Advanced Figure Skating Moves : Advanced Spins in Ice Skating

[cheeryblossom01]

Thanks

[2004F650dakar]

Thanks Dmitri, I have watched your video series and it is obvious that your are very good skater and instructor. The students that you teach at Pines Ice Arena in Florida are very lucky to have you as a coach. Keep up the great work.

[thisismeJessie1]

you make it look so easy!

[PMDBFFs]

lmfa its funny how he says WWW

[WhiteFoxEyes]

this is not advance....

[MrPoppy32]

after spinnig like that, I would fall down like a drunk person

[watevrusaylovey]

I was searching for advice on how to better center my 1 foot and you are traveling too. Please try again only centered and how to get there !

[TucKzeY]

LOL Advanced its only a cross toe hahaha

[VicGon07]

Why I can't do this? ='/

[DPERRASOFFROAD]

hi



[pianomusician4life]

omg i remember learning this. I took me forever to learn but i prob can't do this now...its been like 5 yrs ><

[MichalisRbw]

not like i am doing it better, or that he doesnt teach well, he is actually teaching it perfectly, but he was travelling allot while spinning.

[beccahollylovers]

yh i know what i am talking about my coach one the europeans !!!!!!!!!!!!! and NISA1 stands 4 national ice skating assosiation!!!

[beccahollylovers]

yh i know what i am talking about my coach one the europeans !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[beccahollylovers]

i am on NISA1 at ice skating also when yo finish your backwards crossovers your entry is a foulward outside curve you then swing your leg round next to your leg that is on the ground (left leg) and pull in as tight as you can on the landing position when you come out of the spin you just simply move your leg back and you can do a spin !!!!

[nzfigureskater]

@beccahollylovers Nah, cos when you enter the spin (I'm spin clockwise), i cross left foot over right and hold the inside edge on my left foot and then push into the semi circle tracing i have made using my inside edge on my left foot. try it off ice and it makes more sense. and I have no idea what NISA1 is... we dont have that in New Zealand...

[beccahollylovers]

[thevictorsecret]

Aw,

I wanna skate out there! ='/

Why here in Brazil we don't have places to do that?

One day I'll be good on this! I hope!

;D

[figureskaternina]

I love figure skating ( as u van see from my name) and I have been doing it since I was two now I am 11

[stranglerninja]

Great spin! It kind of reminded me of Kung Lao's move from Mortal Kombat

[HollywoodGiiirl]

I have a problem with traveling too much while spinning, and i just cant seem to find that focus. Anyone got any tips?? :)

[nzfigureskater]

@HollywoodGiiirl When you hold the inside edge from the backwards cross over, see how it draws a circle onto the ice? Well step into that circle when you spin and it helps to control the travel and centre your spin better. Also, (I havent seen your spin...) try to slow down the transition between the positions in your spin. Hold out both arms and your free leg until you get your balance and then slowly and at the same time bring your arms in and cross your leg over at the knee

[HollywoodGiiirl]

@nzfigureskater thx, i'll try it tomorrow :)

[beccahollylovers]

@nzfigureskater it is a outside curve from the back wards crossovers i a sure!

[stoneycartoon]

wow! that was a fast spin

[littlebruzo0]

mad skills very mad skills it'll take me q while to learn

[solven92]

LOL! nice speed ;d

[chailygirl]

your so bad at it :P

[EvelynVanderhoof]

this guy is so bad! he travels so much!

[XebraXebra]

tiny little girl runs into the wall near the door at 00:26... :P

[JUNGLEJIMY123]

Dimitri is a great coach and a really good guy. He demonstrates the moves to you slowly so you can better understand them. He has alot of knowledge and patience too...

[Thepurplefairie]

Dayum i hate how people try to brag off their SOO COOL ice skating moves. makes me pissed.

l

l

v like this person.wat a fag *No hatess BUT GOOD JOB

[firebird264]

im sorry but, thats not really an "advanced spins"

[Thepurplefairie]

@firebird264 SDBSKHDSAKJD stop bragging, godd we are all beginers on this video.

[Big88Slick]

@Thepurplefairie

It says ADVANCED SPINS right at the top of the video, in case you missed it.

