What Is The Definition Of Haircutter In Figure Skating?
1. This refers to the figure skating spin in which the skater holds their free blade up to their head, but not above it, and then pulls it in closer to their head while maintaining a layback position. Many times, the skater may tilt their head back towards their skate, as if they are getting a “haircut”.
This is typically performed as a transition between the layback spin and the Biellmann spin.
