A question when you are spinning. When you start spinning and want to stop, does it stop randomly or do you stop it? If so, how do you stop it?

[@kayrakurt2093]

How are you gonna stop?

SAME- I was skating on a pond today and I fell so many times trying to spin properly! I can’t find out which part of the blade I should be spinning on.

[@DatGloriaVires]

@@alana4810 Forward a little but not too far forward. Also, the only way to get better is to try things without fear. Get yourself some padded pants and keep going. If you enjoy the ice enough you'll find the reward in the small advancements you make. :)

There's no one else on the ice, you're lucky. Every time I go skating it's full of people

[@Amphitera]

if you really want to practice anything (dancing, skating, swimming....), forget trying it in a public facility. There will never be room. You'll have to join a club and pay for extra lessons, and even then space will be sparse. Overpopulation will do that.

[@camz_2334]

If there is a lot of people, find the training area and make sure you practice and don’t just stand there

So true

[@annalog002]

Today, I attempted this spin for the first time. The best I could do was a half rotation. As with all things ice skating related, it is a lot harder than it looks.

[@CoachMarySkating]

you got this great start!

[@xavirobinn2788]

When I first started I did it on my own the ice kind of forced me I can actually do very small jumps now and my first time was 2 days ago

[@jesskim8596]

And it already looked hard to me lol

[@dana6858]

Dank Memes cool

[@captaincrunch784]

My spins improve dramatically after watching this! I wasn't balancing and centering myself at all and I actually got 4 rotations in!

[@IceCoachOnline]

Great job! We're glad the video helped you improve!

[@JohnSmithNE3478]

Definitely one of the best videos I've ever seen. No one ever tells you where to spend on the blade and I think that's what trips a lot of people up. You can't tell visibly that people are spinning on The Rocker of the blade. I had to find that out on my own

[@TheLarryBrown]

4 years on...have you watched more than three videos (counting this one) yet?

[@winniebeau5340]

I’m 14 and a horse rider, but love iceskating. I have my own skates and go ice skating a lot and your videos help me a lot since my parents say that I already do horse riding which is very expensive so I can’t follow figure skating lessons. Thank you so much!!

[@mclaynmusick9753]

I just got into figure skating, I live on a farm in the rural illinois, I never really paid much attention to this until the 2022 Olympics, just watching nathan chen, yumo kagiyama and shomo uno, I want to start to learn to figure skate. My only problem is confidence, learning to believe that I could skate. But I am willing to try cause this is so cool!

[@ChloeFloral]

Please may you do tutorials on like specific spins? Like camel or pancake?:) also I can’t jump high when I jump. I need help on flips and stuff! Would really appreciate it thanks ;)

[@evajohnson7483]

Also to help with the dizziness I learned in ballet is to spot or focus on one thing, as you spin sharply turn your head to keep looking at that thing. Idk if that made sense

[@matmaimai]

It helps if you spins slowly but for advance spins, I just get used to the dizziness

[@notimportant1637]

Yes i do contemporary and we learned that too. One of the first things you learn

[@angelinadelBuey1]

This doesnt apply on figure skating unfortunately. You spin way to fast to spot. And actually when you are first learning and spinning quite slowly they tell you not to spot.

i'm gonna try this today, wish me luck!

[@FLUFFCHIRP]

how did it go?

[@omayragonzalez3602]

I took class to learn how to skate most coach teach like this man and I couldn't skate not even spin. I always thought that they should put me in the harness so my body could feel the spin and then I can perfectly myself but they always said that for advance skaters. I believe there should be more great ice skating coach that can help skaters that hass no talent at all. They believe teaching like this to everyone any skaters would learn but they are wrong each person is different.

[@IceCoachOnline]

We're sorry to hear you have had a negative experience with the local coaches in your ice rink. Please bare in mind that this video is general advice intended to help people as a whole. For specific cases where someone is struggling, we would need to see what they are doing and give them advice and feedback based on what we see. Part of the job of coaching is to find a way to deliver the correct information and feeling of the move in a safe way to the student. As you mention, the approach should be based on what works with each individual student and adapted accordingly. If you have any questions, feel free to ask us!

