Quick overview on beginning-intermediate off ice jumps for Figure Skaters. This short video will go over basic off ice jump technique as well as various exercises. Demonstrator: Brynn Roberts. Coach: Stephanie Chace Bass
Because its impressive to watch even off-ice. Goals! I have been skating for a yr. Started at 40. Im just getting ready to start waltz jumps. This an amazing way to practice at the gym on the days I can't get to the rink. Thank you so much! Please make more videos! Like how to practice off ice using a spinner!? Please and thank you!?
Not even a skater but I think this is a great informative video of these exercises, I think the only thing missing is the importance of bouncing out the landing off ice to save your knees.
I will start today 9/2/23 - I'll post my results and how I'm doing (by the way, you can check out my playlist of off ice skating workouts that I'm doing ❤) Sorry for any spelling errors as I'm using the translator, now: Flexibility 2/10, I can't fully lift my leg when doing the 'airplane pose', jump: 2/10 I was practicing my jump spin, and I can spin a full turn and a half balance: 5/10 I think my only strong point of a sedentary child 💀 Strength: 3/10 I did weightlifting before I got into cell phone addiction, but I'll be back with training starting today, I don't want to live like this anymore ❤ Goal: I am currently 13 years old and I started very late but I would really like and dream of participating in championships and being a national/continental champion !! I'm going to do all the workouts in my playlist 3 times and I'll come back to tell you how it was... Day 1- Update:
when i practice axel's off ice i can do only a certain amount before i get very dizzy, after that i always fall and can't practice anymore. Is it normal? btw i am a beginner =)
Yep! Try to figure out how many you can do before you get dizzy, and then do a few less, interspersing with other practice. For example, if you get dizzy after 10, do 5-7, then do something else, then come back and do another 5. This should help you practice more in a session without tiring yourself out!
May I ask a question. When you jump, do you use your arms to pull your up or does your body turn first and then the arms are in the check position and look to the right? Why would we need the arms up? Thanks !
I'm no skater but I am a scientist and pretty sure pulling the arms in increases your rotational speed. The number of rotations you can do would depend on the height of your jump and how fast you are spinning. Checking out of the jump should help you keep your balance.
