I was waiting for this video. Thank you so much! You gave a lot of helpful tips and I will keep working on twizzles. Right now it is super difficult but I found comfort in this video ❤
Great breakdown on how to do a twizzle! Question : do you always slightly "pick up" the heel when turning, as you showed in the "slo mo" portion of this? I think my twizzles look like continuous 3 turns. I've been able to do them on the right side for so long and never heard this about the "heel/toe" transfer from any of my pros. And why is it so much harder for everyone on the left side? Is that normal? I see this with the high level national/international competitors also? Any comment here? (And you also only show it on the right side too) Thanks, so helpful!
Thanks so much for your comment! We definitely exaggerated that heel and toe pick up in the slow motion part of the video (sorry). That feeling of toe and heel pressure is ever so subtle, but definitely still there given the blade itself has a rocker. You may feel it very naturally without even thinking about it. Hopefully that makes sense! As for twizzling right side better than left side. It is just a case of having a personal preference. Many skaters rotate counter clockwise in the air and will find twizzling that direction easier. So no matter how much practice anyone does, one side is always going to be the dominant side. Thanks again for your comment!
@@nextedgetutorials Thank you, I will. I can do one spin easily and I do practice 3 turns all the time so it shouldn't be that hard, you do them fast BTW!. So there is not such a big adjustment from low speed to higher speeds? By speed I mean going forwards at a medium-fast speed while doing the twizzles. I'm assuming one thing is to travel slow and another is to do them when traveling fast.
Ok at first, a twizzle is NOT a 3 turn (and should not be). A correct twizzle is done without edges (only the first entrance edge count to be evaluated by judges).