[@omayragonzalez3602]

Hi thank you it has been my dream to be a figure skater but I can't skate. I have been like 10 couches they are great in teaching but not for a student like me. I don't know if you have coaches in NYC area like Chelsea Piers or Westchester ice casino, that I can paid and maybe this time I can really learn how to skate. I was thinking maybe I need a programmed to be choreograph so instead of figure skating school I can practice the program with the music and I can skate. My favorite program was Peggy Fleming at the Olympics, beautiful. Maybe on of your coach can teach me. Thank you have a beautiful day

[@odaholmestad]

My skates wont spin in a full circle. they kinda stop because they scratch the ice, any tips?

[@wisdomseeker3510]

Hi, if you mean a two-feet spin, and you are spinning CCW (counter-clockwise), you might try to stand rather on your heel on the RIGHT foot and on the rocker of your left foot lifting a bit your left heel; if you mean one foot spin, it used to happen to me I scratched systematically with my toe-picks unil I found this genious clip : kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6ubnXiqjt-diac where they explain HOW to find the balance on the ROCKER : you have to LIFT your toes unless you are going to scratch, thing about your toes when you engage in spinning. I hope this might be helpful. Enjoy! Cheers.

[@poshzandra3857]

Usually you spin on the ball of your foot so try that

[@IceCoachOnline]

This advice is excellent. I was about to type out exactly the same until I saw this comment

[@madic7375]

Do you have any tips for staying on the front part of your blade for one foot spins?? I have been struggling with having too much of my toe pick in the ice!

[@merb9867]

Do you need figure skates to do this or can you do it with hockey skates

[@ShellySkates]

You can do with hockey skates but it might be more difficult since the rocker is a little different and you wouldn't have the toe picks

[@elenq8655]

I love ice skating but somehow it’s so hard to spin or skate backwards for me lately... My friend told me yesterday when we went ice skating, that my left foot is bending out (again), my right foot stands straight on the ice and the ice skating shoe is tight on my right foot but I feel like it’s not on the left one. I once was able to skate backwards very well and was learning how to spin, I haven’t fully learned how to spin then I told myself I will continue next time I go ice skating. That day, when I wanted to continue learning how to spin it all felt so weird on my left foot, my left foot broke... I wasn’t caring at first but after the time I felt strong pain on my left foot I started to skate a little slower and went to the bank outside of the ice rink. It felt soooooo hard to walk and when I wanted to move my left foot in any way it was HUUUUUUUURTINGGG so bad. That all happened in 1 hour and i still had 3 hours left to stay but I was all by myself. I decided to go on ice and just practise some spins and not really “ice skating” forward or backwards. While I tried spinning I fell soooo bad that my left foot completely broke. The pain was unreal. Luckily a man who worked there called the ambulance and my parents. Now my foot is healed and I’m getting new Ice skating shoes... it’s my dream to become a figure skater and all skaters fall right? I will never stop ice skating, I may have to start from the beginning now but it’s worth it

[@IceCoachOnline]

We're sorry to hear about your injury! But happy to hear that you've recovered! Getting new skates is a good idea. If in future you feel some pain that isn't normal, it's worth getting it fully checked out before you injure yourself even more. Also, make sure you follow your rehab plan for your foot completely! We've all had nasty falls and injuries, it's the tough part of the sport! The best we can all do is take precautions to minimise this risk. Thank you for sharing your story!

[@r04dk1ll2]

Trying my best to learn how to skate and do cool spins >_< ive always wanted to learn! Thx

[@magicgirl2831]

A tip that I use that I don’t think was mentioned was that when you’re right about to go Spinning put more of your weight on your left foot (if you’re spinning left) and go a tad bit on your outer edge near your toes but not touching the toe pick. Idk this works for me

[@IceCoachOnline]

Thanks for the suggestion! We appreciate everyone helping each other out with additional tips and tricks :)

[@officialmarquezdellamore6888]

You're welcome :)

[@stewfeinstein1298]

Very good. I think you must have had an excellent coach teach you.

[@barbara1904]

How should you position your blades on the ice, where should your weight be?

[@IceCoachOnline]

if you're turning anti clockwise, try to put weight on the ball of the foot (left leg) and put the weight in the heel of the right foot. If turning clockwise, reverse that advice! Hope this helps.

[@tiphainedujon685]

[@erikabraga84]

Do ice skating principles apply to regular skating?

