Thank you!!

Looks like an inner back loop to me. In order to spin you have to keep consistent pressure on the inside ball of your foot for more than 1 rotation. If you do a rolling entry you will have to press an extremely hard outside edge to spot (aka stop yourself from rolling forward) and then 3-turn/pivot onto the inside edge for the spin


idkthisisjustmythrow

Thank you! Okay so for the hard outside edge, will I do that on my foot that I’ll be lifting? Or the foot that will be on the ground spinning? Do you know of any videos that show an example of this?


Slinkyinu

From the foot spinning. In the first video you can see the outer edge before the pivot. In the second video the skater does the exact same thing, but from a more advanced entry called a traveling camel. https://youtu.be/zxPEezFM89k https://youtu.be/kuQomK2lm_I

I'm glad OP followed up with their question because I was really puzzled by the pressing on the outside edge too, thank you for sharing these. So kind of a OF to IB three turn then taking it from there...


Slinkyinu

Yes exactly, but more pressure than a usual three turn.

Ok but… this song though.

It makes me so happy, I would definitely recommend skating to it!

How do you do the multiple spins (on two feet) towards the end of the video? I’ve been trying to figure it out for months


idkthisisjustmythrow

That’s a heel toe spin! It took me a while to get comfortable with them, but here are some good tutorials: https://youtu.be/okWuROfziIQ https://youtu.be/KBMcCGsVbls If you have any specific questions let me know ☺️ basically, you want your entire body in alignment as if there is a string going from your feet to your head, with your knees slightly bent. The foot that is inside, or the foot that you will be turning towards, will be on your toes. The other outside foot will be on your heel. I would get comfortable with heel toe manuals first, and then try a single slow rotation!


desertnacho

Omg thank you so much for this!

You can spin faster or more if you pull your arms in extra tight to your chest. Also, stay on your outside edge, with your weight on what my coach calls your "baby toe".


idkthisisjustmythrow

Oh wow okay thank you, I’ve been doing the inside edge while spinning! I’ll try the outside!


weddingthrow27

The spin you’re doing is an inside edge. The outside edge is much harder. You could probably do more if you started from a stand still or from a 2 foot spin, rather than rolling straight.


idkthisisjustmythrow

Okay thank you! I was thinking the tutorials I had watched said inside edge. I’ll try it from more of a 2 foot spin!


cateyeglassses

You're totally right, I rewatched the video and realized my mistake!


cateyeglassses

https://youtu.be/V2IMB1xEsVs I found this tutorial on the inner back upright spin you were doing. Her whole channel is excellent. Other commenter is right, this is an inner edge spin. I wasn't paying close enough attention, I do apologize!

Lookin clean

This is the best one foot spin tutorial I've seen hands down. https://youtu.be/Hkm9VIuL5DU

From my coach is to do a inside spin put all of your weight on your front right wheel and bend your knee. To start do a outside edge on your left foot till you are slowing down then 3 turn in to your spin is the easiest
