Scratch Spin

Hello everyone, I am so existed to teach you how to do a scratch spin. This spin is considered more basic, depending on how hang revolutions you do. Right now this spin is one of my favorites and it is a key concept to learn your other spins.

1. Start of doing backwards crossovers clockwise.
2. Lift up your left leg holding a back inside edge.
3. Push forward with your left leg (bending it) and right leg pushed back in landing stance (straight)
4. Left arm leading with right arm pushed back 
5. Inside 3-turn, bring your right leg around followed by you right arm.
6. Legs forming a V shape with your arms as you spin
7. Both arm scoop in to your heart
8. Right leg come up forming an H over your left leg
9. Push right leg down (crossing legs together)
10. Hips back
11. Squeeze legs!
12. You will be spinning on the ball of your blade
13. Set right leg back on the ice, pushing left leg behind going backward
14. Landing position

I go into it winding-up, but you can also go into the spin with just a push. The most advance you get the more revolutions you do and he faster you will go. If you start to fall one directing shift you arms to the other side as you spin. Here is a demonstration of me doing the Scratch Spin:
