June 6, 20188 yr 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

Maybe not yet maybe don't tempt injury just yet congrats on the backspin, though!

Someone recommended Dawn, I heard she was very picky about technique... 1 hour ago, robin said: Today I managed my first backspins on the spinner that had more than 2 revs and that I didn't fall out of!

Maybe not yet 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

I think my flip will need the practice lol
July 3, 20188 yr Author 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.
July 5, 20188 yr I've watched Yuzu too long....rinkmate tells me for my toe jumps, apparently I also point my toe outwards. Yes, even on a toe loop.

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 not really any options to choose from for me, at least not within reasonable distance so I just gotta hope for the best with the guy at our rink

There’s only one single skate shop in our whole federal state lol 11 hours ago, 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. 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
