Does anyone know why or how to fix it!?!?!? Thanks soooooo much :)Www@QuestionHome@Com
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: It's about spotting and your core(stomach) muscles!. You need to think about tensing a tiny bit to hold yourself up and prevent from wobbling!. And obviously you know how to spot!. It's all about balance really!. It takes time to get it perfect so don't be harsh on yourself too much!. Use your abdominal muscles and your head to wip you round!.Www@QuestionHome@Com don't think of trying to get around so much because then you start to spin and you look like a top which looks really awful!. think about grounding yourself more and that should help with the hopping problem!. this may seem contradictory but when you're turning think about going up!. so you want to ground yourself and think up as you're turning!. also think about getting your posse up higher, that always helped me!. and finally, relax before you do a turn cuz otherwise it comes out kinda crappy!. whenever i relaxed, i came out with a triple or quadriple!. if i wound my arms up and tensed up then i ended up spinning and then falling!. so relax, don't wind your arms up, think about going up as you turn, ground yourself, and RELAX!!! good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com OMG you sound just like well heres what you need to do!.!.!. try spotting and getting your supporting leg straight do not concentrate on getting around the power is to spot and spot is EVERYTHING for fouettes keep you balance try going against a barre!.!.!.!.!. just keep your balance spot concetrate clear your mind and soon enough you will accomplishWww@QuestionHome@Com pull up! round your arms! spot! practice! answers like these frustrated me when i asked the same question because i tried but then i sort of gave up when i didn't get it!. you have to keep at it and remember these four things and your turns will be amazing!. i used to only have a bad single and i am now working on a good triple!Www@QuestionHome@Com if you think of pushing your supporting leg into the ground that will help with the hoping!. also keep pushing your knee back and make your head spot quickly for multiple turns!. good luck!!Www@QuestionHome@Com |
