Any tips on camel spins???????????????????

Question

I been skating for 7 months now,and I started to learn how to do a camel spin about a month ago,but I can only get 2 sometimes 3 rotations,I know I need a longer edge going into it(that's what my coach keeps telling me) but i just can't seem to do that. Any tips???

Answer 1

I don't know how much sense this will make but I'm gonna try it anyways.

okay.. when I was learning a camel spin the most important thing I had to learn was that when your foot steps down to start the rotations you must pop you back leg as your swing your arms around. If you swing your arms before you pop your leg then the spin will probably not be very sucessful.

OH! and also, when you put your foot down make sure your leg is bent and as your back leg pops up your straighten the leg your spinning on.

I hope that makes sense, good luck :D
