OK 3 things.... 1. This is such a good video broken down so well, 2. Love those trousers and 3. I love that even thou you are a advanced skater your still leading a good example by wearing safety gear
you are such a great and encouraging instructor! this really broke down so many of the little technicalities that i had questions about. and i so love that you're wearing safety gear. thank you for your kindness and encouraging us to be patient with ourselves!
Hi Skatie! I am just attempting the three turn but my wheels have a lot of grip -85- and it’s very hard to me to move the skate stepping the floor. May this be the reason I can’t turn? Or I should still be able to do it? Thanks! 🥰
It is definitely harder with a soft wheel as you have to put more weight forwards to lift the back wheels of the ground more otherwise as you’re experiencing, they catch on the turn. These types of turns are definitely easier with harder wheels.
oh yeah !!!! Now were rolling ! This is one of the hardest things for me to do is a three turn. About a year ago I tried to do this in a parking lot with a bit of a slope to it, i was using a light pole as you are doing the chairs, & for the first time I ended up falling backwards, feet went up in the air and fell on my head so hard that it broke my helmet. Thank God I had the helmet on. I told myself I would never ever do that again until I safely new how to do it inside first. Thank you so much for this video !
Oh wow! So glad you had your helmet on! Ouch. Take it slow and make sure you’re stable on one foot backwards and forwards before you try it rolling xx.
Hi, is there an easier way to learn the 3turn? i am dead scared. This is the only thing remaining from my grade 3. Are there other drills i have to be able to do before the 3turn ?
Have you tried my pivots video. They are the same skill technically but because they tend to be done stationary you can build them up with 1/4 turns first.
Hello ! I just wanna thank you so much, your videos helped me amazingly from just barely standing still to being very confident and now starting learning more advanced figures Keep going ! :D
For the forward inside 3 in figure skating it would be advanced to do an inside 3 with the free leg not behind the skating leg. I never attempted it. It's harder to check and keep your balance. Now for quads is it a matter of preference or is it easier for the free leg to be away?
The inside free on quads the leg is held static so start behind and remain in place so once the skating foot has turned the leg is in front. Taking the leg around to the back creates a lot of swing and the heavy skate is more likely to pull you off balance.
Hi Katie, excellent video, thanks! Do you have any instruction for doing backward to forward 3 turns? I've got all four forward nailed now, but as a former ice figure skater (40 years ago now lol), I'm a bit confused about how to do a backward to forward one. Is it just "lifting" the toe as you turn? I have tried this a few times and it eels very unsteady. Thanks 🙂
Uh Oh Coach…@1:58 secs you start to alternate the inside and outside turns. You mentioned to have the weight forward (on the right ball of the foot lifting the heel) to then execute the turn. And then from the other side, to have the weight forward on the ball of the foot to then execute the turn back into the original starting position…but I thought for one of those turns you said to do on the heel. Just a lil confused and could use some clarity. Of course I can’t find that spot in the video now but I’ll keep lookin. Thank You EDIT: Found it…it’s @1:28 and it’s to execute the forward inside (I think). Lol
They’re both done on the ball of the foot. I do say slip the heel round, maybe that’s the confusion. By that I mean those wheels lift so they can slip around just meaning lift them slightly. Definitely both done on the toe wheels which makes them fit together so nicely.
Just found your channel! I have tend to extend my free leg and use it a bit like a weight? I have 6 of 8 threeturns but really need practice putting them together with other moves. I've also been thinking of investing in a dance skate (currently skate an older model Risport) yours are so pretty 😍
Thank you xx. I’m a Risport girl. I skate in a lot of the older models too. Cristallo and diamanté. The only current model (non 90’s) I have are the Risport dance boot. Which I wear a lot
I’d saying the moving part of this skill is definitely more intermediate to advanced. But the static section is much more beginner and helps with balance. Don’t get disheartened, this is definitely not an easy one xx.
Still working up my confidence on wheels... I used to love doing this on ice... But that's my discipline. You'd think I'd prefer inline skates, however I really dislike modern in-lines that I keep trying to get it together on my quads. I thought I'd like the 101As... I've even tried it on phenolics, but I still don't feel steady enough. After 2 years back on wheels, I still feel too much pull of the wheels. However, I'm more confident carving a hill outdoors, so I know it's coming... I just gotta stay patient and disciplined. I have spent more time on ice in my younger years, than on pavement. Even a frozen pond, lake, or even in the street. I miss those days. Its about the only time I can say I loved living in Alaska. Never had to go far for ice. Now that I live in Southern California, I live nowhere near ice, nor even an indoor rink. So, I keep trying on quads... I have every wheel imaginable... And none of them compare to ice.
If you’re looking for super slick wheels have you tried the D scale? With rollers you’ll need to press harder over on the inner and outer wheels to get the edges. With ice the weight stays move central on the blade with a lean. Make sure to employ the foot and really lean so those wheels bend together. Make sure your trucks are nice and flexible too.
@@Skatie thanks for the info! I'll give them a go! I bet it's also because I haven't tried loosening up my back trucks yet. I'm almost afraid to loosen them up too much. But everything in due time. Just taking it slow and steady.
Thank you Katie! I just started learning this in Artistic lesson, but I need to understand the technicalities of what I’m doing. So I was learning the Left Forward Outside 3 Turn. And now I know where to put my weight. 👍 And I need to get slicker wheels so I can slip those back wheels around. I’ll get this. 😁
It’s a difficult skill so be patient with yourself. Sounds like you’re understanding the move really well so I’m sure you’ll unlock it soon. Have fun xx
I learnt this in artistic years ago and just searched what I learned couldn’t remember what it’s technically called and found you doing exactly what I’d did brilliant thankyou 🥰

