I'm no where near ya'll. But today a younger girl was trying backward scissors. I sugested she bend her knees. Then her mother said "Listen to him" like she thought I was much better then I think I am. So, I just might be looking good.. : /
I'm still working on learning 3-turns... Thanks for the video!
I "just did it" and fell today. Aww... I can only 3 turn if I'm going like 1mph, but if I wanna go like, speed skater fast on my figure skates and I try it, generally I fall on my ass. Good video, though. My left side is better, but my right can only do scrapy bad turns. Is real coaching that much of an advantage compared to just playing around in public sessions everyday?
It's not "don't twist" it's don't "overtwist". My coach said just turn your body into facing the centre of the imaginary circle you are tracing and it'll be easier. Hope this helped :)
no disrespect but, i didnt like her she didnt help at all...and whe he was explaining the RIGHT way she didnt even get his feet..im sorry but she was useless....thanks denis.
@camiheartzacnskating me too!!! but i think thats only to get us use to the motion......also try listening to figure skating like music...and just letting your feet glide....lol i end up doing way more turns without thinkn about it than when im concentrating
This is so cute & helpful. I love your "hair commercial" at the beginning, Melissa! :)Turning, in general, has been HARD for me...I thought that backward skating would be harder than turning! I guess I am nervous since turns are the only thing I fell on consistently this yr. Any help is really appreciated!
Hi Melissa and Denis; thanks for the great video - it's very informative. I'm going to send it along to the other members of my skating class. Just a suggestion, can you ask your cameraman to point the camera at your feet more in the future, please. Thanks and keep the videos coming!
Thanks so much for the video! I haven't been getting my 3-turns, but then I got a new coach (I take group lessons) and he taught us about where to put your free leg and that helped a lot. But I still twist when I do it, so I might try and NOT twist next time haha
Its been forever since your last video! I Got New Skates (: Oh And Today I Finally have a full great Biellham! Thanks For Posting Videos To Help Others! I Love Your Blades! Nice Leg Warmers Too! DID DENIS DYE HIS HAIR? :O

"Lascia ch'io pianga" by Hendel.
...judging by the ethereal sound, probably sung by Sarah Brightman.

Why is having a twist in the upper body for a three turn wrong?

Thanks for all the tips, I still can't say my 3-turns are 100% correct, so it'll be useful. Or at least I'll look pretty, heh)
