sk8pics - thanks for your understanding. I thought for sure I was the only person in the world that has struggled with spins! It is just such an embarrassing admission after all these years! But the re-evaluation did make me realize how far I have come. I remember actually crying as I tried to do a basic 3 turn many years ago.

skateflo- Yeah, it does help to know that other people are struggling with the same thing! As for 3-turns, I remember getting so mad and frustrated with them! Now, the forward outside ones are no problem. The inside ones, well,

Hang in there!

Absolutely no way! I can't spin, nor can't my husband, nor can't my friend's husband, and she can only spin clockwise. Which does not bode well for our Adult Championships this autumn, since both of us couples want to enter, and you have to have a 3-revolution dance spin. At least the hold isn't specified for the baby levels - another friend, who skates at a higher level, was bewailing the fact that one of her spins has to be in closed hold (but I don't know of another hold to do it in).
