What jump are you working on?

[AdultSkater]

Hello all

As always, I am also bettering the axel jump.

Second, this year I am working the split-flip after my split jump got so big I daydreamed about it and asked my coach to show it to me. I landed three recognizable ones the first day. They are tough! You can not go slowly, and you can not back away from it at all. After the mohawk to backwards, you reach back really far for the pole vault, and take it up-then split-then pull in very quickly to complete the revolution-then check out very strongly to control the landing.

A true UP-SPLIT-IN-OUT feeling....all done quickly and crisply if you hope to make it well.

AS, that sounds very cool! I'm only level 5, still working on side toe hops. Not even ALMOST that interesting.

Someday....

Right now, I'm working on the full flip, the loop, every now and then I'll try a toe-walley, and the full lutz. Actually, the first time I tried a full lutz (today!) I got all the way around and bumped my left toe pick when I landed!:rollin: Sooo close! Well, it was the first try. I kept working on it for about half an hour, but never got it on one foot.

First time posting here!

I'm working on the 2 sal, 2 toe and 2 loop. Have landed the 2 toe, but thats about it.

I'm working on my Triples. Mostly the loop, I now that the toe has no hope because I hate it as a double! My axel is more consistant it's about 75%. Finally 1 and half of fallin is paying off. Sometimes you wonder why you do it to yourself and then someday it judt pops out of no where?? Funny..

That's funny because I hate the lutz, but the salchow is one of my favorite jumps and I always felt that it was the easiest to learn. Then again, I'm only doing singles.
