Nancy Kerrigan gives "Scratch Spin" Tips

[inkypink1]

Thank you, but when I start my scratch spin, I have to start on my toe pick...How do I push off and turn, without loosing my balance soon?

[kathcat1]

well the scratch she made was ..awsome ..

[kathcat1]

que tips tan bobos ...... yo queria oir algo mas ...

[watevrusaylovey]

OOpps I mean 'centered ?

[watevrusaylovey]

YES about that centering !!! how do you stay cenetered ????

[Mr634063]

it is asaom

[trueblueJ33]

@coffeejunkie59 it says TIPS for scratch spin not how to do one

[peachyfizz]

This is the best one I've ever seen :O

AMAZING!

I wish she was my coach :|

[figureskate1000]

oOOo! Okay! Thanks!

[RockStar246813579]

Do u get dizzy when u spin? Hope Not. Well thx for the tips!

[laneylikewhoa]

@RockStar246813579 Yes, you do get dizzy when you're first starting. Once you do them routinely for a while, you don't get dizzy anymore.

[chickenlime]

centrifugal force doesn't exist

[figureskate1000]

Ah...this helps a lot, but the main thing I'm having trouble with is my free leg on entry.

[dayanatotallyrox]

@figureskate1000 when u bring the free leg in just hold it up the way u do for any spin then cross it over the skating leg super tightly.

[TheRockinfish]

thanks!!! my scratch spin isn't the best...gotta keep working on it haha

[prosperabovehaters]

omg i rememer her when i was in elementary. I'm not an ice skater, but she's an inspiration.

[MrPickleproductions]

This is a really good video!!

[pfat0]

Really? Like how she went over how to do the footwork? Oh wait...

[PecanSandees23]

My, this was a disappointing "lesson". Thanks?

[coffeejunkie59]

this doesnt even explain on how to do a scratch spin

[drzeitnot]

This really isn't much help at all. It's not even a good physics lesson about centripetal force and angular momentum. a MUCH BETTER BEGINNER'S GUIDE is watch?v=BJUe4AQzNcA

[flwrgrl13]

Thank you so much!

this helped me a lot, my scratch spin is not so good. =^p

[rascalflattsbigfan]

@flwrgrl13 me two!

[Axeljump]

@flwrgrl13 god of you needed a one 1 minute clip to help you princess, I pray that you are now playing a sport where being a douche counts for something :) Peace

[vanessa02468yeah]

thnk u! that helped me tons! :)

[HattieLovesCattie]

Nancy must have filmed this between the last two babies.

[lbmofo]

I have a problem with staying on my rocker but now I'm in fs6 so my coach is having me work on other stuff like camel spins and sit variations but I can't stay on the ball of my foot. anyone have suggestions?

[enochxu]

i had the same problem before. what really helped is to bend your knees while going into the spin and make a deep curve on three turn . cuz u need to change all the clockwise velocity into counterclockwise velocity [if u r using backwards crossover entry].

[xoxoangelxoxo424]

guys yes, im past this, i just have a habit that i NEED TO FIX!! my front leg, people tell me in a little slocuhy? like my back is arched and my butt is out, and stuff and one of my hips are lifted to high... in the starting, are the hips even, or is it a little bit uneven? is the leg in front of is it a little to the side? thats alot, i just need to figure it out cause im rocking to much in the layback spin. please help me anybody please pleeasse!!!! THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!

[figuresk8em101]

I cant get my foot to cross over so that its just under my knee! i almost have it, though.

[mariellasabrina]

omg!! so good

[6our6vampire6hearts]

wow...I learned the same thing I did in science 2 years ago.

eh...a bit helpful I guess.

[gaa927]

not for beginners obviously...Nancy never mentioned anything about entry to spin, bringing the leg up parallel to the ice, etc. so it's useless for beginners.

[drzeitnot]

Bring your arms in to go faster is hardly a skating 'tip'. More like grade school science. POintless video.

[LuvnJCandJB]

thank you so much!! this is great advice :) I will practice this

[keiiXD]

THANK YOU

[Kaim82]

wow total pro

[figureskatingqueen]

i just got myn really fast. i moved up 2 fs5 2day yayy!

[iCeLuVvAx3]

how do you stop traveling??

[myicemyworld1023]

get off your toe. stay on the first half of your blade between the toepick and middle. also keep more on the inside edge.

good luck and make sure you are centered!

[nightfairy12]

haha..3 words..

oh..thank you..!!! :D

[Sk8addict28]

thanx sooooooooooooooooooo much!

[waddleduckie1]

Nancy Kerrigan is a great expert in her knowledge of her figure skating experience including some of her greatest spins ever performed on ice.

[gabgab2002]

can i ask something i want to learn the scratch spin but i cant do it..... when i wind up my self and step on my left foot i just do a three turn how can i fix my scratch spin????? plz help me..........

[GlitteringGirl65]

Hi Gabgab,

I'm certainly no expert, but it sounds as though your free leg isn't coming around quickly enough. It may help to think of your free leg coming around in alignment with your shoulders, which must be square to the tracing. Also, try to think of the skating foot as the most important thing. The free leg only assists. It's a deceptively difficult move that takes many years to perfect, so don't give up, and keep enjoying skating!

[emule007]

fumie suguri has the best scracth spin, incredible! whacht it in the moonlight sonata performance

[icesk8erluver21]

nancy kerrigan is an ice skating spiral creator and a fast spinner!

[TheIceSkater101]

[candiFLA]

amazing. the speed!

[Saihei]

I wish my scratch spins were like that.

[americangirlmia]

[Saihei]

Not for me. You should see my spins IRL. They end up looking pretty poor.

[RYsPigeons]

WOW.

[jimmyisherenow]

Wow now that was a fast scratch spin.

[skating49]
