Shitty video

Very nice video!! Music, shoots, concept 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Whitley bay ice *rink*

By the way, this is Whitley bay ice rink, I skate in it, it has loads of new stuff around.

The toe-pick in the ice pivot is the wrong way to get this started. That's because doing that prevents your blade from skating backwards, which is what it needs to do. A common misconception, and mistake, is thinking you need to spin on the toe like a ballerina, but that's not it, and the toe-pick in the ice pivot encourages that bad thinking and bad spin technique. Instead a pivot without using the toe-pick is possible and advised, and allows the blade to skate backwards as required. It's interesting to watch coach at 1:35 at 0.25x speed. You see him do the toe-pick pivot and between time 1:37 and 1:38 he has removed the toe-pick from the ice and you can see his blade shift from spinning in place to skating backwards. I suspect there's some action needed to make that happen. For info about this alternate pivot technique check out Coach Julia's approach at time mark 6:00 here: czcams.com/video/OEu8z0N-HxY/video.htmlsi=mSP-yhuzijYOyAlw

Good video in spite of the poor sound. It helps to listen with headphones. The tip on exiting the spin is worth the price of admission. I think he's using a "power pull" technique there but he doesn't mention it. That push he's doing is probably a lot harder than he makes it look. It's a short video, that's good, so I shouldn't expect too much detail, but he does goi right from just learning how to circle on the outside edge to, like, a 5 revolution fast and smooth backspin, so there could have been some more intermediate steps there. Also, as in all one foot spin videos I've seen, he glosses over the 3-turn but that's a difficult and crucial part that needs more attention in instruction.

I’m still doing the “beginner” crossovers and every time I lift my leg to cross, I stop gliding backwards T^T

Where is slow motion?

Very good explanation !

I can do the wind up but somehow Im stepping down straight - how do i stop that and step down correctly?

I have chasses in my first program and I needed this video. Thank you

Isn’t the heel supposed to go first or it becomes a waltz jump?

Thankss!

Glad to have found your vids. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks!

I would press 10000 likes if there is a super like button 🔘

Hello new sub!!! Love how u demonstrate not once but a couple of times to explain and show us how u do it . That's very great ! Especially when u zoom in the toe pick . That's very helpful .can't wait to see more and I will go back to watch ur older videos as well I am trying to learn Salchow but I got so confused after that 3 turn lol ... Thanks again for teaching us x

Why does it look like the ice has all these stripes underneath? 🤔

thx for halp

Thanks

Good tutorial this. Just started the loop today and this helps.

The best backward crossover teaching video on CZcams! Thanks.

Nice tutorila, but shouldn't there be a reflection from the right foot? It seems to bounce off my left leg.

Great lesson. The one thing you forgot to say is that the end of the forward edge is a tight 3 turn that moves you into a backward inside edge that's so tight that it appears to be a spin. A spin is actually just a very tight edge with a lot of angular velocity - like the end of a spiral if you kept tightening it. Many novices think that they actually have to spin on the flat. But all forward spins are always on a backward inner edge until you get to very advanced stretched camel spins. Backward spins like flying camels and flying sit spins are on a backward outer edge - but both forward and backward spins are essentially backward edge skating in a tight loop. Finding the spot on the blade with a high amount of rocker just at or behind the ball of the foot is the trick to supporting the high angular edge for spins. Too far forward and you're dragging the toe pick. Too far back and you're on a flat part of the blade that won't allow the high edge angle required to spin.

I'm getting started, what kind of pants do you buy? Are those regular sweatpants?

Your toe loop looks great; but the video cuts and changes view right at the moment the jump is taking off, ruining the full view of the jump mechanics. It would be awesome if you could make a seamless video of the full jump!

Thnx! Will be try next training!

Lovely! Thank you!

Talk less and skate

I have a question.. what ice skating rink are u at??

I am 9 years old and I want to start ice skating so this really helped

Whitley Bay ice rink. Was training with Alan some years ago. Feeling nostalgic.

Great video. I'm 50 and started taking lessons (amidst a bunch of kids and younglings...), and it's helpful to go over these moves. a Feedback on the video, the image is clear and you explain, but the echo on your voice and background music got a bit distracting. However, I found it immensely helpful (even having a teacher) and looking forward to other videos.

Good cool down tutorial thanks. I used it after inline skating

I'm confused as to why some people teach it differently. One coach said to hit the toepick and come around like a loop jump with your free leg in a H position. other people say to get your free leg over your grounded leg?

Most helpful video I've seen on this spin. You are the only coach I've found that mentions the correct angle the spinning foot should be placed onto the ice to initiate the spin. Thanks so much! Now I just need to practice it (the scary part)

Your beautiful thank you ☺️💕

Please can you do a 1 hour video where you don't explain anything just demonstrate all the various techniques one after the other continuously with some kind of label on the video now and again naming the technique or move.

4:21 actual jump

Awesome. Are there any exercises you can do off ice for specific on ice techniques? Eg can you practise 3 turn, or backward crossovers etc. at home without skates? I mean are there exercises to develop muscle memory you can do at home?

I wish the audio was better...

To much talk

ty this tutorial was just HILARIOUS. greetings from italy

Imagine this guy being your actual skating coach, *humbly flexes*

Just the kind of content I need after my local rink closed down again 😭💔

Thank you👍🌸😊

yeahh you're back !!! its been ages !!

OMG you are back!

Add one more exercise to the work out. This requires a chair. Place hands on the edge of the open side of the chair. Bend over. With one leg create an L on the leg and lift up as though you are doing a spiral. Lift the leg up to the horizontal position to the back and the foot part of the leg held in a vertical position. *** Be careful in doing this exercise. It stretches verses strengthens the muscles. So move slowly when lifting the free leg up. Do five leg raises for each leg and you are done. Exultant video!

Ohhh nice show stop at the end 😎
