Scratch Spin attempt

Finally i can do at least the spin! It was a bit confusing how I actually should do the proper landing. And moreover how should i do to keep my spin center? Any suggestion?

Thanks for any advice!

@skatinganalysis i skated for 2 or 3 years already and now just grasp how to spin. Its quite difficult for me. Its better to do jumps than the spins.... :( i should correct my body during the spins itself and its for me so dificult. i rather do loop combinations than spins haahhaha :D how old are you then?

How long have you been skating? Did you skate with professional instruction? You're really good! I started figure skating just a few months ago as an adult and I saw your jumps...they're impressive!

(Sorry can't give you advice on spins -- I'm not on that level yet!)

@babybabybabyooo Aaaahhhh.... I see!!! I will give a try on next tuesday i'm skating again. But anyway... anymore suggestion in case i keep travelling while having my free leg and arms out? Mostly i lose my balance and just keep travelling.... :S

youre traveling in your spin. you need to take longer time before you pull in to center it. keep your free leg out more in front of you with your arms out. once you feel balanced, bring your free leg up a little, bring everything in and push ur leg down. you should be in a tight position with you legs crossed and keep your elbows in. itll keep you from traveling and make you spin really fast. hope this helps!