[@IceCoachOnline]

What kind of skates are you using? In-line? Quads? Pic skates? A lot of figure skaters work off the ice on pic skates and some world champion in-line skaters have transitioned to the ice very well, such as Dario Betti of Italy.

For a two foot spin are you putting your weight on your rocker on both of your feet or just one leg? I do about two revolutions then wobble and have to stop. Advice please!

even weight on both feet!

[@stormyfluffball2895]

Thank you Iv got a comp tomorrow I need help

[@sandybling]

Hi there, thanks for this video. Does this work with ice hockey skates too?

[@IceCoachOnline]

Yes the technique is exactly the same, however it is perhaps a little more difficult in hockey skates as the rocker is different and there is no toe pick. That said I have seen a lot of people manage to do this and more in hockey skates.

[@randomcubing7106]

I'd hope I can do it the next time I head to the rink- I have a slight case of pelvic tilt...

Maybe but I think doing this with figure skates is more accurate. You could try though!

[@maryrua]

Hey, how did you get on? I want to do the same. :)

[@MrMendel12]

@@maryrua Completely possible. Use the method outlined at 0:55 in this video, and check the first minute of this video for a few tips: kzbin.info/www/bejne/epammWWkj8ynmLs Keep in mind the rocker on a figure skate is towards the ball of the foot, whereas the rocker on a hockey skate is in the middle so you're going to want to put your center of balance around the middle of the skate (this is what makes it more difficult to spin in hockey skates).

[@ram0973]

Thank you. Can you tell which blades is best to buy? Your blades is so fast. I 've bought a MK Flight 10.25"/02N blades, I cannot skate on them.

[@IceCoachOnline]

The blades we use are John Wilson Gold Seal, but they are for high level skaters an not necessary before you are trying very high level moves. I would say the issue you have is less likely due to the blade you mention, but more likely an issue with the boot they are on. Perhaps the boot is not the correct size for your foot, making it very hard to find the correct points of balance on your blade. I wrote a guide on my Patreon to help people check they have the correct sized skates. It might be very helpful for you 🙂

[@notimportant1637]

Do you need professional figure skating skates for these spins or can i do them with those skates that "fit all" which you get when you go skating in a public place?

[@IceCoachOnline]

As a professional that's been skating for over 20 years... even I might struggle to do a spin in those "fit all" skates but using your own skates that you can really get used to can help you improve dramatically

[@mercityart]

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, what can I do if I have no places near me that teach ice/figure skating? I really want to trane in doing that, my goal is to be able to skate to "in regards to love: agate" but I can't learn if I can't trane. Any tips?

[@IceCoachOnline]

[@ゆぅか-i8n]

Is this a yuri on ice reference? Lol

[@abjklmrsakagamiali1651]

Every time I do a one foot spin, my foot falls to a semi-deep inside edge. I think its my overpronation, but I'm not sure. Any tips?

[@ShellySkates]

It could be a couple things. Is your free hip up? If you are dropping your free hip, this could cause the body to fall off the spinning axis and in turn you could fall to the inside edge. Or while you're spinning, are you not on the rocker of the foot? Do you feel like you are pressuring more towards the middle/flat of your foot?

[@mexhellee]

How about how to stop

[@IceCoachOnline]

Release your arms and leg from the tight position and you will slow down enough to stop the spin in a controlled way

[@mexhellee]

Ice Coach Online lol I totally know how to do that. /totally/

[@maryrua]

Can it be done on the hockey skates?

[@IceCoachOnline]

Yes it can! Like a lot of tricks on the ice, they are harder in hockey skates but a lot can be done. A two footed spin will not be too bad but going on to one foot will be a struggle.

[@CaToRi-]

Now I know what I was doing wrong when I was trying to spin on one foot

[@xxsweetrockxx]

I do exactly this and keep my weight on the left foot, however I always seem to be going backwards and I really dont know how to control this. Any tips?

[@ShellySkates]

Can you tell where the pressure on your foot is? If you feel pressure on the inside (arch) of your foot and having the body weight more towards the middle/heel of the foot, this may be the cause of you feeling that backwards motion. You want to have that left foot on the ball/rocker of the blade and have your foot leaning slightly to the outside of your foot.
