How to Do a Two Foot Spin on Roller Skates - Tutorial

[@kaylabuium4619]

I’ve been rollerskating for a month now, and my biggest goal was to learn how to spin. This video finally taught me how to do it. Now I can heal toe spin and I feel absolutely incredible. Thank you for this!

[@ThatNicoleFiore]

I think roller skating asmr should be a thing, cuz the sound of the wheels gliding on the smooth floor was rlly satisfying

[@ThatNicoleFiore]

Shannon haha I agree!

I need to practice this. I lost all my spins which I switched from ice to roller. I'm used to entering a 2ft spin from a pivot or just a forward pump.

[@dollbabi77]

I started skating competitively in 2017. I've been a speed skater for 20 years. I keep loosing my core when I heel/toe spin. The coach's will not show anything advanced until I'm ready. I want to teach myself. Thanks for this. I need to work out to tighten my core. I ultimately would like to one foot spin.

[@Vinnymaximum]

Samee! One foot spins would.be nice!

[@maltobello]

Is there any advice on going from 1 rotation to 2+? Is it just a matter of more initial thrust and pulling everything in tightly? Thank you!!!

[@emilylerias6253]

Hi!!! i've been practicing these like "c-turn" spins/stops, and I have a tendency of dragging my skates like I can feel them dragging when I turn, and i'm not sure if its because i dont know how to spread eagle (like ankle to ankle) turn yet, but i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong!

[@jay_la_kiss]

This progression is great and easy to follow! What do we look at so that we wont get dizzy???

[@ThatNicoleFiore]

I personally don’t spot like dancers do, although you can try that (find something in front of you and look at it each time you come around). I focus on keeping my chin level and head in the same spot. Keeping my head still and tightening my core helps me with dizziness 💗

My wheels won’t roll smoothly 🤔 my leg goes way out....

[@general-luna-antonio3844]

Woah thank you this helps me understand

[@anaizm.5242]

Does truck looseness play any factor here? I feel almost like I’m dragging my feet instead of gliding the wheels & using my edges. I’m not sure if it’s my form or if trucks need to be looser for this maneuver 😅 Also, thank you so much for these videos. Because of this video I feel the closest I ever have to correctly doing a turn. And I’m so excited to see progress 🥹🥹💗

[@ThatNicoleFiore]

The looseness/tightness of the trucks can totally be a factor! Don’t be afraid to loosen both the front and back trucks to see if it feels better. You can also send me a video on Instagram if you want me to take a look!

[@anaizm.5242]

Thank you thank you thank you!

[@FreyaIsabelle]

Hey I can heel toe spin but if I try to keep all wheels on the ground I loose my roll and just wheel drag.. does this mean I need to loosen something on my skates? Thanks, amazing tutorials!

[@jessicahornsey4792]

I‘m having the same problem and checked the comments, Nicole suggested practicing pushing into the edges more and if that doesn‘t work then maybe need to loosen/adjust the trucks/axis to stop the wheels from dragging so much. I‘m gonna keep trying, fingers crossed one of these things works hahah 😅 good luck!

[@maxisyoon8316]

god i rlly cant do the half circle with all 4wheels (one foot) on the ground. it needs to be toe or heel. is it just me? my skates only costs 49$ tho

ahhhhh I’m so stuck in this, I can get 3/4 of the way on my right side and only 1/4 on the left I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong

[@andreeaArt_]

Hi. How much time it took you to be able to do the spin properly?

[@CoolEditz]

I have Sure Grip Avanti wheels and they really grab the floor. Would this be why I can't do circular motions with my skates without going on 2wheels or is the idea to be on 2 wheels and they're just so low to the ground you can't see in the video?

[@littlemisslouis1856]

Hello! I love your tutorials! May I ask which wheels you use?

[@ThatNicoleFiore]

👍👍🤩🤩

[@millie7642]

how do you get the half circle so nice? like my foot either goes out diagonally rather than a circle and the wheel screeches from me trying to get it in the direction i want but is never smooth

[@ThatNicoleFiore]

Millie your trucks/action may be too tight. When you bend and really try to get that sharp, does it still screech?

[@schausprecherin]

I had that problem too. I needed to loosen the kingpin a bit.

[@zub-zub8843]

I feel like a heel toe spin might be easier. How do I keep all four wheels on the ground and spin :0

Your tutorials are always so amazing and informative but boy did I hurt my bum doing this one I fell so hard on my ass It felt my spine moved DX So I ordered butt pads that way I can continue practicing ha ha

[@videosformyfamilies]

Is weight even between both feet during the spin?

