spinning technique figure skating?

yeah.. i have that problem as well.\nthis sounds funny, but you have to stick out your stomache and hips and really lift your back; then lean back. my coach said that too many people just wanna lean back, especially because of the name! yea that should help a bit...

Ok you have to LEAN darling and make sure your arms are in the right place. If you're going anti-clockwise around a circle put your right hand infront of you at 12 o'clock and your left hand at 6 o'clock. \nPush with your right foot from the ball of your foot while concentrating your weight on the left foot. Then when you come to cross your right over your left, bring that right foot infront to place on the inside (of your circle) push slightly out with your left foot to make room for the right. And place the right down where the left was.\nThen start again. Your posture during the cross overs is gonna make or break it. Practice in a small circle (About 1.6 yards) and consciously lean your body toward the centre of your circle - this will make your blade 'stick'. (p.s. check if your blades are sharp enough too)\n\nYou're gonna look like a little bit of a dork the first few times till you get the hang of it, but once you get it, you're gonna look fab!\nAlso these skating skills are the most important to get right now, because they are the building blocks of all other skating elements.\n\nPractice sweety!

drink water, lots and lots of water, how you stretch-- go over to edge of hockey boxes that dont have glass, put one leg straight on the edge and one on the ice. toes your blades for awhile then bend down one touch your toes of the foot on the ice. repeat with other side. its called gatorade cuz ppl at the u of florida (the gators) developed it. when doing a one-foot spin touch foot to knee. learing to stop hockey-style (on the side) is mandatory for good stoping. back-stratch-spins are sometimes easier to do, so ask your coach

top spin is the exact opp of reverse spin.\nby moving your racquet slightly upwards while hitting the ball, the top spin can be generated. it is an excellent practice especially at competitive levels. if u r a beginner and u can pull off controlled top-spin, i'd say u r ver talentd... keep it up!

I practice doing stickhandleing, wristing shots, slapping and snapping shots, and deking. I practice stickhandleing without looking at the puck to develop how to make more acurate passing and have more puck control. Get a mirror and put it in the end of a hall way stand back and look at the mirror and stickhandle away looking at the mirror. After you master this take the mirror away. Practice your stickhandleing around people in tight areas by putting 2 pucks in the drive way a little bit apart and stick handle in a figure 8 between them. Then put them closer together... For wrist shots practice your aiming without looking at the puck and also stickhandleing up to the goal and deking and then wristing a shot...repeat with snap shots and slap shots... Work out also. I lift weights and do situps. Go to hockey camps that do off ice training. Have fun doing this stuff!

u flip ur wrists...its hard to explain on here but basically its like throwing a cureball in baseball...its all in the wrist and it depends how hard/fast u flick ur wrists and the direction as well that determines how much or wut type of spin you use...its alot like putting spin on a tennis ball...if that helps

Heck no!\nTrust me.\nI've tried and i swear to god it takes YEARS.\nIf you really are determind you can do it in a month.\n:]\nBascily just stretch down and see how far down you can do in the spilts and hold it and make sure you can feel te spilts.\nAnother way it to sit on the floor and spread you legs as far apart as they can do and lean foward.\nALSO if you are a figure skater go to the side boards and put one keg up streching for a sprial and take the skating foot  and go on the back blade farther away to make it stretch. (if you get that).

Figure skating is a sport where the skater learns  different skills like jumping, spinning and doing artistic movements with music, on ice skates. It initially originated in the beginning of the 1800's where all the people that used to skate in lakes, began to do some artistic moves on skates. \nThen in England, skating clubs were formed to learn different skills and specially figures (hence the name) which were (they were abolished in 1994) turns and steps done on a figure 8 pattern. \nThen, when the skaters were advanced, they added dancing and jumping... it is only less than 40 years that the sport became so demanding by doing triple and quadruple jumps (when the skater jumps in the air they make three or even four rotations before landing)  It's a beautiful sport, and I recomend you to see it beyond the "ice show" it is very cool and extreme!!!

There is geometry involved in the patterns of the skates on the ice.  Physics involves math...the amount of friction and motion over the ice.

Oooh, I'd be careful with that.  You should really speak with a doctor, preferably an orthopedist about that.  I'd say "yes" to things like riding a stationary bike or other low impact exercises.  I'd say "with care" to things like weight lifting, running, aerobics, etc.\n\nWhy don't you give spinning a try?  I just took that up recently and love it.

Practice, practice, practice....The trick to ollying is shifting your weight back and forward very quickly while controlling the board with your feet.  \n\n1. Make sure you have some good grip tape on the front of your board and good shoes that will grab it.  This will help keep the board tracking with your front foot.  \n\n2. Place your front foot just forward of the middle of the board and your rear foot at the tip of the tail.  I always tilt my rear heel up so I have just my toes on the tail.  This gives me the maximum "kick".\n\n3. Gain control of your board.  I've found that it is actually a bit easier to have the board slowly rolling forward on a level surface -- not too fast though.  \n\n4. With your feet in the above position, bend your knees slightly with your shoulders bent slightly over your front foot.  Your weight should be over your front foot.  \n\n5. Stomp your rear foot down on the tail and shift your weight backwards.\n\n6. As the board "pops" up use your front foot to keep it from flying out from under you.  This is done by keeping your foot flush with the board.  In actuality the angle of the board will be parallel with the side of your foot.  You can tell when you are doing it right when you get a scuff mark on your shoe right around the outside your little pinky toe.  \n\n7. Land it!  Push the top of your front foot out against the board to rotate it back underneath you.  By starting with your weight slightly forward and keeping your front foot flush with board in flight, your momentum should carry you and your board forward at the same pace allowing you to land smoothly.  \n\nUntil you are ready to get advanced with kick flips and such, you will know you are doing it right when the board never seems to leave your feet, but just becomes a single fluid motion.  You might want to exaggerate these steps as you practice this technique to get an idea of how the mechanics work.\n\nGood luck!

after spinning, you should spin for a couple revolutions in the opposite direction (a two foot spin) to undizzy yourself. it works everytime for me. i guess you should try doing the same thing for jumping, but falling down is okay because that is a part of learning.

dude you just gotta practice.  thats the only way your gonna get better.  if your serious about skating then thats what you should concentrate on.  most of my friends including myself skate but they are almost all way better than me.  thats all they do.  as for the moving ollie just do the same as you do when your not moving.  dont think about it, just do it

when you go for your olie. move your front leg at about a 45 degree angle toward the nose instead of strait toward it. the board should atomaticaly flip.
