robin Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Today I managed my first backspins on the spinner that had more than 2 revs and that I didn't fall out of! I just got too slow and had to stop spinning. I am not quite there yet but yay I had like 5 revs on one. Just when I started telling myself that I will never learn backspins I also did some regular spins but I'm scared to go all out on them bc of my ankle. Maybe not yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not yet Expand Backspins seem scary but I'm sure you'll get there! Being able to do them on the spinner is impressive, I still haven't figured out how to use it at all. I started working on them too but I'm so lazy to practice them bc struggling is no fun lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my flip will need the practice lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuzuangel Posted July 3, 2018 Author Share Posted July 3, 2018 I still can't check my 3-turn properly into my Salchow so I am going to try to practice it from a mohawk instead now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My coach told me to get fitted by a particular tech because most of her skaters have had good experiences with him, for example. Ah, that's what I was aiming for, but it turns out Edea isn't really right for my feet... It was a pity because I wanted to avoid the break-in period.

There’s only one single skate shop in our whole federal state lol On 7/21/2018 at 12:02 AM, guitarist said: Ah, that's what I was aiming for, but it turns out Edea isn't really right for my feet... It was a pity because I wanted to avoid the break-in period. Expand Why aren’t they for your feet? I am also thinking about Edeas eta: And I just called and they don't even have Edeas or Risport Royals there They only have Jackson Freestyles and RF3s. Both not stiff enough for me... They said they can order whatever I need but I can't try them on.... If I order them there it will be more expensive than online but they are the only people who could mount blades for me so i'll have to take that offer I wanna move countries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
