these are the best explanations ever. very thankful for these!!! i've only been skating 3 times so far, all this week, and today i was finally able to hockey stop. I attempted the eagle and i just automatically spin. I am far from being able to even practice it. I used your other eagle for beginners video, but i personally need like a super ultra beginner beginner eagle lesson--ideas for content for you. I am guessing 3:45 this is maybe whats happening on my failed eagle attempts. If i do it right foot forward, i can't get the left foot down at all, let alone balance equally on both, i just spin immediately. I'm looking for an explanation on all the potential pitfalls to learning to do an eagle, as a total beginner with like 1 hour of skate time overall. I did hockey stop on both sides today easily--probably 20 or 30 on each side. But this eagle feels impossible for me. And this eagle is my ultimate weapon, so i need need need to get it ultra down. Thanks!!
This was great! Could you do a similar video for the outside edge? TIA

What do you mean by not sickle or buckle the ankle?
I had the exact same question! Would be great to get a video going deeper into the big no-no mistakes
Why are the hands up?