[@chacha3804]

Do gummy wheels on asphalt make this move harder ?

[@Beinasuniverse]

I know that this is an old video :( but can you answer me? :O I bought the Tempish aqua ones but they have kinda "sticky" wheels 85A and are not able to spin around...only on my front ones or when the balance is on the back ones :/ should I switch to harder wheels that can allow me to spin smoothly? Or can it be because my strenght is not there yet? :D I just hooped onto them for the first time so :D that is probably the issue as well!!

[@ThatNicoleFiore]

Hi! What kind of surface are you spinning on?

[@Beinasuniverse]

@@ThatNicoleFiore wow you answered!! :O :D well on my wooden lino floor, then I tried in the skatepark and even on my carpet for more stability :D but no matter where I tried - I wasn´t able to swing around as you in the video and other skaters.. like when I´m trying to spin it´s "sticking" to the floor stopping me from doing it..

[@kryslynemai1148]

are there specific wheels used for spinning?

[@Staladen_]

Heh. I don't stretch. I've been skating for 7 years.. i'm 15.. and old person at my rink (the rest are 14 or under). I should probably stretch. But NAH.

[@amck.2032]

Okay, so I'm just starting to learn these, and I have a quick question, are my wheels supposed to squeak a ton when I do the spins? I feel like when my skate gets behind me on whichever leg, they squeak. Is that normal? (You're videos are so helpful, by the way! Thank you!)

[@ThatNicoleFiore]

Yes, that is totally normal! A way to prevent that is to work on pressing the edges a little more. If it’s still squeaking, you may need to loosen the action of your trucks/axis of the skate

[@amck.2032]

@@ThatNicoleFiore Okay, thank you so much!!

[@daperd3]

Still don't understand how to do both feet together. Can you offer a different explanation? I can do scissors and each leg separately

[@ThatNicoleFiore]

daperd3 yes! I’ll work on a different way of explaining it

[@mayafausto3685]

does anyone know the brand of skates she's wearing??? they're so cute i love them!

[@ankicat3425]

Roller skating is definitely easier after you've done figure skating. A lot of the moves are similiar. Unfortunately, after my tibia plataeu fracture and brittle bones, from after chemotherapy, I'm scared of doing both roller skating n ice skating, cos I don't want to injure myself again

[@saoirse_flies]

My best advice for that is first, buy the armor and wear it, and second, invest some deliberate time intentionally learning how to fall. Dirty School of Skate has several excellent videos about falling safely here on KZbin. I have several friends who have all recently started skating as well as myself, and those of us who have practiced falling are so far uninjured while those who haven't both broke their wrists in their first couple weeks at the rink. Falling safely is hands down THE MOST important thing I have learned about roller skating to date.

[@stevenmorrison360]

Why does it Echo Wherever You Are

[@iridescentfaerie1252]

What wheels do you suggest? The wheels on my luna skates did NOT like doing this on a laminate floor. Wheel got stuck to the floor and I went down

30 minutes of trying to just get a smooth half circle so far and giving up out of frustration. I've loosened my trucks up at least 4 times now and still my skate just doesn't roll in a circle no matter how much I lean or distribute my weight. Don't understand what I'm doing wrong...I'm still somewhat of a beginner but I have most basic skills down solidly yet I can't seem to even get started on this :(

[@kasiakokos11]

I don't "spot" when I spin, I just go into a different zone...the dizziness comes and goes, but with practice it starts to fade 😀

[@elsalucie3849]

Your tutorials are amazing! Thank you so much for what you do. Just wondering- i'm a beginner and I'm having some trouble with my wheels sort of... catching on the floor when I try to spin? I have 82a wheels on my skates- would it make a difference to my spins if I got harder wheels? Or is it my trucks? What would you recommend? Thank you again! You do the BEST skate tutorials on KZbin!

[@ThatNicoleFiore]

Elsa Lucie thank you sooo much!! It would definitely be easier with harder wheels. The softest wheel I typically wear is a 92. Sometimes I pull out the 88, but that’s for really slippery floors. You may also need to adjust your trucks, but it’s most likely the wheels 😊

I used to do ballet and we did something called 'spotting' where you focus on one point and quickly whip your head around as you spin so you are looking at the same spot for as long as possible. I don't know if that can be applied to skating, but don't see why it can't! Hope this helped :)

Thank you, going to give that a try! I’m still at the one foot at a time part, so halve circles already make me dizzy, but hopefully it’s also part getting used to.
