Back Spin Envy
I met this guy Michael Rubke at Adult Nationals in Scottsdale Arizona this April. He skated great and gave me some advice on the backspin. Coaching is very important, but if you don't have somebody to emulate or watch it's hard for me to learn new things. Once I see it done many times i will know when it feels right on the ice. As a child I could not afford very many lessons so much of what I learned came from watching others.

Of course, you'd only keep your weight over your right side if you're a righty skater. We lefty skaters would keep our weight to the left. Great posting!
