never better than that, because I'm doing it with no voltage. As soon as that person goes away and I keep practicing on my own it totally falls apart.

  (1) As a beginner to spin, I want to build muscle memories in dual directions - clockwise and anticlockwise. But other skaters seem exerting pressure on me from it. (2) I can't feel the acceleration when reducing the radius from helicopter-like spin to self embracing. No idea what's wrong with my spin ....

• 
  @iskatecoachКүн бұрын

  Both ways isn’t a bad idea, I think early on if one way feels more natural you should stick with it 👍🏼 The helicopter spin - the trick to it is to feel the spin pulling your arms out, so try not to resist the spin energy, let it pull the arms out first, that way you’ll have something to pull back on. If you can’t feel that you need to try and spin faster using your feet to create more energy… 👍🏼

  @@kxw777 That"s a key challange and ultimately the answer is 7 months dedicated practice, but there is an exercise of doing a backwards one foot glide on the left foot, extending the right foot forward, and practice one foot glide backwards with the toe pick just tickling the ice. Not off the ice, not scraping, just a constant very light scraping. When you can do this you will have learned how to hold the blade steady at an angle that will skate on the rocker but not scrape the toe pick. As it sounds, not at all easy to learn to do.

•

  Kids slowing down just need reminding, make a big deal when they do slow down so they feel rewarded to repeat the calmer entry. Adults bending knee, you could get them to do a gliding dip in a straight line first, encourage more bend in that before you spin. If they tell you they’re bending, show them the video of their spin, usually they feel they bend more than they actually are… hope that hekps

  Thanks to your previous video, my 2-foot spin feels better. I took several of your advices today and they really helped. More importantly, now I know how to practice, to get more confident and achieve more momentum to use for faster/more spins. One-foot spin? When spinning (counterclockwise), I am quite sure more of my weight is on my left leg (the scribbles in the ice say so), which seems to be correct. Occasionally, the right leg flies off the ice for a short while but then I quickly feel I am not stable enough and the right leg must go back on the ice to support the spin. Anyways, thank you for the great video, I appreciate the progress made so far, after just one session. 👍

• 
  @TheLarryBrown2 күн бұрын

  @@peterbubeliny6775 You need to put equal weight on your right and left foot. And "scribbles" are bad, instead you want something resembling "circles." If you put most weight on the left foot you are trying to spin on the toe like a ballerina and that's not right. Trying to spin on the toe will give you those scribbles, which look like a string of long hand lower case ooooos and indicate you are traveling, and looping lopsided. Instead of trying to spin on the toe you need to spin around a point halfway between your two feet. Also your left foot is not spinning like you would think, it must be skating backwards in a small circle.

  @@TheLarryBrown Thank you for your insight. I thought I was progressing towards one-foot spin by having more weight on the left foot.

  This is the most thorough two-foot spin tutorial I’ve seen! Thank you! My two-foot spin was not that solid when I started learning one-foot spin. It’s been over three years and I’m still struggling. I’ll practice two-foot to get a better sense of balancing on the right spot. Somehow at the end of the entry edge when the LFO three turn happens, my left blade tends to wobble or shift. I don’t know how to describe it more precisely. Anyhow, I just have trouble establishing the sense of really balancing on my left foot with my arms out.

  Would this be an issue with hip strength or something more like hypermobility? What exercises would help correct this?

• 
  @iskatecoach6 күн бұрын

  Hey Alison, I think it’s just creating the right movement pathways for the free leg. Until you ice skate (or do a sport that requires hip movements) you really only use your hips in limited ways day to day, so it gaining control of the internal rotation around the hip joint. Some people are naturally more open in their hips, they are often good at spreads! And some are naturally more closed. Either way you can train the hip movement. So the fix here is really to work the hip joint control. At the start of your skating journey this is quite simply the action we use in a “lemon” and half lemon. So they would work if the focus was on the control of the hip. You could also do isolation techniques to practice turning the hip in, out, and neutral much like ballet dancers do on the barre.

