Figure-skating spin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The upright spin is a standing forward or backward spin on one leg with the free foot next to the skating foot, the side of the toe touching the calf of the skating leg. A camel spin is a spin on one leg with the free leg and upper body extended and parallel to the ice, arm extended upward. The layback spin is an upright spin, usually performed by women, in which the arms are put in a circle in front of the body and the back arched so that the skater may look to the ceiling; the spin is accelerated by drawing in the arms. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Figure_skating_spin   (342 words)
