HOW TO DO IT

Nose Spin — Supported Rotation

A family label for rotation with nose-supported butter contact. The initial inventory does not specify one universal entry, direction or amount.

Preparation and setting

Nose Press and small supported pivots.

Execution / application sequence

  1. Select a documented version before assigning its angles.
  2. Establish modest nose support.
  3. Practise a short controlled supported arc.
  4. Recentre and align before edge engagement.
  5. Return to ordinary travel.

Learning and practice

Use shorter arcs and deliberate exits. Continuous turns are a later application, not evidence for every named variant.

Errors and corrections

Rotation driven by dragging the tail: restore clearance. Pressure lost: reduce arc. Endless pivot with no exit: rehearse termination.

Observable checks

Support and intended arc can be identified; no arbitrary degree is added.
