What is your favorite spin to do?

Hi!

sorry i spelled favorite wrong in the title. fast typing...

I would have to say, my fav. is the regular camel into a sit spin.

It moves very fast and smoothly.

not sure if this counts as a spin i made but....

I love doing a forward layback-change foot-back layback and then i go onto a forward inside edge on my back layback and then in a thompson/spaghetti spin leaning back like in a layback.

What is this spin? Is it an upright back spin with the free leg extended and crossed behind?

I responded "flying camel" in the poll b/c my fav spin to do is probably a back camel of any sort. I also love to do laybacks. I really just love to spin!

Me, too!!

I chose forward scratch, but forward sit is a close second for me. The other spins I know (backspin, fwd. camel) are not truly great spins yet, only spin attempts! :O)

Actually, I don't like spinning! Can do a 1-foot spin that is beginning to look like a spin now, but the only spin I do that actually works is my dance spin.

My fave is the I-spin variation my coach and I made up. It's really cool!

forward sit

I've been working at getting all the way down of late. Getting closer! I personally love to jump. Spinning is okay on a good day, but nothing is better than jumps on a good day! =-) (I landed my 2 loop clean once, first CLEAN, on Monday!!! Kinda excited. =-))
