How exactly can you train yourself not to be affected?

Like any other sport, it is practice. Although if there is an inner ear affliction, even the professionals can develop difficulty. Case in point: Paul Wiley. He is one of the best spinners in the business but he had a problem & developed vertigo. With sports medicine doctors, physical therapy, and medicine....he overcame it and returned to skating.

Actually Shelley L you are wrong when doing a spin (not rotating footwork that is different) like the ones you are describing: sitspin etc. The skater keeps thier eyes open and stays centered on the "sweet spot" of their blade a figure skater NEVER spots while doing spins! EVER!!! Pretty much, it is just practice. sorry to disappoint, lol Also spinning in a chair is VERY different, and you will get MORE dizzy if you close your eyes and just to let you know trying to spin around on two feet as fast as you can doesn't work either xP even i get dizzy if i spin on a chair... and if i EVER closed my eyes doing spins at my rink i don't think i would open them again at most rinks during practice time there are alot of highly competative skaters (if you are @ a level where you are doing fairly advanced tricks) and closing your eyes while doing any move is a bad idea Also we DO get dizzy sometimes the better you are the less often but i have mastered the basic spins and if i do too many in a combination or go abnormally fast i will get a little dizzy you just hafta snap outa it really quickly so you don't get killed! lol sorry for the long answer hope that cleared things up!

Because you focus your eyes on one spot instead of rotating your eyes while your spinning. I'm not a performer but my friend told me to try it and guess what it works!!!!

They have a focus point and for everytime around they only look at that one thing.

I always wondered that myself. How do they come out of the spin and NOT fall down?

They focus on one particular point.
