I have my fool question: There was or there is some skater capable of jump clockwise and anticlockwise?
Jason Brown's choreographer, Rohene Ward, is known for this.

Yup, and according to interviews he's done he is apparently capable of doing a Lutz Lutz combination where he jumps off of the outside edge of the first jumps landing edge (so it's two jumps in combination with opposite rotational directions!!) . Really want to see that executed!! HahaJason Brown's choreographer, Rohene Ward, is known for this.

I saw that Wakaba Higuchi can spin in both directions (but only jumps counterclockwise).
I didn't know that Wakaba could spin in both directions. Is there a video of it?
Satoko Miyahara can spin in both directions because she used to be a clockwise jumper when she began skating in the US. They "fixed" it when she came back to Japan because the rinks are too crowded to be jumping in the opposite direction to other skaters and can lead to accidents.
Takahiko Kozuka could jump the axel in both directions as a novice skater.

Satoko's final combination spin is currently spun in both directions, she switches after the second position, I love it
I have a question! ...hopefully not stupid.
Is ballet helpful for skating?
Okay, of course it is, I know. It helps with lines, turnout, toe-pointing, etc. I know. But I read over-turnout actually hinders certain elements like camel spins or jumps.
Toe pointing is pretty, but I don't see it helps jumps. Maybe I'm wrong but I think ballerinas do more of split jumps than rotating jumps like skaters. (I know ballerinos do.)
So I guess my real question is, is ballet helpful for figure skating jumps especially for ladies?
Are there other sports that would benefit jumps? How about martial arts?
