sit spin
The sit spin is one of the three basic figure skating spin positions. It is defined by a squatting position in which the skater's buttocks are below the knee of the skating leg.
History
The sit spin was first performed by Jackson Haines and it is sometimes known as the Jackson Haines spin.[ ]
The flying sit spin was first performed by skaters coached by Gustav Lussi, possibly Buddy Vaughn and Bill Grimditch.
Variations
There are many variations on the basic sit spin.
 A broken leg sit spin is a sit spin position with the free leg bent inwards at the knee.
A pancake spin is a difficulty variation on a sit spin
A cannonball spin is a difficulty variation similar to the pancake in which the free skate touches the thigh of the skating leg and arms are held down and touching the skating leg, giving the illusion of a cannonball.