[Superdooperfreaky1]

@firebird264 haha you must be GREAT! Jk. STFU who gives a crap?

[iceangel587]

That's the beginning of advance spins, - every other advance spin you attempt has its foundations on scratch spin he demonstrates

I wish he would have mention the edges you're supposed to be on, in always have trouble remembering and keeping the edge while I spin.

[COOLGIRLSFROMSISAK]

1:30 :O

OMG

WOW

THIS GUY IS AWESOME....I WISH I COULD DO IT

[blueydleprechaun]

He does a really good job explaining the basics! Keep it up!

[pandatours]

These captions are really annoying, I can't see his feet half the time which is why I watch these videos

[MissTutieFruitie]

he's good but cant he show it step by step

[anyaundomiel319]

What's with the bad comments... he's a good teacher and a pretty good skater from what he's been showing. He was gracious enough to share his knowledge and talent... that says a lot for character as well.

For the "alpha" level skater who brags of doing a sit spin... from the official list of lessons you know that "advanced" means FS level... beyond the basic level. A one-foot spin is included in Freestyle 2. Get your head straightened out, may have been warbled from all the sit spins.

[blahblahlikespie]

Yeah "advanced" I'm in alpha but I can do a sit-spin

[sdrop820]

I thought it was good, but i wish someone would make a list of all the ice skating moves for a video!!!

[12enma12]

can someone tell me on where to start ?

[TheSkyecyrus]

@12enma12

-

inside edge

outide edge

backwards crossovers

step out

two foot spin....

the put them all together in order and when your ready, lift ya leg up(:

[12enma12]

@TheSkyecyrus - Thanks~~! x3!!

U must be good at skating =3

[peachyfizz]

Whoa, chill-out with the hate comments. This isn't "advanced" as in, "Yay, now I'm going to go compete for the Olympics!" kind of advanced. It's for begginers and basic (maybe higher) levels. It's an evanced version of the regular spin.

[jkpraises]

dude... cooool....

[Omniya1]

thank you so much you really helped me a lot sir :D

[Strawberries137]

It's called a checkout and that is not advanced SO EASY!

[princesslipstik]

That was advanced? Seriously? I though Camels spins, and flying spins would be advanced, not a Cross-toe! Also, he travelled a bit in that last spin...

[exsashank2]

OMFG, HE'S MY PERSONAL SKATING COACH!!!!!!!!!

I GOTO PINES ICE AREANA AND TRAIN WITH HIM 2X A WEEK

it's funny to stuble upon this video randomely!

[MsAnaconda123]

thank u u helpt me laot

[dkbday]

russian?



[julianaqtpi]

If this is advanced, then what's basic? Being able to stand up?

[fiaso93]

@julianaqtpi actually

[fattyfatass123]

You should change the tittle to BASIC SKATING MOVES.  There's nothing 'advanced' here!!!!!

[Aspoor101]

haha, he talks funny <3

[LucyPantsno1]

that was advanced? :S

[piriti123]

I dont understand how to enchained the backward crossover with the spin ='(

[Hermionexoxxox]

@piriti123

You have to do a mohawk to go into it

[Sims2SamTam]

this is one of the easy spins ever! know to me a flying camal spin is advance

[Hermionexoxxox]

@Sims2SamTam I know right

[Starsurfer1988]

Ugh, I wish I could do that, but I'm too afraid :(

[Hermionexoxxox]

@Starsurfer1988

Do the easier version

(If you spin to the left)

Glide on your left leg in a tight circle with your right leg extended behind. Then bring your right leg forward and you should find your self spinning.

Vice versa if you spin to the right.

I should really make a video for this so I can stop rewriting this to people on youtube.

I promise I will once I figure youtube out.

Hope this helps.

XD

[kattlovesyouu]

this is NOT an advanced skating move. its like the second or third spin you learn

[amly14]

i can do that hall thing even spin exsept crosing my foot and i spin on the toop of my blade some times

[shmoofoobean44]

"Now you'RE probably just saw" lol

[LiCLOW7]

You're amazing. Thank you so much for teaching through Youtube.

I'm a beginner skater and I'm learning a lot from your techniques.

