watching this I realized how important it actually is to fall in figure skating. I haven't fallen during skating in 2 years and I'm actually scared of falling. that's the reason I'm afraid to put my full energy when I'm practising, and that's why I don't learn..
Nelli Martikainen don’t be afraid to fall! No one can progress without having hard times. The first time I was skating after 4 months made me scared too but I ended up overcoming that fear and it ended up being amazing! You can do it!
Very nice progression. A small tip coming from someone who struggled with the Alex jump. Make sure to take off and get some air time before to start to rotate. In your axel jump you are trying to rotate too soon. When you take off, take that time to throw your leg up to get that air time. Once you've got a good height that is were you snap into the rotating position. Give it a shot if you are still working on the double axel. Nice video and thank you for sharing.
Hi, nice determination! I would say (it’s quite obvious or I wouldn’t say it) that you aren’t getting full take off from your jumping leg and that is why you’re not quite making all the way around! It got better throughout the video but definitely try to fully extend that jumping leg on the takeoff and you’ll get that extra bit you need!
Quite right. Also the entry is too curvy. The take off should be forward, for that you need not to acelerate so much your right shoulder. Its a waltz jump folowed by a double loop. Its not a forward salchow
You need to step up with the free leg and then pull in fast because you are too close to the ground. You need the height in order to be able to complete the rotation and land. Until you get that you will be under-rotated or keep falling.
This is so inspiring. 2 years and still an inconsistent 2S (definitely a mental thing), and watching this reminds me of my greatest fear, not exactly plopping on the ice but the uncontrollable landing on a right inside edge, no matter forwards or backwards.... Your progression makes me want to be more determined and persevering! Thanks for sharing!
Aww thank you so much for the comment! I can totally relate! Mental blocks are super tough, and learning to fall should be its own class! I really hope you are doing well with your 2sal! You’ve got this! 🙌❤️✨
amazing. I had to stop skating for about a year cause covid. Now I'm back. I came back in mid June. I have a friend one year younger than me and yet she can already land the 2A. Im trying my best to land it and put it in my program. Im about needing 1/4 more rotion to make it clean.
I had all my doubles (except double axel) by age 12 so I started working on my double axel, I finally landed a clean on after working on it for THREE YEARS lol
I just started my double axel today, I fell after I rotated revolutions , I twisted my ankle badly. I am really proud of your braveness and hard work! Keep going!!!!
And then there I'm trying to jump my single axel for almost 5 years 😭✋🏻 To be fair i have 2-3 hours on ice week (now the rink is closed) and a lot of bad habits from my old trainer 🤷🏻♀️
Did u get dizzy when u do this jump? I tried to do it(off ice) and now i get extremely nauseous when i think about figure skating (even when watching and writing this)
@@renaoriflamme996 you get used to it the more you do it, if you practice lots of backscratch spins it could help getting used to spinning fast in the air position
I can NOT jump axels at all, not even the single one. I jump off-ice double toe and loop (not in the last 2 moths due to strain) and double flip about 6-8 months ago. My axel is so terrible, I have just given up.
Is it normal that i just started skating ive done for about 3-4 days and on the second day he taught how to skate on one foot and i couldt do it very i mean i could but hardly is it normal that i still cant skate on one foot i do about 1 hour a day
hi! how long have you been ice skating? im 13 and im going to start skating this september. i know the basics, so how long would it take for me to do the double axel? can i still attend big competitions?
Ive been skating since i was 5. I had to stop skating for a year cause covid and now all my doubles not counting my 2A are always clean and I barely fall. Now I just turned 12 yet I'm still trying my best to land my 2A. I'm sooooo close. You might have had a late start but if you try ur best, you may be able to get your jumps and spins well sooner than me. :)
Four points should be straight enough for not bend your shoulder (hips and shoulder tight) and a little more elevation to complete the final half rotation forward jumps are more difficult than toe picked jumps by the way i was a Roller Skater
@@HaleyWest I suggest you disable all comments if you don’t want to hear/see any. It’s kind of “understood” that anyone who posts on RU-vid should expect commentary. That’s how it works! You post. People comment. You can’t post and then tell people to hush up. That’s bizarre.
@@Person-mh6xq hi there! Thank you for the response! I enjoy seeing comments on my video, that’s why you will find that you were able to comment! Because I chose not to disable comments. I understand that by putting my video on the internet that people feel the need to make comments. But that doesn’t excuse rude comments. I don’t see how asking people to keep rude remarks to themselves is bizzare, but go off ❤️ thanks again for trying to explain, but I understand perfectly well ✨🙌❤️
You're getting there, but jump higher rather than round into the circle. If you try to jump a bit higher, you'll have more time to pull in and get more rotation.
jump. Yes this is constructive criticism Haley , so please take it that way. If you don't like constructive criticism, then maybe you should not post on RU-vid.
Actually, its clear, how you enter is all about. You could try to correct your standing position(you are always to much front with the upper body) , dont wait your speed go down to jump Jump higher (the height you had is for single jump) and What you are doing with the hands ? Think about flying, you have to open them and close them when you start leaving the ground. Its better someone thinks before trying 100 times and destroy your body.
The entrance ist much to round And please JUMP First then rotate!! U do it opposite!! Please Close your Arms and legs!! And i really miss your body strenght!!! With your less of body strenght U will ever have big trouble with rotations and clean landings!!
I personally think you should have worked to jump higher. then it should've taken faster to get a double. I see that you have speed but the height at the start wasn't quit enough.
You wrote I didn’t get it sooner because I wasn’t jumping high enough. Im sorry if my comment came across as rude, but so did yours. I get lots of unsolicited advice, and your comment read like you were telling me what I did wrong.
