Great tutorial for beginners like me!! Im 50 and I love learning from younger teachers ❤

Yes, it is very helpful. I have different kinds of spins (the ones with rocker and a square like two plates that I can use on any surface). Should I get one like yours? Have you tried different ones?

[@thebudisfamily9802]

You are amazing

Thank you for making the video! I've been practicing spins, but I tend to lose my balance quickly. Do you have any tips? I would appreciate it if you could tell me where to place my weight or any other advice.

Do you recommend any particular board to start (if you're just starting to learn)?

[@jiji2998]

I would recommend a metal spinner, they can be expensive so an alternative would be a Edea spinner, or a Jerry spinner

one good spinner i love is using ballet spinners which is the spinner she is using in the video the ballet spinner feels very smooth and lovely to spin on i don’t like metal spinners as when i’m spinning it makes me feel very unbalanced and i’ve used it for years so i decided to switch

I'm a "Rollerskater" do you think this would work for rollerskating?

[@adiplodino7791]

Yes!

How do you not get dizzy?

[@user-gb3tr7um5m]

You have to spot like look at a place on the wall or you will get used to spinning and won’t get as dizzy

[@GalaxxVA]

I always end up getting dizzy eventually but if I keep spinning I don’t notice it 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@user-gb3tr7um5m]

@@GalaxxVA When I get dizzy I just stop lol

[@GalaxxVA]

@@user-gb3tr7um5m lol, I do too after a bit but if I do it too much then I’ll be stopping for like 10 seconds between every spin 😂

As a figure skater, you just get used to it. It's different for dancers, they can get around that. However, for skaters, it just takes times.