I'm going to skate today and try to do the spin.

You're an amazing teacher.

[justboaaard666]

he's cute

[PEACEnLOVE1317]

i can soooo do that and i have not skated in about a year.

[amongsttrees]

Kinda travels a bit, doesn't he? hehe

Not a bad video, though. Honestly, imo, you learn better by just getting out there and going at it.

[rockinchicgirl]

i am a proffesional skater n tht is soo easy,,its not advanced,,

[Elisha414]

@rockinchicgirl Blahblahblah.. Dude, not all people can skate like this! He's really good, and I have learnd some new things by watching this! Go brag some other place...

[TheChoppy12]

@rockinchicgirl nobody watched this video to hear your bragging

[BlondieLockes]

i can do that that is easy peasy and im just a beginner

[xYouBet]

im training on this now sadly i used to rock at spinning but havnt trained on it for a while so i suck but u dont need the crossover but its much funner

[maggiemay85]

Holyyyy TRAVEL!! A scratch spin is NOT this difficult; the backwards crossovers and such are not needed. Do not use this video as a tutorial. WOW

[hortonhearsthings]

omg that guy make that spin seem sooo much harder than it really is!

[MGrammatico]

that has snap my ankle written all over it :)

[studmuffins16]

more like queers of glory

[KillerLadybird]

Amazing! You're fantastic!!! :D I wish I could skate, but I'm sooo afraid of falling.

[amly14]

i tryid it i didnt brake my foot but i did hart my self XD

[amly14]

holyy i bet ill break my foot bifore bing abel to do this spin parfect

[SparkieShuffler]

that was quick man, blades of glorey here you come!

[TheOneOfYou]

Totally Awesome!!!

[PrueStar]

I almost got this done ha self taught but mine still looks funny ha still skating is fun :)

[kissyham]

if im right handed, sould i spin on my right foot or left foot?

[BrittandAlvin]

try both a few times and see which one seems smoother or easier for you :3

[lakustas]

Dude, you are right HANDED not right LEGGED :D

[joshaiscool]

Kick a soccer ball..Which ever leg you used is your normal leg.

[julietran92]

For the spin he's showing in this video, you should spin on your left.

I'm right handed too, but I was a lefty when I skated... so do whatever feels the best, I suppose.

[gingerskaterxx]

right foot

[kattlovesyouu]

if you are a righty you should spin on your left outside edge.

[skatelovelive]

i keep spining and spining i dont even know how many rotations i do :)

[LarryAnySkate]

cool!! I tried to find the good video! This is the best i guess.... he show it in the slow motion!

[goldmine313]

1:25-1:35, that spin is my favorite spin ever!!!! I love to watch the figure skaters do it when they preform!!! Bavo!!!

[cutenadiaxoxo]

yep i really need to learn that 3 turn thingy

[icesk8r1229]

that 1st spin was really short. my friend counted 17 rotations when i did my scratch spin

[felin12]

thats good, how long have you been doing it? ive been doing it for 14 years and i have 36 rotations, but i practice alot lol(:

[radianX1]

In all sports theres some proper expert instructon on the internet from the pros but this is an insult and grand embaressment to any one that has participated in figure skating seriously. It's a Fworld when jerk offs are screwing up the sport and probably making money from this web site.

[Lucithen]

this guy travels so much he needs a passport. Lol, but the way he teaches the basic principle is correct :-)

[blkjock81]

@Lucithen brutal :)

[2thinkitive]

@Lucithen

whenever i watch him spin, he usually doesnt travel... he's a really good teacher...

[Free411]

dude tht second spin owned!

[pullomo]

nice spin, just try to stAY LOCATED in one place while spinning. It seems as if you kept moving more to the right throughout the spin.

[dilahk927]

he is teaching the right way. i am doing this and it is correct. thanks by the way. it is very helpful.

[angiethebassplayer]

i almost had it!

[lovebug2232]

make sure that your right hip is up and back...thats what my coach keeps telling me...otherwise your hip and leg kind of drops, making it harder to maintain balance

[gellysk8er]

THAT WA A BIGGG TRAVEL..and yet i learned from him.. :P

[road2gold]

he never explained how to get into the spin, people who try to do what he says will kill themselves.

