Hello Hello Karl,

....without getting into all the physics of it, the speed of a spin
involves 'conservation of angular momemtum'. You don't necessisarily
need a lot of speed going into a spin either, though there is much
more friction to slow down spins on inlines versus ice skates. The
main objective in getting a good spin is to convert your forward
motion to rotational motion. This will not happen, unless you get
your 'free leg' in front of your skating leg. Many beginners are
reluctant to "go for it", hanging on to the security of an easy safe
step out, to their free foot. Try setting up for a 'sit spin'...
even if you only get down half of the way, (shorter distance to
fall..LOL) and concentrate on swinging your free leg ALL the way to
the front, even to where your free foot crosses your skating foot.
Dont forget the other basics... especially looking into the turn,
get your head turned to where you can almost see your free foot
behind you just before you swing it around to the front.

I hope this helps!

Happy Skating : )
