Clockwise/ Counterclockwise jumping
I've been reading on a few message boards about jumps, the difference between good/bad technique, etc. and I came across a couple of comments about how Todd Eldredge and Sarah Hughes jump clockwise. A couple of questions popped into my head about this:
-How do you know if you're a clockwise/ counterclockwise jumper? Is it a trial and error type of thing?
-Is there a correlation between clockwise jumping and consistancy? Sarah and Todd seem like two of the most consistant jumpers out there.
( I'm discounting the times Todd missed the quad and that nasty spill he had at the Sears Canadian Open. I'm also discounting Sarah's bad jumping technique)
