Why is the Axel so unstable?

I landed my axel off ice clean everytime I tried it yesterday, same for the double toe. Today I'm falling out of all of my jumps. Does this happen to everyone? are some days just not jump days? I didn't warm up and just went into it today so that may be partially my fault.

Just one of those days. Happens to everyone. I know it's easy to say "just put it behind you and forget about it" but that's really all you can do. (Although if you're falling on your landings because you're consistently skidding, you might want to take a look along the blade. I had a day like that a few months ago and discovered I'd knocked a tiny chip out of the right blade, probably when I'd accidentally kicked the boards doing something else.)

Enjoy New Year's Eve, just make sure if you're partying that you're well rested again before your next skating session 🥳
