ok i have a question...now i can ice skate but never tried figure skating. i rollerblade a lot so my balance and edging is pretty good. the thing is on dry land i can do a triple salchow, triple flip, triple toe and triple loop, my triple lutz sometimes comes out but i can t get my axel past a single.(i did a quad at one point but boy i tell you you lose it quick cuz in a matter of days i lost it and never got it back) i can also do a triple salchow triple toe combo, triple flip triple toe, triple toe triple toe and triple loop triple toe combo. i m 6 ft tall and 180 lbs which is why i m surprised i can do these jumps...well it took me a year and a half of jumping everywhere i am to get to my triples. now my question is is it hard to transfer these jumps onto the ice? i mean all my jumps are landed perfectly on one leg and everything but when i tried it on my rollerblades i can only do a single with two footed landings, and is there a different approach to the triple axel cuz as much as i try i can t get past a single. any info would me greatly appreciated. oh and yeah all my friends and family think i m crazy and am gonna break my legs doing it on land one day but i got my triples down pat
