So yeah, it's been a long time since I posted again in this forums since I'm a beginner adult skater. So far still having fun however I need help on these jumps:
Note: I am a clockwise (CW) skater. I always had a hint that i am a clockwise skater but it was not up until i started waltz jumps that i really had concluded it.
On Toe Loops
I know that jumps have multiple ways of entering into them and entering toe loops is usually through inside three turn. Sadly my inside 3s are not yet that good and i still need to practice. My fellow skater told me i can do a mohawk then change foot to an outside edge before toeing in with the other foot. I can do that just fine but when I start using the toe pick my body goes all confused and does not know what to do. How do you vault yourself up? do you hit your toe pick with so much pressure to vault up? i keep hitting the ice with it but i cant feel any momentum / power to vault me up. I hope that make sense. Help pls... how do you really use that pick to vault you up?
On Salchows
"Three turn then jump" or "It's a three turn and a waltz"
That is what i hear from my fellow skaters and my coach. I've even checked online tutorial videos to get the jump. I can do the three turn then swing my free leg around me, i just cant find that sweet timing where I would need to jump. So far all i can do with this jump is 3 turn then swing free leg around then stop... help!!
