My current request list:

1) Double Salchow
2) Putting on skating tights
3) The Splits
4) Backbend on tippy toes
5) Arm movements
6) Back Camel
7) Rotation in Jumps

Any other requests? Please message me, or comment on any of my videos or my profile.

The camel spin is an advanced ice skating move that involves spinning on one leg with the other leg and the body parallel to the ice. This video takes you through a camel spin step-by-step with tips from me.

A little like Expert Village (expertvillage) but with more detail.

Enjoy, and good luck skating!

  • Hi there, genius. I didn't 'just' say to send any requests. Yes, I said that you could send requests in the video but if you put your limited brain cells into action and read WHEN I posted this video, you would find that it was in Dec 2008. So I did not JUST say it, I said it over a year ago.

    And just for the record, you have no right to call anyone dumb when you can't actually SPELL 'dumb', not to mention 'just', or 'you'. Do me a favor and educate yourself before making any more comments.

  • You are so sweet and clear, I can understand even if english is not my native language. Your tips are precious and I learned lot of my skating skills from you. So, thank you!

    I really can't understand how people can leave bad comments or so, as everybody should skate at great level, as everybody started when 4 years old. I'm an italian ex roller skater trying on ice for the first year in her life (I'm 31) and you are the best youtube teacher ever. I do love you!!!

  • @Gina10179202 how long have you been skating for??

  • Do you have any tips on doing a layback spin?

  • I really wish more people spin the opposite way, as I do. My coaches never liked teaching me things because they had to reverse everything.

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    "Do you want to do that?"

  • This is a little unrelated :/ Do you have any tips for going on my toe pick too much during the camel spin & sit spin? I tip forward too much during the camel spin, and i find it really hard to hold the spiral. And for the sit spin, I can never be on my rocker. THANKS!!

  • You're so good Gina. I wish u were my coach.
