Murieleirum Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Sorry to break the professional skater streak with my n00b skating experiences I swear when I'll get the money I'll start taking classes... Yesterday I went skating with my friends and I got helped by two serious people to start trying to do a spin (without being able to do three-turns or controlling my edges well, lol), which I didn't really succeed in (yet), but there was a funny moment. I was trying to do a basic RFI entry on two feet, but I didn't have enough initial push and lost my balance easily. So one of the two skaters who helped me guided my movements, "pulled" me which gave me the push I needed, and I entered the spin so nicely! It made me feel as if it's not like I can't do stuff because I am no good and skating is not for me, but because I have no one teaching me the right technique... (Three turns still feel impossible tho) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Three turns still feel impossible tho) Well that takes guts. Usually what happens when I offer to pull someone for a spin practice, even if the skater knows how to do 2 foot spins or 1 foot spins is like this: Me: Well I can help pull you to get into the circle for the spin- Rinkmate: No no no Me: You sure? It might help... Rinkmate: Positive, I might fall if you pull me. It's too scary. Me: o_O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
