I agree with Lloyd that you'll have a much better control of your balance if you do your landing position on the spinner rather than trying to hoop away from the spinner. It's also safer if you're not practicing in an open space. Very helpful video! Thank you!
I love this video! I watched it, bought a backspinner, bought 3 Shamwows, and I'm ready for lessons. Can I come to see you in what appears to be Willy Wonka's bedroom? (KIDDING. seriously good info in this video. Kudos)
Your comments do make me laugh. Those are Cranes on the wall though, not chocolate bars and I'm holding a pink unicorn spinner, not a golden ticket 😂I didn't use a spinner at all while competing/performing myself, I only learned to as it's the cool thing to do nowadays. I had to see what the fuss was all about.
Thank you. I have been having a hard time with my back spins. Every time I can only rotate 2 times and then I fall out of place (go side ways). I will try your exercise and hopefully do a better job on my rotations on the ice. Thank you
I've been trying to master that last bit (the in and out and in) and it's sooo hard because I have the Jerry's square spinner which doesn't allow for travel. Well at least I can hope that my spins will be super centered on the ice when I get back haha
The in an out exercise is such a great exercise to do, if you're on the very unforgiving metal spinner that is locked on one spot, you will find that when you do master it, you will be very very balanced in exactly the right position. Which is a good thing, even if it will be frustrating at how hard it is to do the exercise on the spinner.
i just bought an E-spinner and i find that it pitches me back onto my heel and the bigger rocker is just so hard for me to balance on. I don’t want to return it without practicing adequately but it’s definitely a struggle. any tips? is that a common issue?
Some of the kids I teach get cheeky and say to me "it's easy for you to say do this, that, and the other! I bet you can't even spin on this spinner" So, just to prove a point to them, I practised so I could show them all of the spins I work on with them 😂
I am autistic and turn 40 this year. I never put a pair of skates on my feet until I was 37. I am now working on my moves in the field having completely all 10levels of the UK learn to skate. Does it take me longer to learn yes it does, do I need visual learning yes I do, but if you don't try you never will if you at least try they is a CHANCE you can.
