This is a quality tutorial. I've been having trouble getting one foot spins, but after taking your advice and practicing a quarter turn at a time, then half turn, without rushing it... I saw massive improvement! Thanks for that tip (and the whole video)!
Thank you for this!! I think I've only seen one other video of someone doing a one foot spin on an outdoor surface and that was just a tiny clip, so it's nice to see someone else doing it!
Thanks for this! i've been (on an off) working on my one foot spin and have like 1.5 rotations but need to up it! after watching this i'm also gonna try the scratch spin ^^
I usually never leave comments, but this is the first time I’ve actually listened and fully understood an instructional; EVER on UA-cam. I actually listened to your tutorial on my way to the skate park, and I could envision what you were saying, and now that I went back and watched it again. Your words are very thorough and I really appreciate it! I haven’t looked to see if you have other videos. If you don’t, please make some more if u do, can’t wait to see em!😊
Great skater … just started following you .. your video on pivoting really helped .. I’ve been on a Douglas Snyder plate for 15 years .. I’ll take your advice on my my new plate .. might even upgrade my boot .. I’m now on a 336 ! Keep puttin those videos out they’re really helpful!
what are those dark wheels for at the inner back trunks ?? are those a harder wheel like 98A ??? and what kind of hardness cushion you use 78A ? thanks for the video will show to my friends in the Netherlands bye bye ✌️
The black and white wheels on the back inside of my boots are the Fo Mac Harmonies. I used in the back for extra slide when doing spins like the Scratch or Back spin.
Oke thanks alot very kind to answer,, I'm going to practice the one leg spins and low spins ,thanks alot for your teach videos ,,and greetings from the Netherlands bye bye cell ✌️
From what I've noticed is that if you make the trucks stiffer, you have more stability while spinning, which after a while you can loosen up slowly as your technique gets better. However, if you have slightly looser trucks then Scratch/Backspins are easier to do since you can lean more into the edge of the spin. Stiff trucks makes Scratch and Back spins a bit more tricky to do since you can't lean as much before tilting onto the edge of your wheels. I hope this helps clarify things! 😇
The vertigo naturally fades over time the more you get used to spinning. The only method I found that helps is to just stay still or immediately do another skate move until the vertigo fades. P.S. I also don't spot my spins similar to how ice skaters do.
Yessir...been putting in work on these since watching one of your other vids...my counterclockwise one foot toe spins are getting much better...definitely considering changing my back inside wheels to get more slide for the one foot spins 🛼👊🏾
Nice break down. Thanks for making it plain.❤
You're welcome! 😇😇😇

This is the only scratch spin tutorial on the internet
i love how you mention the muscles required in turning,,,,i'm going to try this trick tonight, thank you for the tutorial!!!!
You're so welcome!
Its just one of those things that can really help shorten the amount of time spent trying to figure out the move 😁😇
Thank you for this!! I think I've only seen one other video of someone doing a one foot spin on an outdoor surface and that was just a tiny clip, so it's nice to see someone else doing it!
No problem, this was one tutorial on my list I was really looking forward to creating. I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😇
Nice..can you do a special on boot stiffness and plate types?
i always come back to this video. its so great!!

It makes me very happy that you were able to understand and learn from my videos!!! I'm always worried that leaving out tips. 😁😇
Yeah bro your spins are nice

Thank you! I'm glad that the video helped you out! 😊
Riedell's 336 boot is a pretty good boot for skating, it can hold up for some years.

I want to know if having looser trucks or tighter trucks makes any difference? Or which one is best for spinning?
From what I've noticed is that if you make the trucks stiffer, you have more stability while spinning, which after a while you can loosen up slowly as your technique gets better.
However, if you have slightly looser trucks then Scratch/Backspins are easier to do since you can lean more into the edge of the spin.
Stiff trucks makes Scratch and Back spins a bit more tricky to do since you can't lean as much before tilting onto the edge of your wheels.
I hope this helps clarify things! 😇
What plates do u have on ur 3200 customs???
At the time of this video it was the Roll Line Giotto plate.
How do you not get dizzy? Thanks 😊
The vertigo naturally fades over time the more you get used to spinning. The only method I found that helps is to just stay still or immediately do another skate move until the vertigo fades.

Swapping out the back inside wheels definitely helps out a lot when it comes to learning the One Foot Spin. Makes it easier to hold longer spins.
