Why you are saying that this guy is no good?! First of all, before judging his English, you should have at least some intelligence and don't say: "this guy", because "this guy" has a name, and his name is Mr. Olympiev. Secondly, you can't judge this coach just by looking at these video clips. All these video clips helped my cousin, and helped a lot, even her coach were so surprised. I want to thank you Mr. Olympiev for sharing these lessons with other people, and your English is excellent, you explaining very clear and very professional. Thank you so much!

Three-Turn Exercise in Ice Skating
Hello my name is Dmitri Olympiev and I teach at Pines Ice Arena in Pembroke, Florida. You can reach us on the web at www.www.pinesicearena.com. Now when you’re skating around the ice, it’s very important to learn how to change directions. From forward to backwards and from backwards to forward. For this, we use an element called “Three Turns”. This is how it looks like. When we do a three turn, we turn always on the middle part of the skate. Now for that there is a very good exercise, we’re going to put the arms up, feet together and we’re going to do a moving of the hips. One, two. One, two. One, two. Try to move your arms as less as possible, but do move your hips a lot. One, two. One, two. And now we’re going to do three turn. One, two. One, two. We’ll be right back.
