Scratch Spin One of the most basic spins figure skaters do is the forward scratch spin. During that spin, the free foot and free leg crosses over the skating leg.

One Foot Upright Spin The basic forward upright one-foot spin is the first one-foot spin new figure skaters learn.

Sit Spin In a sit spin, the skater bends the skating knee while spinning and sits down during the spin. The free leg points out in front.

Camel Spin A camel spin is a figure skating spin that is done with the same body position as the spiral.

Attitude Spin An attitude spin is an upright ice skating spin where the figure skater spins with the free leg in an attitude position.

Layback Spin In a layback spin, the skater bends backward while spinning. The free leg is held in the attitude position.

Flying Camel In a flying camel, the skater jumps from the forward camel position, changes feet, and spins on the other leg in a back camel.

Bielmann Spin The Bielmann spin is a spin where the skater lifts his or her leg way above the head and grabs the figure skate blade while spinning.

Back Spin A backspin is done on a back outside edge.

Flying Sit Spin The flying sit spin is similar to a sit spin, but the skater first jumps into the air and then lands in the sit spin position and completes a sit spin.

Death Drop A death drop is a figure skating move that is a cross between a jump and a spin but is really considered a flying spin. The skater first jumps up like an Axel and then kicks the take off leg backward. Then, the skater lands in a back sit spin position and does a back sit spin.

Doughnut Spin A Doughnut spin is a varaiation of a camel spin where the skater grabs their skate from behind, the skater's head is pulled toward the free leg's foot so that the skater's head, torso, and free leg form a doughnut shape parallel to the ice.
