Spins are by far the most varied move in skating.
There are variations on body, arm, and leg position for every spin. These are the basics. A lot of the time, spins are done in combination, which means hitting a position, holding it, and then changing the position. All of the spins except for the layback are commonly done on each foot. This is the term used when a skater switches edges on a lutz jump.
