- Hello Skaters! Welcome back! Today I have a special guest, my sister Abigail! She is here to help me teach Shoot-The-Ducks, a fun move that is really going to strengthen your legs for sit spin down the road. Abigail used to be the Shoot-The-Duck queen, she could hold the position with no hands, for over a minute circling around the rink. Pretty impressive! I am so glad she could join me for this one.

I am going to try this tomorrow when i go skating tomorrow. Me and the ice is going to be best friend 😂
You and the ice are going to get to know each other real well! 😆 Good Luck with your practice!!
Dear coach Julia,
My name is Josephine and I live in Sweden. I am 8 ½ years old. I have been practicing so hard to do shoot the duck. After watching your video, I finally managed to do it. Today I was asked by my teachers to demostrate shoot the duck in front of my whole group. I felt so proud. Thank you so much for making your videos.
Josephine
Awe, that is wonderful! Congratulation on your accomplishment.
I used to do it (this was one of my "I'm so proud of" elements, because most of my schoolmates were not able to perform this) ... 25 yrs and some, not only a few, kgs less ago 😆 I'm almost 40 now and I told myself, that the day will come and I will be able to perform it again. Together with other simple elements I used to know. A good motivation to show my kids what their mum knows... 😆 And a great motivation to start to work on how my body looks like and works. I like your videos really a lot. You explain all steps really well. Thank you for your work for us!
At 41 this skill is soooo hard for me. I can still demonstrate it somewhat, but it isn't pretty! 😆
Appreciate that you tell us the name of all these moves you show. I love that I can use the name and not just that “squat leg forward”move. 😁 AND you show sooo many moves to improve and help skaters to gradually advance to more difficult moves. I use your videos for inline 😉 Awesome!!
You're so welcome! I am glad you find my videos helpful! (I used to never be able to keep the names of moves straight. It wasn't until I started coaching that it finally sunk in! 😆)
Unless you are British in which case this move is a "teapot" (possibly because we like tea and are not big on shooting stuff.)
It looks so much easier than it actually is :,)
Oh my gosh, that is so true!!! 😆
This one I get up until it's time to stand back up. Good thing shoot the duck is close to the ice. Not far to fall. I'll try next time with your sister's advice.
Same
Yoga really helps master this! It's an intense chair pose/buddha squat
Great Tip!
This was so helpful! Thanks to your tutorial , I did my first shoot the duck! My coach and I were getting super frustrated because I couldn’t get it. Although I fell quite a bit attempting, I got it eventually. Thank you so so so so much!
Oh yay! So glad my video could help.
Hey Coach, I'm amazed how long Abigail's is in a glide. Going into the move, it seems, speed is essential
She does a pretty impressive shoot the duck! And yes, speed really helps, and you slow done it becomes harder to maintain the position.
Very nice to see you teaching together!
Thank you! 😃
Im actually learning this right now at my lessons. Right on time coach!! ❤️
Oh that's perfect!
My issue with this one is flexibility. My body won't bend that way. Do you have any recommendations for any specific stretches/exercises to get the flexibility for Shoot the Duck and, later, sit spins?
Try to keep practicing it off ice
Pistol squats are great for gaining strength for shoot the ducks
just started learning this today in practice!!
tysm for this :D took me a few hours of stretching my ankles and practicing the squat but i got it by 2pm after randomly wanting to learn it at 1am. The tips are great ^^
Nice job!!
Hi Julia I just started coaching figure skating again after 20years (the NO you tube days) and your channel has been a great help in refreshing my coaching skills and helping me to skate again. I thank you so much for your channel I love it and you. Love from down under 🇦🇺 Carrie.
Ps my laces are way too long on my new Jackson Elle boots what should I do?
This really helped me! Thank you!
aahhh just when I've hung up my skates for the season! All my indoor rinks are closed due to lockdown and likely won't be open again until September :'(
I did many shoot-the-ducks this winter, but could never quite get low enough and when I did, I never managed to hold one beyond 5 seconds. Based on this video, it turns out my shoulders were too far back! That, and I need stronger legs 😂
Your videos are so helpful! Can you more tutorials on compulsory figures?
Awe, bummer! Hopefully rinks start opening up again soon!
I been trying to get it done going forward. I can do it backwards once I'm all warmed up. Going to try and remember this advice. Maybe re-watch video while on the ice.
Good luck with your practicing!
Thanks much for simplifying this skill...will this segue into a sit spin tutorial soon...?😊
Hopefully Soon!
i can kinda do it but i have no leg strength to hold it lol thank you for the video !!
It does take a lot of strength! But that is something that you can definitely work on and improve.
This helped so much thanks
I have been trying to do the shoot the duck for so long. And I just can't get down low enough. I really hope this tutorial can help me.
Work on that quad strength!
Yeah my mom also tells me to work on my quad strength. And now that you, my favorite youtuber responded I will be doing it so much more!
Just learnt this! :)
So cool!
@@CoachJulia thank you 😁
Awesome
Right? My sister is pretty awesome!
I would be interested in your instruction for sit spin and death drop entry. 🙏
That looks awesome!
Such a cool move right??
Thanks to both of you for making this video! It was hard for me to hold the position. After seeing this video I think I know what the problem is. Question: Does the shoulder-knee-rocker alignment work also for backward shoot-the-ducks? Any other tips for doing it backwards?
It definitely works for backwards shoot-the-ducks as well!

Greetings!
I need to practice this more. I am having trouble lowering to do my sit spins. What off ice excersises do you recommend?
A few years ago a physiotherapist I spoke to told me that a pistol squat is an advanced move, he could do it but few if any of his colleagues could. I just don’t have the strength. Being 60 does not help.
My boot is always so stiff and I can never get low enough because of it
When I try to do this my extended leg starts shaking violently. I’m not afraid of falling so that’s not it. I can’t even get into the position off ice. Is it a leg muscle weakness?
💌
I know how to do shoot the duck on roller skates. Is it the same on the ice?
It is the same!!
Nice! When I start my ice skating lessons, I’ll already have one skill down lol
Julia, Your sister looks and sounds very very similar to you.
My 14 yr old just cannot get this ....it looks easy but definitely not as easy as one would think and she's been in ballet for 7 years gets spins and a few jumps but just cannot master shoot the duck.
It is a really tough move!
Is there such a thing as backward shoot the duck
There is! It is really cool looking and is often done on the outside edge
@@CoachJulia at my arena they say backwards is easier but I got my forward but not backwards. Me and my friends disagree. What is your opinion??
Who decided to put this skill in the “Basic” curriculum 😂😭
Does anyone else have knee issues when shooting the duck? I think I am pushing my knee out to the side too much…
