I am on a mission to help adult skaters with the most important spin in modern day skating ...
the back spin!
I am going to come up with a way for adult skaters to do a back spin more easily, WHY? Because it is super hard and it is the foundation of rotating in the air and in the combination spins and it makes us more even in our muscle development and it can be very beautiful and exciting and, and, and ...
SO, how am I going to do that ... well I am not sure yet but I am working on it!!!
I think if adult skaters have access to working on a jump harness that would be a great start. I love doing back spins with skaters on the harness, it gives them "upward", support while balancing on the rocker of the blade at the same time the skater is leaning into their baby toe, on the outside edge, while doing tiny loop circles on the ice when they close up their body position to increase rotation ... SEE WHAT I MEAN ABOUT THE SPIN BEING REALLY HARD:{
I have just added a BACK SPIN VIDEO to our library but I think it is going to be one of many. I also have a BACK PIVOT VIDEO in the library that is very closely related to doing the back spin, check it out:}
BE STRONG ON YOUR BACK SPIN!
Cheers, Linda
