hey guys this Mary welcome back to my channel today we are going to work on
their flying camel spin my absolute favorite spin hope you guys are ready
for this one let's start off with a few basics about the flying camel
I like to enter this from a forward inside 3 turn so first steps first let me
enter forward inside 3 turn make sure you check we want to be nice and controlled
before we enter the spin
let's warm up the flying camel spin with an exercise on the line when I step into
this spin notice after the 3 turn I'm spinning with my left arm over the
left leg when we take off we're going to try to
get our torso as parallel to the ice as possible our free leg is going to be
extended around us swing around nice and wide goal it's going to be parallel to
the ice as we take off when we take off for our left leg it's gonna be like
taking off for a waltz jump or an axel we're gonna roll up to our top pick when
we land the goal is to stick that position we're going to land kind of on
the bottom of the toe pick slightly bent pop up and try to stay in
that position I think about taking off remembering where I'm looking and head up
landing looking in that same direction
another exercise I like to do is at the wall I start up in the T position and
try to stick to a strong toward outside edge I'm going to lift my foot up wide
parallel thighs and practice just landing kicking my foot back remember
we are going straight up to the toe pick we're not doing a three turn before
jumping when you get comfortable you can even do a mini jump at the wall to get
used to the motion
this can be a little scary so the exercise I like to do is doing a pivot on the ice
to get used to that flying motion and doing a mini jump so instead of going
into it wide legged and flying into it like in the flying camel
getting more comfortable building up comments for the awesome flying camel
let's put it all together and try our flying camel on the big ice a common mistake is
to start the flying camel in a camel spin position and then come up so try to
get into that jump quickly don't just delay the entrance a second common
mistake is not bringing our leg around in an arc and instead that creates a
waltz jump like so one last common mistake is not keep our torso so low to
the ice if we're too upright we'll get a funky looking camel spin