[stargatemagic38]

I think this is more to help people who know the basic principle - I only knew how to do a one foot spin from a pivot, and from watching the edge he goes into the spin on (from crossovers) I figured out how to do a one foot spin from a crossover.

[road2gold]

but he never talked about the spialing edge going into the spin.

[stargatemagic38]

That I already knew about. But I could only do it from a t with the toepick in the ice. This helped me bring them together.

[MirunikSweetie]

lol,and here this guy thinks we'll be able to do it if we see this.I mean,it was ,like pretty good of an explaination,but I think nothing beats practice =]

[aberquinnhco]

U NEED TP CENTER THAT!

[bethiceangel1996]

sameee i can do it but i travel like nutts same with my flying sit

[Zemfira25]

uh...that wasn't centered AT ALL!!!

[tictacsound]

I don't know what I do wrong in this spin, when I'm spinning, I can't bring my leg in to cross it, then I lose my ballance and have to stop.

[charlinetje]

it takes alot of practice,but one day u will get it!but i can't spin like that guy yet haha!

[TheKatieSmile]

hm ok. i tried it so many times ^^

it's not as easy as it looks, that's sure ^^

i have a problem with starting the spin.

backward crossovers aren't a problem, but changing the direction to spin, is very hard ^^

[TheKatieSmile]

i think, it's very helpful.

i've never done an advanced spin, 'cause nobody told me, how to do it right...

i'll try it tomorrow and write here about my experiences

[devilsfarie666]

I get dizzy after I do fast spins! But havent ice skated n 2yrs cuz the toepick went into my leg wen I fell... I love ice skating! I learned the spin wen I was in level 4 and they dont teach those spins til the 8th level. Its easyier than it looks! =)

[LiverpooLisforLife]

my gosh don't they get dizzy after tat?

[RiniTsukino1]

yeah u do or at least i do, sometimes wen im doing my routine i dunno even know where im going, i just follow along the boards...lol

[musicmasterlyrics]

thanks so much expertvillage i done this at my competition and won thanks!

[winterwalk63]

I think he's russian. Ur traveling too much, by the way

[AnonymousMix]

D ACCENT SUCKS

[pointeskatecybunny]

what is 'travelling'?

[juicycouture2304]

it's basically when you move across the ice too much when you spin as opposed to staying in one spot.

[pointeskatecybunny]

thx!

[LauraLuvzyz202]

wtf.... 1. this is not advanced at all 2. he travels so much

[sammywright07]

since when was this advanced? go do a flying camel with a couple of illusions or a line spin. I learne all this right when I started skating. I suppose it looks good when it's done well, but it hardly counts as advanced is it?

[iceskatercharlotte]

dude u travel too much

[Renee11123]

I wonder how figure skaters don't get dizzy without using spotting method.

[love3dove]

Ughh, my knee always turns out when I do the spin...so I don't get enough speed...it makes me mad...

[FightingFriendspro]

well i learn this almost at beginn of my training and i Figure skat, since about beginn of the year 2005 ! and not even near advanced !!

[antblack1903]

that spin is no where near advanced - go learn a layback spin or flying camel

[GoGreenLover111]

wow. his voice soundds weird. but i think ill try.

[Audball2108]

Woah. He was traveling, like, a mile!

[BESORVIA]

wooooooooooooooooooooow

I'm shocked

I scream when I see him spining

[firemist23]

i love scratch spins!!! but that guy traveled too much, me thinks... a way to NOT travel is to get your balance in the beginning, THEN pull in with your arms and legs. just spin at first with one leg and your arms extended outward

[cheer974ever]

he made me dizzy......

[isk8co]

Considering how little time he has to explain anything, I think he's rather good.

[ThatsHot85]

wow this guy needs a passport for the amount of travelling he does.

[iceskater2007]

LOL!

[lovetoskate4]

wow, travel much?!

[Embabe2k8]

he cart even do it right :|

[DawnnRose]

he travels on his spins blaahh

[stargatemagic38]

Could someone explain what traveling on spins is? I'm kind of advanced in ice skating but I have never heard that term used before.

[stargatemagic38]

Never mind. I just call it something else.
