Purpose: Skaters can work on their camel spin by snapping into their hold position before checking out after 1/2 turn. This ensures that they have a good axis and alignment and they can practice feeling the balance of a camel. It is a good safety exercise before skaters try to do a spinner camel spin with many revolutions.
Focus: Spinner safety, spin axis, basic technique, body alignment, camel hold position, balance
