i needed this so badd thank you

I was stuggling with hook thing and now I understand what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks for helping me improve my cross rolls

Please make a tutorial

Thanks for this video. I’m a roller skater and it’s perfect for posture drills and leg strengthening.

Thank you so much for your explanation!! so much helpful!!

Not everyone can explain body movements like that. Thank you!

This is such an interesting way to start a two-foot spin, at the beginning. One of my students is struggling with a forward-edge entrance into the spin, so I think just that first exercise will help!

Tension between the shoulders and hips- I’ve never heard that before. Are you referring to a twisting action on the setup?

Thank you Coach. This was very helpful.

That transgressing on the ice

One word: INSANE.

This is really usefull thanks!

I always come back to this video because it’s lovely. It explains so many common problems. I habitually rush my spin (I’m too excited lol) and I always end up spinning on my toepick because it’s rushed.

Knee bend = ankle bend. I read about it in a book by a figure skater coach. And now I always think 'bend your ankles' and it works better for me. My knees and ankles are bent indeed.

⛸️ siii 😢 pero es complicado 😐 Gracias

the GHOST of Paul is back helping to progress on

Hanks for share with us

Great explanation. Thanks

thank you . i figured out how to do them. very useful explanation❤

Good technique and great explanations. I love it!

Do you ever do back crossovers to a corner and do a lutz? That's my favourite choice, rather than cross in front before the take off. I'm old fashioned, but understand that we all have our preferred take offs 😊

Super camel spin, sit spin, well done 😊

I'm old school. I learnt to do crossovers around the rink towards a corner, hold the edge and reach back and take off for the lutz. I don't understand this going down the middle of the rink changing edge a couple of times, then reaching back to do the lutz. Easy to do it wrong that way.

Excellent exercises as usual! Thank you! I'll work on these tomorrow!

Best of rocker turn

so helpful! thank you for showing the lefty versions too!

Thank you for these helpful tips, as always! In a future video, could you perhaps explain a bit regarding the different options for sharpening & which ROH would be ideal for general levels of skating? I currently have a 1/2 inch hollow, & am working on silver skills in the US adult test track; wondering when or if I need to change my sharpening. Thanks ⛸️

Gosh Paul, unbelievably fantastic detailed video, that's beyond dispute. No one can take anything away from the excellent quality of this video, anyone is forced to admit that. I mean OK I'll just accept all your content and exercises at face value...hahaha...just give me some time to work through all that, like, a looot of time. I do think the ice skating world of pedagogy could stand to offer a little more theory though. Here are some questions off the top of my head: Why does figure skating need a Lutz jump when it has all the other jumps already? Why wasn't the Lutz jump invented long before it was? Why couldn't Axel Paulsen invent this jump or do it? How is a Lutz any better than a flutz? A flutz seems easier to do, why not just do that? Does a Lutz give more height or rotation than does an easier jump? If not, why do it the hard way? Some guesswork answers off the top of my head: A Lutz exists precisely because it's difficult. A skater can impress people by doing something difficult, even if there's no real reason the stunt is needed. It looks good. But since all the jumps look almost the same, that seems not a good reason. The outside edge of the Lutz is essential to allow the Lutz to be used after certain other maneuvers and the outside edge gives it a flow that a flutz would not. Axel Paulsen couldn't/didn't invent this jump because the skate blades that were in use in his time didn't make a jump like this possible. Decades later, changes in blade technology made this jump possible. Axel Paulsen could have invented and used this jump, but didn't because at the time jumping from a backwards direction was deemed unsafe or unattractive or otherwise was not permitted. It's just me, but I need reasons to go to all the trouble to master a difficult skill like this.

Very, very fine tutorial. So bad my rink is closed but work continues in August or September :)

This was so helpful! Time to get practicing. Love your videos as always!

Awesome tutorial! Thank you 😊 I’m excited to try these exercises and advice

One of the best toe loop jump videos on KZfaq!thank you!

please make a video on loops, maybe there are some prelinminary exercises

Yeah, I find myself don't even know how to do crossovers in programs when I only practice the elements independently.

Thank you ⚘️ 🙏 Where you " Coaching In LONDON * or UK *

Hi, love your videos but cant always see your feet on this one. Thank you ☺️

Lovely explanations and videos. Thanks for the tips!

???????? Wow Paul, after all that talk about leading with the heel and you not preaching that and then you saying you feel like maybe that is emphasized in America but you have never had a skater penalized for it and it's not something you feel the need to preach I was so surprised to hear that from you today!

I've been trying to learn a half lutz for a few weeks and it's going nowhere. Thank you for this!

Thank you soooo much for sharing the tips to master a spin. I have difficulties keeping my upper body stable and my shoulder always tilts. Is there any exercise to strengthen the upper body?

This is really good thanks

6:28 WHAT IS THAT "TOE LIFT" STOP CALLED????? I've never seen anyone do that one before.

As expected....fantastic video. I love the ten minute detailed length and all the helpful ideas. Highly useful. I haven't seen any other ice video on this topic at all but this is really the core of what I need, or any skater needs. I have watched scores of videos in my ice career of 1.5 years and this may be the single best video I've seen. hahaha by the way I have the Gustav Lussi DVD set and that's a joke compared to this video. The production values are also first rate and I am often annoyed by intrusive music but I actually enjoyed the outro music on this. I find your "private ice" demarcation amusing....it's like "CAUTION: Cross this line at your peril."

I can give a name to 8:10. I'll call it "practicing your flow for fun and profit."

8:10 padding out practice jumps with a flowing routine for joy....in theory I love that. The problem is it takes a lot of ice to practice that way. I only skate during public session, I don't have the luxury of a lot of ice. I know some good skaters that are all over the ice like that and Oooooooo is that annoying.