  Paul; I am writing this comment before I watch the video. My two foot spin is not happening. I've been working on it for too long and it's no good. I formerly preferred to skate on dull skates because That makes hockey stops easier. After my skates got too dull and I had them sharpened, I felt like I had to learn to skate all over again so I decided to sharpen them on time, so now I'm skating on sharp blades. When I do my two feet spin I really feel those blades biting the ice. If I get lucky and position the blades well I feel them spin, but other times I feel them scraping. I have been able to do a decent two foot spin for a long time, 6 or 9 revolutions. My normal spin is 6, and if I get lucky and also put in a little more power the most I have ever done is 10. I decided it's not going to be easy and I out focus on it and I practice at least 20 spins every session, but I can't get to 10+ revs. I have heard various coaches say how to place the feet. Coach Julia say pigeon toed, but she doesn't elaborate. Other coaches say parallel. So I have mixed instruction on that. I lend creedance to Coach Julia but I have tried various positiions and nothing clicks. One thing that most coaches don't even mention is spinning on the inside edges. It seems that some of the keys for me are spinning on the inside edges, putting a lot of weight on my right foot, spining a circle around a point equidistant between my feet, and making sure my left foot skates backward and doesn't just spin like a pirouette. I can't wait to watch your video now and try your tips!

• 
  @iskatecoach12 күн бұрын

  I haven’t actually made an in detail video for the two spin Larry but you have prompted me to think about this. There’s a few things I would like to suggest you try which I will mention now and hopefully in a video soon first thing is you talk about your foot placement thinking about edges, etc so what I like to teach, if you’re spinning in an anti clockwise direction, you will be on the rocker of your left foot and the heel( the back end of the blade) of your right. This allows you to spin without hitting the toe pick or dragging the middle part of the blade especially when they are sharp, which creates snow and friction. Quick tip, I will give you about doing a half lemon with your right foot just before you bring your feet together for stability and speed as they come back in.

  ​@@iskatecoachI've delayed thanking you because I wanted to reply with some analysis, but I didn't get to it. Thanks for the advice Paul. I knew about the "left rocker, right heel" technique but not all coaches teach that. Some teach both rockers. That is so frustrating because if you get conflicting teaching like that you have to work on both techniques until you figure which one works better for you, but like you said, it may be 7 months! Since you say left rocker and right heel I will move forward with that. I tried it yesterday and it was working, but I felt like it was more because the sharp edge on my skate blade is getting a little dull and I seem to skate much worse on sharp blades. Anyway....thank you Paul for the personal advice. I'd write more but I'm off to the ice now!

  PAUL!!! YOU ARE ***AMAZING***!!!! SUCCESS!!!! And I am your star pupil. So after my coach dropping 60 seconds of advanced backwards 3 turns on me and then saying "Go...Do," and then I tried a few and found out it's not that easy and I left the ice. So yesterday, after having watched and studied and memorized your video, I went to the ice for practice. Recalling as much of your teaching as I could by memory, I went through your "start on the wall, start on two feet," etc 12 step program and I did it! At every step of the way I felt my ability growing and then I started skating the circle and going into it with a forward outside three turn and then twisting the body outside the circle, press down the heel, rise up and counter rotate the shoulders to check. And it worked! A short ten minutes of practice and I was able to do it one foot and towards the end I felt it start to lock in. I was beyond amazed. Some of the keys for me were....basically everything you said. LOL. But seriously...if I had to pick one thing I would say it was the twisting of the body outside the circle and THEN the turn. It also helped immensely that you taught that for ALL backwards three turns you have to twist your body to face outside the circle. So seldom in this world can you quote an absolute rule, so that really helped memorize the needed action/direction. It alsi helped how you explained that "to check" is to twist the shoulders opposite the hips, and that really helped even though I already knew what checking was and could do it, but as I am a guy that needs theory, it was helpful how you explained it. I loved it!
