Help! Forward 1-foot spin problem.

[skatetiludrop]

Ok, I can never seem to get into that outside edge on the left skating foot when I enter into the spin. I think I'm too scared to actually lean on the outside edge and spin on there. The most bizarre thing is I can do back spin and sit spin ok. On the sit spin, when I try to get up and continue with the scratch spin, I just start to go uncontrollably wild on inside edge. So, I really need some help here. I want to pass Freestyle 2!
Any tips will be greatly appreciated! ;)

When you are doing a forward spin, you should be spinning on an back inside edge. There's a three turn and then you spin when you set up your spins and the outside edge should hook almost into a number six when you look at the tracing on the ice when you're done, so that's probably why you are having problems with spinning on the outside edge (unless you are trying a more advanced version and are flipping the spinning edge back over).

Hope that helps!
