Master your figure skating camel spin quickly with this ice skating lesson! More at www.coachmaryfigureskating.com. #figureskating #iceskating #adultskater
Camel Spin Tips:
-Practice at the wall - right hip on left hip, nostrils level, get the back down, bellybutton parallel to ice, point the toe outwards
-Stay down on the knee until you hit the toe pick on the 3 turn during the entrance
-Back spiral exercise
-Pull head slightly back for more speed, but don’t let the leg drop
-Common mistakes - free leg drifts to the side, catching your toe pick while spinning, leg too high/low, dropping your arm/shoulder into the entrance

Agree coach Mary is nice. Our group instructor scoffs and walks off. It really is making me hate skating. I've had this effect with two of my group classes. They aren't helping with that. It's like they can't be seen with someone so incompetent. And I'm afraid to ask for any help or clarification with them like that

Saskia van Dijk Chill! Try back-spin before you even think about camel spin! Camel spin is pretty hard if you arent in a higher level. But congrats on doing a 1 foot spin! 🥳

do you practise spins on both sides? is it better to spin in preferred direction only?

@franslam7398 2 жыл бұрын

I think I'm just a super-beginner because I felt like this taught the entry but the spin just happened with no explanation like which part should carry the weight when spinning of if you lift your heel or toe or whatever.

How do you rotate faster? I can never get enough momentum to do more than 1 or 2 rotations.

@CoachMarySkating 4 жыл бұрын

Pushing harder into the spin, staying centered in a balanced stable position, trying not to move any body parts!

my camel spin has become very lazy over the yrs cus i dont like them that much so imma come back and improve it lolz

@steveherbert9575 Жыл бұрын

Good explanation but, although your left foot is in the locked position, your free leg is bent and needs straightening out? Watch your video, you'll see what I mean.

@leannemartin9137 4 жыл бұрын

What do you mean to stack your hips?

@CoachMarySkating 4 жыл бұрын

in this case, line the left hip over left skating foot :)

@notiva 3 жыл бұрын

do skaters typically learn a sitting spin or a camel spin first?

@natsskates 3 жыл бұрын

I'd say sit spin. That's the first one I learned after the forward upright. I find the camel very difficult even after 4 years of figure skating, whereas the sit spin is totally badass. It's a lot more difficult to generate momentum and keep your balance on a camel spin.

I had such a good camel spin but I lost it.. really pissed because I can't really advance because my spins aren't that great. my jumps are way more advanced for my current level

@natsskates 3 жыл бұрын

Tell me about it. Camel spins suck. I'm also a much better jumper than spinner. Let me guess, do you fall forward over your toepick after one rotation? That's what I do. What's helping me fix this is practicing bent leg camel spins from standstill. You do a camel spin without ever straightening your left skating knee. Then you can try doing a bent leg camel and straightening that knee after about 2 rotation. Then you can move onto a normal camel spin but just keep that knee bent a little bit longer (about 1 rotation) to stabilize yourself and avoid falling over forward.

@@natsskates ohh thank you!! i got much better at my camel spin and i usually get 6-8 rotations but the thing im still super scared about is when i need to do it during comp. i usually need to do around 3 practice camels to warm it up or else i’ll over. im sure your tips will work!!

I had this idea I could balance on one foot like that at the gym but I was mistaken. Basically I fell and hit the top of my head on the mirror. I don't know why I did that.
