    Very well explained Julia. I did not know twizzles were so new, invented in 1990. When were three turns invented?

    • @CoachJulia
      @CoachJulia  2 года назад +19

      Three turns are pretty old, they have been around since the 1800s at least. Twizzles are new enough that I only learned them in the past 10 years as a coach, No one was doing them when I was skating in my younger years.

    • @jugglejazz
      @jugglejazz 2 года назад +3

      So interesting that the idea of a continuous 3 turn was there waiting to be discovered. What is history of scratch spin or spin on full blade? Not sure of the terminology, I study skating for hockey. Figure skating is incredibly useful and I have learnt a lot from your videos.

    I have a love-hate relationship with twizzles, they're so cool and I want to be able to do them but damn they're kinda terrifying to attempt, I'm still working on it. I find it hard to keep traveling straight, I keep making the curve too sharp. Practice, practice... 😅

    • @CoachJulia
      @CoachJulia  2 года назад +10

      I definitely feel that love hate relationship as well. They are such a challenge! I never had to learn them when I was younger because no one was even doing them yet! I only started learning them in the past 10 years as a coach!

    • @empathintheoffice4415

      A lot of it is mindset, because if you really think about it, they are not really terrifying, but just unfamiliar. One day they will become familiar. And easy.

    Hi Coach Julia! I've just started lessons and am making my way through all of your skating videos and they've been AMAZING. I'm having issues with my spins+3turns where my bottom-most toepick is scraping the ice whenever I turn. Do you have any advice/drills so I can work on this? I know it's bad form, but I don't know what to do! Info: I didn't have this issue on the rink's rental skates, but have always had it on my own pair. The blade is already as far up the boot as it can go though, so I think it's just me :/

      @JillianBarnowsky 2 года назад +2

      I’m a new adult skater too, and I really struggled with two foot turns too. I worked a lot on bending, rising, and bending my knees, so eventually I could turn during the “rising”. All about the upper body and using the rocker, or the rounded part of the blade (at least for me).
      For one foot glides, really make sure your skates and blades are properly aligned!! I really struggled with them until I got my blades professionally aligned (they actually had to be mounted closer to the inside part of my foot rather than “perfectly centered” because my arches roll in to the middle a bit). Anyways, it really took away the “work” of one foot glides and then I was able to just focus on using my abs to keep me balanced. Not sure if any of that will help but I wanted to at least share my experience!

      @@CoachJulia @Coach Julia Thank you! I really appreciate how well you teach basic skills in your videos. I'd like to see some videos for off-ice exercises that help with the on-ice skills, especially exercises for balance and strengthening that don't require going to a gym. As an elderly beginner (>60 years old), some off-ice skill building would help me feel more confident when I'm learning the more advanced skills on the ice.
      Group adult lessons start again today for us. I started seriously taking figure skating lessons in 2019. I invested in heat-molded Jackson Elle skates because none of the beginner skates fit my feet. These pro shop fitted skates make it feel like the blades are part of my feet. Having boots that don't hurt makes a huge difference in acquiring new skills. For anyone who hasn't watched your videos about skates and how pro shops can help you, I recommend spending a few minutes watching those older uploads.
      However, after 18 months off the ice, I'm sure that it will feel like I've never skated before when I step on the rink. I had just barely passed Basic 4 when the pandemic shut down our rinks. When the ice rinks weren't available, I tried in-line skating (waited 2 months for skates & wheels designed for asphalt), but in-line skating is really not the same as gliding and working the skates on the ice, not at all. Pond skating wasn't great for practicing any of the finer, detail skills because the ice was so poor. I was still a lot of fun to glide on ice with the cold air on my face. Too bad it rained so much, though!
