Question for figure skaters, like me!??

Question

im wondering why, since im in Gamma/Delta, we're working on our 3 turns, and for some reason, im better on my left 3 turn then my right one! why is that, plus im right handed! so why am i better on my left than right, even on my back crossovers, my left side is easier even though i passed both but my left ones are more comfertable! why is that when im NOT left handed?!

Answer 1

Your hand and your feet are different. Just because you're right-handed doesn't mean you're right-footed. Every skater is different.

Answer 2

See, I'm the opposite.  I'm left handed and my right foot is better!  I have no idea why, but it is :].

Answer 3

well some people are like that

your skating side is lefty and you write with your right

dont worry your not wierd or anything

:)

Answer 4

Well on just about everyone (from what I've seen) its the opposite foot and hand :) I am left handed but I am better on my right foot for everything. My coach is right handed and is better on her left foot. The same goes for my other friends who figure skate also.

Answer 5

i'm exactly like that but i'm better on my right then my left lol wierd isn't it but in skating i always have one side better than the other ^_^

Answer 6

right handed ppl spin on their left leg, n 4 turns are sorta like a half revolution spin so that wud explain it, it is also possible that u are left footed, i was left footed but i switched over to right.

Answer 7

Even though you are right handed you can be left footed, which can make your left three turn a little easier than your right three turn.

Answer 8

i'm the exact same way. my instructor is always asking me if im left handed and im like uh no! but its easier for me that way. i tend to do spirals, spins, and waltz jumps easier on my left leg. but i don't know why. but you should still try to practice on the side that you aren't so good on so that they'll be equally good, i try that some times!!! ( - 8 good luck with your skating!!!
