The Skating Circle

There are more spin feature options in IJS than most skaters ever realize — and knowing what's out there is the first step to practicing them, then using them strategically. The Spins Library is designed for skaters who have their foundational spin positions — scratch, camel, sit, and/or layback — and are ready to explore what comes next. With 56+ of the most common spin features (over 11 pages) organized by basic spin position, you and your coach have a clear, structured reference to build from. Set goals, fill out categories, and track what's competition ready so you're always making intentional progress toward stronger spin scores. Follow @theskatingcircle on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook for intro videos to support your spin feature development with your library.