Is twisting your hips helping with the turn
The lower half must go at the same time so if thinking of taking the hips helps you then absolutely do it that way.

The backwards to forwards turns are covered in this one. ua-cam.com/video/xTvnbGEorlM/v-deo.html
@@Skatie Thanks!
I am so frustrated with this :( I can’t break it down
It’s one of the harder moves as it’s the one foot balance. Practicing manuals can really help with balance for this move.
Could you do a 2 footed 3 turn like on inline wizard skating ?
It is possible to turn on the two front trucks or the two heel trucks.
Goodness Katie. I wish you had been teaching me when I started skating. You explained it really well. I’m too old now sadly x
Oh thank you x. 💕🛼
Thanks 😌 you are my favorite 💝 Besos from Florida 💟
💕 thank you xx.
Where can I find those trousers ? 😮
These are ice skating practice tights. They’re super warm too.
This is the skill im desperate to nail down. Thanks Katie.
Fantastic! Have fun xx 💕🛼👍
maybe I just cant find it, where is the link mentioned around 5:23?
Here’s the video. It the first turn I cover at around 0:22. ua-cam.com/video/S8bmHAsTNmw/v-deo.html

Me - who checks the Intermediate Skater box on waiver forms at the rink, still working on pivots, and seeing this is a Beginner skill
👁👄👁
I’d saying the moving part of this skill is definitely more intermediate to advanced. But the static section is much more beginner and helps with balance. Don’t get disheartened, this is definitely not an easy one xx.
You’re an awesome instructor!! In the northeast of the US, three turns are very flourished and called “snapping” colloquially.
Love that. It really describes it!! 👋⭐️💕💕

Hi again Katie, do you happen to have a video on how to spin ? As always GGGreat instruction. Thank you so much.
👋 absolutely!! ua-cam.com/video/d6Z91xZXNxE/v-deo.html
This is great, I've been struggling with this with my leg extended gonna try bringing it in close. Thanks
I find it helps to keep it closer as it doesn’t throw you off balance. Hope you find it helps xx
I want to try this because the pendulum one I cannot keep my balance on lol
I think the pendulum is harder because the leg can throw you off balance. 👍💕
thank you so much, helped a lot
Glad it helped! 😎🤩
thank you very much. your vid is very helpful
Thank you 👍🛼💕
Pls keep making the videos!
Definitely!! We have so much fun filming every week xx. Thank you for the support 👋🛼💕
