In this video, Lloyd covers one of the main mistakes that stops you from being able to centre your one foot spins on ice. This is specifically when entering the spins from the forward outside edge.
A nice fast spin that doesn't travel along the ice is a very impressive move to do. Not being able to centre the spin correctly will unfortunately ruin it. Try the tips in the video, and let us know in the comments below if it helps your spins.

I feel so attacked right now, haha, the "this is not how you do it" is exactly how my spins are. Thank you for explaining how to correct it! Genuinely appreciate these videos!
It's worse when the skating teachers are like that in real life and I'm an adult. This one lady is a complete bitch about it that I had to write the director to complain how bad she makes me feel every lesson.
this is the best demonstration that i could find on TH-cam. not only the video explained clearly but also showed the correct posture to enter a stable spin. I finally did my first spin today thanks to your help. Really appreciate your tutorial and thank you.
I passed Level 1 elements years ago and can now do spins including change for camels and flying camel. But I never managed to get a well-centred upright spin - despite having had several coaches look at it.
Your video was really, really good and has put me on the path to a much, much better upright. Thank you!
So then none of your coaches taught you these basic, essential, and obvious techniques. Now why do you think that is? I have observed that the quality of ice instruction is very low. It seems intentional. Like the longer you take to learn the more money they can sponge off you.
Just today I was thinking about my spins! Thank you so much!
Used to stay open for a loooong time before pulling into a backspin. 150+ revs consistently. The longer you wait, the better for sure. These videos are cool, I’m a USFS gold medalist in Free skate and moves in the field but I do enjoy watching these videos!
I have counted Dorothy Hamill at 40 revs, and Ronnie Robertson at 50 revs. Frankly I find 150 revs hard to believe. Can you provide a video?
finally i found a video that can fix my problem!! Thank you so much i understanded all of my problems.
you are an excellent coacher, like your teaching
To chyba pierwszy taki kanał który widziałem (uczący jazdy na łyżwach) który jest po polsku 😳😳
It’s so helpful
Thank you! This is a life saver😩🖤
Great tips coach. Thx
Thank you! :)
You're welcome 🙂
Hey my class coach is competing in Poland right now! Great video helped a lot :DD
I finally know what i am doing wrong,thank you so much!!!
great tutorial ... And my favourite ice skating ring :)
Going to try this later on cause my spins are actually embarrassing at the moment 🤣
@2:05 Lol, love the pizza 🍕 analogy 😄. I'm a whole pizza to myself kind of person, so the comparison resonated with me
It also depends on the shape and curvature (or the lack of) of your spinning rocker. I have CA Lites. It was a hard adjustment from the Aspire XP blades because I didn’t have to point my toes downwards before. I have to fight my brain and make it remember that my sweet spot is no longer further back my blades… which was and still is a bit annoying…
I should have gone for the Matrix Legacy blades… 🤦🏻♀️
Thank you so much
You're welcome ❤️
Puffy coat, Jeans, looks like he just walked in from the street. Also looks glorious on ice.
Thank YOU very much 😁
You're welcome, hope it helps your spins 🙂
THANK U FOR THIS I WILL PRACTICEEEE IT
Love it!
Thank you so so so much for this!
My coach always gives me advice such as you should swing around your free leg and hold it in that position for a few revolutions. But how could I possibly do that, if I only had a quarter of a pizza to wing around? I’ve struggled with my one foot spin for months now. It was only now that I noticed my right arm is in front of my free leg and not in line with it. Hopefully this will help
Thank you! I understand it so much better now but I keep getting up on my toe which slows me down. I keep trying to get off of it but then I lose balance and fall.
Thank you! that actually makes sense. BTW why are you in Poland?
What a handsome coach
I know I am but what are you?
Loved the pizza allegory.... Now I'm hungry
Kind of a dumb question. I roller skate instead of ice skate and your videos are informative. Even though I'm skating 8 wheels instead of 1 blade or inline is the information transferable?
A lot of it translates across very well actually! Well, I mean l between inlines and Ice skates. I have had a lot of success teaching inline skaters using figure skating knowledge that I adapt to their skates. Quad skating is a little bit different, but some things still apply. Which skates are you using?
Sure-grips currently and I'm saving up to get some edea skates
@@timothymccardell6592 cool, you're on quad skates. Some techniques apply but there are differences. I'm going to be doing a video on quad skates this summer actually.
I have some members of my website too that skate on quads, so they must also find the instruction translates across for some things too.
Thank you so much I appreciate that.
Omg ,thank youuuu when I use to try to do it ,I end up with 3 turns 😂
Hopefully it will help you avoid doing 3 turns during your spins next time 👍
For me, the hook is what ruins my spin. I have no idea how to fix it. I detest forward spins.
Im not sure why but i do a three turn kind of turn right before the hook and J cannot controll it. Does anyone know why?
When I hook, should I keep the hook position when spinning?
my problem is i started on inlines and learned spins (basic one foot, stratch, camel, basic sit spin, backspin...) on them and now its my second ice season and i still cant stop spinning on toepick. i pretty much cant find the sweet spot no matter the practice help
Hi, have you found a solution? I have the same problem:(
Ive been trying to spin for 2 years😞 what is wrong with me🤦🏻♀️
Just curious, are you in Poland?
He is. It’s tor tor ice rink located in Toruń :)
@@user-ct8qx4zy2t 🤩
@@user-ct8qx4zy2t Nah! It's Mentor ice-rink in Toruń. We have 2. Tor tor is bigger. :)
where are u skating?
This video was filmed in Mentor ice rink, Torun, Poland 👍
My only problem with 1 foot spins is My skating leg doesn’t really spin and it just ploughs the ice a bit like a stop
Is it the toepick grinding into the ice or is the blade skidding?
Sounds like your "first" problem rather than your "only" problem. Yep, I've been doing this too. The problem is you are trying to spin on your toe in a single point on the ice like a ballerina would, but that's not how it's done. Instead the blade should be skating backwards in little circles. Lloyd actually does appear to be spinning on a single point, but he's a pro, he can do things differently when we can't. But even Lloyd but more so other coach videos show that the skate should be skating small circles and not just spinning on a point.
Weirdly, this is also a good instruction for twizzles.....
