Thank you! As someone who is mainly self taught I have all these elements but I don't have any of the vocabulary to explain what I can do so these are super helpful.

So glad I could help give you the vocabulary.

Back from my weekly lesson. No, I didn’t try this catch spiral. It’s my second week of flip jumps, and I have 2 questions that hopefully you will address in a future video. 1) My LFO 3 turn is too curvy for a flip jump entrance. What can I do to straighten it? You mentioned in some of your videos that this is a topic on its own. Really wanna get some tips on this. Mohawk entrance for now, but my other coach doesn’t like it. 2) Since starting flips, my right ankle has been sore like crazy. I guess it’s because of the toe tap, take off, and landing all happening on the right toe pick, but it can’t hurt this much…or can it?

I do the same hand spiral and kept thinking it's preparation for Biellmann spin xD happy to know it's an element on its own

Funny name 😄 It's called "Foot in hand" in French, this is one of my favorite maneuvers and I find it much easier than a regular arabesque/forward spiral.

When is a skater ready to try a catch spiral? Back before COVID when I saw a coach every now and again, we were working on curved spirals, but she was very surprised by my flexibility. When I've practiced at the rink, competitive skaters have stopped to compliment my spiral. But I'm never sure when to try a catch spiral. Having bellyflopped on the a few times learning a spiral, l know it can be a bit dangerous to futz around without a coach, but I do want to give it a try.

Trying to figure out what you (or was it Dev?) were saying at 8:26 Anyways, I hope my body still has it to be able to do this. It looks really wonderful. And yeah, I think I’ve seen some of the younger kids at the rink do this with the hand facing downwards…
