Steps
Okay, so in this section, we're going to do twizzles. Quite an advanced move. Quite effective as well, in routines, it's actually, now, a required element for world championship for the Olympic skating level ice skaters.
This has to be done to perfection. So, what you are going to do on this is, start off doing an inside twizzle. The first stage of doing a forward inside twizzle is pretty much like when you're doing a forward inside 3 turn.
Starting off with your opposite arm slightly in front so on this particular occasion, we're going to do it on our left forward inside to start off with, keeping our right side slightly forward. When you push off into the twizzle, it's very important not to turn and rotate the whole body around first. You want to bring your left side into your right side and go that motion as you're turning, coming off of a forward inside edge.
I'm now going to show you a forward snide twizzle starting on the left foot. Keep your right arm slightly in front. When you rotate around and you're standing on the one leg, it's very important not to pull your right side around.
You want to leave your left side coming around and in and putting it in that direction now, okay, keeping everything as tight as you possibly can without going all tense in your shoulders. You want to start off on you left forward inside edge, rotating around and out. There's your first instruction for a forward inside twizzle.
I'll show you that again and we'll both feet this time, starting on the left and going straight on to the right. So, there's your instructory to the forward inside twizzle. That was actually a single twizzle.
We're now going to attempt now doing a double twizzle which is basically two rotations instead of the single one. Very, very difficult particular move to master. Let's go give it a try.
So, you actually need to pull in a lot tighter and maintain eye level so that you don't fall off the actual move itself so initially what I will do is I will do a double twizzle on the left foot. So, that was your forward inside twizzle. Once you become a bit more accomplished in doing that, you can attempt it from a forward outside edge.
You also have backward inside twizzles and backward outside twizzles. They are a lot harder than a forward inside twizzles are a perfect place for you to start. So good luck, enjoy, and that's how to do forward inside twizzles. . |
