Unique or uncommon spins?

[eeee]

I really love the sit spin variation where it's kind of a corkscrew sit

 

[Mathman]

^ Can you link a video to an example?

Tim Dolensky's headless spin!

Other than that, I had never seen before, this spin inaugurated by Yuzuru Hanyu in One's Summer's Day (from GIFT at Tokyo Dome), which I called the "Dragon Spin" because in this program, Yuzuru Hanyu is Haku from Spirited Away, there in its dragon shape:

(As Yuzuru Hanyu has just said that he was ashamed of how he skated at this Stars on Ice tour, and as I'm a bad fan, I chose the video dubbed "Naughty Tendril" because a part of his costume "misbehaved"; but also, it's the one where this position is just suggested after the camel, the free leg gets "folded".)

^^ those are nice spins but they are common I would think.

I think the OP is talking about this spin :

Caroline Zhang's signature Pearl Spin.

The "broken leg" spin? Where the bent free leg goes out to the side instead of straight ahead and the upper body has to bend to the side to counterbalance instead of forward (well, I have to do that anyway)?

Caroline Zhang's signature Pearl Spin.

Such a beautiful spin! Has anyone else done it since Caroline?

Mirai Nagasu was doing them when she was competing 2014-retirement.

Jason Brown's catchfoot layback is my personal favorite spin. Maybe not totally unusual, but it is unusual in the Men's discipline.

 

[TT_Fin]

Was it Satoko Miyahara who did two foot spin? I think it is not very usual.

Timothy Dolensky's headless scratch spin. I loved it This is from a show, but sadly good videos of Tim in completion seem unavailable.

(ETA: You can watch if you click on "Watch on YouTube)



Watching the show video reminds me that Tim had a great backflip as well, which of course he could not do in comps back then,

Every spin performed by Swiss skater Lucinda Ruh!

Her incredible spinning throughout the 1990s was something to behold! In April 2003 she became the World Guinness record holder for the longest spin on ice, achieving 115 rotations (most continuous, one-footed, upright revolutions).
(she later admitted that years of undetected concussions as a result of intensive spinning caused her daily dizziness and memory loss).

Dick Button was a big fan of her spins:

So, she did a longer spin than this one (which has foot changes)?
I have seen the "sub-program" (Truth, on Chopin's Étude op.25 n°12 dubbed "Ocean" from Echoes of Life part dubbed "Piano Medley") alone on several Tweets but I just can't find them right now; the only separate ones I found (with two different angles) were on another site, which is prohibited here for very understandable reasons, so I don't post the links. And TikTok, where it can also be found, has become a mess, at least in European Union.
Here, it starts at about 40:30, it's a 58-second Spin:
(Redacted.)

Edit: thanks to the kind soul who sent me one of these Tweets with the sub-program/Spin alone:

I did not find two foot spin from Satoko, But Lara Naki has made one, not whole spin, but a part of it, and the whole spin was unique, imo. Instead I found Satoko's cahnge direction spin.

This links were from another site and Ig, can those be posted or can everybody see them?

The spin is at the very end of the video, starting around 3:50.

Thanks.

I tried to do the "copy from a certain time" on the share button. Another technical fail.

I thought that maybe we could watch the reference in Men spins...

As for women spins, Julia Lipnitskaya had some truly incredible ones while a tad closer in time are Mone Chiba's unforgettable layback spins, probably the best out there on the competitive ice right now
