Audrey Weisiger - Developing Change of Edge Spins



Audrey Weisiger describes how to teach change of edge spins.  Many coaches asked for information about this and Audrey came through in a big way.  She explains in detail how she develops these skills, from upright spins to more complex positions.  She also states the importance of the standard forward and back spins in all three positions, upright, sit and camel.

» [- Aug 20, 2009 at 11:04 PM -] Daphne Solis says: I am so glad that Audrey mentioned the importance of teaching the basic spins first! I have seen many entry level skaters doing the change of edge spins (on purpose) and often have wondered to myself if the original spin they were changing the edge from could have/should have been stronger. Wouldn't that make the spin have more WOW! factor!! :-) This had great drill ideas that I will be adding to my 'toolbox of tips and tricks.' I have one particular skater in mind for trying these out tomorrow. Very helpful, thank you!

» [- Feb 11, 2010 at 5:27 AM -] venkataraju says: Thank You, for giving good information about change of edge.

» [- Feb 16, 2010 at 5:20 PM -] Nikki says: Awesome!! I will definitely try this with some of my skaters and myself, as I have limited experience with these! Any tips on how to teach the basics to older beginner kids who would much rather work on the "cooler" spins? I notice my skaters practicing the more advanced spins they see other skaters doing, rather than perfecting their "boring" basic spins. Always so helpful! Thank you!
