Add to “My Favorites” (Beta testing)Thanks for posting this. I look forward to trying out the concepts the next time I am on the ice. And I look forward to your clinic at NVO this coming week.
Amazing tips and exercises! Thank you 😀
Thanks Bobbe for this video and I really like your comment on the skater who spins to the right…it is definitely the other way not lefty…actually it is the right way, everyone else spins the other way, I spin to the right…lol. Great comments and technique, will have to remember those exact instructions.
Thanks for adding the part about how the second spin ends up on top of the first. I know that’s what the judges want to see and I know that I can do it myself and demonstrate it, but I’ve never been able to describe it the way you do. LOVE the backspin exercise-shows that a concept they will use on every change foot can be introduced as early as when they are able to back spin.
This was GREAT! Thank you I took another page of notes for my coaching notebook. 🙂 Love the exercise and cannot wait to test it out on a couple of my skaters. I have taught the change of foot spins by bringing the leg in (as mentioned toward the end of the video). It has worked, but this information has given something to ponder.
Fantastic explanation! Thank you 🙂
Hi Bobbe, what does it mean “recreate the hook”, I mean “the hook” I cannot understand. I am not a native speaker and I cannot find out the meaning. Thank you in advance if you can help to explain.
DellaLee, the hook is the very end of the spin entrance edge, where the edge deepens dramatically just moments before the three-turn that starts the actual spin.
