hey guys it's Mary welcome back to my channel today is part two of my back spin
tutorial the advanced version be sure to check out the first one if you
haven't already and and let's gets to the advanced backspin we are
going to have a new pattern on the line consisting of two Us we're going to
start off on a nice forward inside edge left arm in front and keep that
then we're gonna push off the t position into the hook for the beginner
version of this let's start off with our arms in a hoop position we're
not gonna have as much speed as when we have our arms open we'll get to that
later but it's gonna teach us these
fundamentals notice how my first u is a forward inside edge second you start off
with the T position don't kick that left leg up
don't let that leg drag on the ice we're going to start off on the middle of the
blade and feel that return that is the hook of our spin that's gonna snap us
into a nice quick back spin position let me feel we're gonna rock up to the
ball of our foot find that sweet spot sso let's try it again
same thing new positions just trying to focus out on our feet we're focusing on
strong nice edges here to keep the speed up not
on that spin we had two strong news starting off the middle of the blade hit
that toe pick finding the hook to snap us into our spin and get into that sweet
spot on the ball we have a nice hook position we are above our
belly button which is above our right foot
just like in doing double and triple jumps you're on the right type of our
body awesome job guys I think we have that one down pat we
are going to try the open position arms open down some we're going to try
to focus on bringing in all the speed here guys the wider we get transitioning
to the tighter we get because of physics are going to
faster so same thing on the entrance focus on keeping that left arm inside
and we're gonna push down and that left arm
let's break down the advanced backspin into a bunch of different steps so then
we can have a nice forward scratch spin I also like to review the
hook into the sweet spot at the wall starting out the wall exercise is a great
way to introduce to skaters to feel like the hook and finding that sweet spot now
trying to put it all together we are going to pull in into our back
scratching spit let's put together the beginner position which is legs
together
knees facing in front
let's try the beginner scratch position with our advanced entry our knees legs
are going to be glued together always facing forward
think about pulling in makes you think about being a pineapple wearing
a crown
remember to pull your arms and legs in at the same time for the beginners I
would like to focus our pulling in to the right and tucking your elbows at the
bottom when you're more advanced you can feel free to pull in and push your arms
up or push your arms down and squeeze to go faster but for now let's focus on
pulling in nice and tight over the right side
or the right side of the body elbows tucked in and facing down in our
beginner position knees facing forward
opposite toe next to opposite foot
although when we find that sweet spot because we'll be spinning and we won't
hear any scratching our spin is going to be pretty silent so the goal is to be as quiet as possible
let's review some common mistakes there first one is not letting our left arm go
crazy pants and swing away so don't lose
our second mistake is drawing in with our toes pointing down remember we're
not gonna flex the foot to get nice and tight
and slowly put it down
I lift up my left leg do not let that leg drag
slow you down here's the mistake let me go to spin I think about just brushing
around over the pool be careful not to drop our arm when the enters be spinning
if we do that we're gonna tip over
we also want to pull our arms and legs in at the same time timing is so
important that our arms and legs are going in at the same time we're going to be
third
that's my spin be sure to keep your shoulders level don't make them bounce we don't want
to spin lopsided I hope no one's too dizzy let's put it
all together we're going to do a scratch spit pull it tight squeeze the elbows
squeeze alike let's see how fast we can
don't spin with your head on take two no flying objects pockets during our
spin around keep squeezing your core so you can keep this speed up throughout the
whole
