I can't get over how helpful seeing the words/ listening to the words/ and seeing the action combines to make this video penetrate my mind and sub-conscience. It becomes evident when I hit the ice.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I have a huge "mental block" when it comes to these three turns. I'm an adult skater and only started skating last year at the age of 38 (now 39). But I will persevere and conquer this!
Hi Mariette, congratulations on getting this far! To break through your mental block to a higher level, there are several things you can do to help yourself. First off, make sure that you do some kind of fitness or conditioning off ice, preferably with a fitness trainer. This is important as avoiding falls is impossible, but increasing your body's ability to withstand falls and avoid injury is possible. We work with an off ice trainer as well, in order to be stronger on the ice and to reduce the risk on injury. The other thing you should do is analyze the turn and see where your problem lies. Then, work on that problem in a simpler exercise. So for example, if you are struggling with the turn, try doing it on two feet as well. If you are having trouble with the edges, try working on them separately as well. Hope this helps!
Thank you so much! I have a "mental block" when it comes to a one foot three turn ... can do it without any problem on two feet. But as soon as I have to do it on one foot all wheels fall off. When I have to do the actual turn I get all fluttered and anxious. Think the biggest problem is the pressure on the "sweet spot" when I have to turn as I usually turn more on a flat and then fall. It's almost like I battle to "rise" when I swop edges.
42 and just started also but I used to use inline skates pretty well so a little easier. Just managed three turn with the left foot and I am struggling on the right foot lol... There is always something eheh. Hope by now you are a champ as it was 2 years ago!!
Baaaaad habit. Anytime you notice you are sticking out your tongue, make an effort to always notice that and train yourself not to do that. You don't want to fall and bite off your tongue.
Excellent and unusual video.Very helpful. Excellent camera work and helpful overlay graphics. Interesting to see how she explicitly angles her ankles and calves to force the edges.
I practiced this at least 200 times yesterday. I think I am finally getting there! One thing that helped me was using the wall for support at first while I learned to get the feel of the balance and where the pressure was while turning on one foot. I also started to get the feel of how to use my raised leg to propel the spin and use it for a counterbalance. This video is perfect thanks!
i'm 59 years old but started on roller skates at age 5 converted to ice skates at age 20 skated off and on but got serious in 2012 about doing figure skating since then i started skating regularly.
Hi. What should I do with my upper body in this turn? There are specific instructions in outside 3 turn about upper body, like which shoulder should be in front. Could you help with this? Thank you a lot.
i have a problem with these turns to. right inside 3 turn isn't to bad but i just can't get the left inside 3 turn to work. but my coach saids we will keep working on it and it will come. your videos are so helpful thank you for doing your videos.
If you're struggling in one direction and not so much the other, and you have been doing both for a while, then I would say your problem likely stems from edge control or ankle strength. Try doing some basic edge work such as Double Knee Bends, or the edge work in our Skating Essentials series. Really take time to develop edge control and it will do wonders for you. And no one, certainty not me (Oleg) has mastered edges to where they can stop making them better.
@@kseniyaOleg Many thanks for making this video and taking the time to reply! Among all four forward 3 turns, left inside came last for me, and it came and went. Last time I was determined to really get the muscle memory sink in by doing it many times when it came back, which made my left ankle feel sore. I think you’re right in attributing struggles in one direction to ankle strength. I’ll practice more. My question is: my exit lobe is tight. I seem to over-rotate. How to correct it?
Hi, by Checking your shoulders against your hips, do you mean keeping your shoulders still in a different direction from your hips? And a cross check across your back, does it mean the tension between the shoulder and free foot?
Hi Phoebe! Yes and yes. Checking your shoulders against your hips means you skate in through one position (say through your right side, but not too much) then as you rise to turn you twist your shoulders to the left side. This ends up checking against the direction of travel of your hips, stopping your rotation. This is used to keep yourself from unraveling, and is used in various forms throughout the turns as well as some other skating elements.
That shoulder check is key in various skating moves. I have watched these videos over and over and I have a good coach, and I can do that check well, and it's helpful, but I don't really understand it. It seems to be something difficult to understand, and therefore explain. However in my three turn journey I have found that that shoulder check is crucial to a successful turn.
She"s a pro and has some leeway in how she can do it. You're a student and don't. Do it the way they are teaching you. When you're a pro you can do it any way you want.

Just to add that I could not skate at all when I started!

Mariette Pressly yay. I started too. I'm 40.

I will try this. Usually my tongue sticks out when I do this😂😂😂😂
LOL
I would love to see that! 🙂

Guys, THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST SKATING TH-cam CHANNELS, thank you so much! ❤️❤️ Ребята, большое спасибо за видео, они супер!!
I’m learning these at the moment. I find it helps to use the wall initially, just to get the ‘feel’ before you venture further on to the ice.
That was key for me.
i'm 59 years old but started on roller skates at age 5 converted to ice skates at age 20 skated off and on but got serious in 2012 about doing figure skating since then i started skating regularly.
Nice!! The top Pairs team in the US Haven Denney and Brandon Frasier were roller skaters before switching.
Amazing videos guys! Thank you for sharing :)
Thank you!! Glad you like them!!

Love your videos!!! Can you please a video on backward O/I 3-turns. thanks.
Yep! we have added it to our list :-)

officialmelpeachey omg I’m the same but I can do my right outside edge but I struggle on left

she's not on the heel whe, she leaves the 3 turn backward ; you can see it easily on the video.

I did this the other week and fell and chipped my coccyx bone and now I can’t skate for a few weeks 🤷🏼♀️
Chloe M ouch! I’m so sorry to hear this! I hope you get well soon. I’ve suffered from coccyx pain for over 10 years!
I have fallen very hard on my coccyx many times. I can't imagine skating without the padded underwear.
