Hi all!
My coach and I have recently been working on trying to get a backsit spin for a month now and despite the numerous lessons and practice times im no closer to it than when I started [emoji21] ! I can manage to get about half a rotation before falling out of it, and I'm not nearly low enough either.
So far, my coach has taught me to do them from a forward sit - change foot - back sit as she says this is easier than going straight into a backsit.
My forward sit spin is pretty solid and is easily my best spin - in fact my coach says its the best sit shes ever seen from an adult learner [emoji4] (*humble brag*). My backspin isnt perfect, but its solid enough for my waltz-backspin axel drills.
My problem seems to be that i pitch forwards too much and always fall forwards, but when i try sitting further back I fall back lol.
Does anyone have any handy tips or exercises for getting a backsit?
P.s. I'd post a video of it but unfortunately my phone camera is currently broken[emoji19]
