Progression of the Double Toe Loop

[LadyStylePrincesss]

No height :( you'll never be competitive with a jump like this

[MandisR17]

You really need to pul your leg in, but other than I'm proud that you got it!

[chowskates]

@MandisR17 thanks, yes, i need a tighter air position ;-)

[chapstickgurl1]

your really good but it doesn't look like your crossing your feet in the air :p

[chowskates]

@chapstickgurl1 thanks, my biggest problem with my doubles is the not-crossing-feet-in-the-air. working on it! ;-)

[marshmellokissesDOTT]

I hav all of my doubles except my double toe and I'm in intermediate.!! Im 11 and I just can't seem to get it.!! And I also have been working in it since I was 8.! :P

[KeshaTechno]

i have my double toe and double sal i am only 10

[songaji1]

@KeshaTechno um so? i have my doule sal and i've only een skating for a year and 2 months

[who1cares]

@KeshaTechno Dont talk down to people little girl.....its much different doing a double rotation when your ten with no breast butt or theighs or weight in general..marai nagasu is a perfect example ...Put it this way...any ten year old can do a double....your not special

[jfluter]

Nice job! This gives me something to look forward to as a beginning skater (ISI Adult Gamma/Delta). The most I can do right now is a Bunny Hop, so I totally can't wait until I start landing my first "real" jumps. Keep up the excellent work, and keep posting videos of your progress. What level are you currently skating at?

[chapstickyo]

awesome double toe loop! it looks efortless :)

[PrttyHndsmePculiar]

My god. You're amazing. You're beautiful to watch.

[kamwrites]

Thank you for showing the benefits of practice, and that practice is needed! This stuff doesn't come on it's own.

[101icesk8er]

Not fair!!! Lol jk jk I hav been working in my double toe for like 2 WHoLE YEARS!!! And I still don't have it!! I have all my other doubles but not this one! Grrrr:-E

[iluvicesk8ing]

Practice not practise :P

[kamwrites]

@iluvicesk8ing practise is an acceptable spelling for those in the UK and other countries.

[iluvicesk8ing]

@kamwrites oh... heh (embarrassed) :*

[kamwrites]

@iluvicesk8ing No need. ;)

[wavingflag4U]

good!

[tweetifulable]

nice!

[bobdornan]

Beautiful, ILOVE YOUR PROGRESSION

[FigureSk8rxx]

just wondering, why would you put a double toe in a competition routine if you knew you couldnt land it?

[yogirl10601060]

@FigureSk8rxx to challenge yourself maybe

[hollywood866]

sorry,

But i dont see a step up in either one of them.

[reinchard4]

nice!! love ur 2x top!!

[figureskate1221]

good job, just try jumping higher

[i29ers]

good job, but try lifting your hip a little more, it will help.

[mizzi101]

GlitteringGirl65 didn't say it was the most difficult double jump.. She said it's a difficult 'JUMP' which it is!

I think double toe is a hard double.. I find 2sal, 2loop and 2flip easier that 2toe! Just because some say it's the easiest. dones't mean it is for everyone!

[skatingstar66]

that wuz good but in the entrance u should bend more

[ebonicana1]

That was really neat. Few videos on YouTube show the actual progression of a jump.  Thanks for sharing!

[FigureSk8rxx]

don't do a split jump before that, it messes up the momentum and it's not consistent enough

[UAJAKE82]

just curious as to why you are doing the split jump into the toe loop. that changes the timing of the jump and can make it harder until you master the basic dtl. it doesn't look like you are over your right rotating hip which is causing the left leg to rotate over that hip. seems like you have progressed though.

[Sk8rlayday]

i just landed my first double-toe 2 days ago!it was only the second time i practice it and now i got it!im not hear to say im better than you but to congratulate you on your progression!

best of luck

-A skater

[xoxoangelxoxo424]

nice...but that..thing you do before it, that just kills man.

yes i know it might help you, but it looks pretty silly.

not being mean, just telling you the truth. but nice double. how long did it take to land ?

[GlitteringGirl65]

Awesome. It's a difficult jump, and you are progessing very quickly. Well done!

[Egbert23]

love your attempt! nice double

[sk8wonderland]

why would u do a double in competition when u dont even have da jump yet?

[mirandasicelife101]

yea all u needed was more hight and a bigger h

[JOWIFI1]

Good video Chow. I remember seeing that great double toe you did in the warm up at Oberstdorf. I just put up one of mine. I can't tell you the issues I've had with this jump over the years, but it seems to be working now.

[jellybeans9999]

omg you're lucky you have yours

i had it, and then i lost it, and then i had it, and now i've lost it AGAIN

[jellybeans9999]

omg you're lucky you have yours

i had it, and then i lost it, and then i had it, and now i've lost it AGAIN

[hepcatintheworld]

Thanks for putting your progression out there. Wow, I can see all the hard work you've done and it has really paid off - well done!

[tinymavy]

yay! nice job.

[npe1]

Well done. Nice to see your progress over a year. I absolutely HATED toe loops with a passion when I was skating seriously & competitively (over 25 years ago now!), it was by far my worst jump. I had an awful double toe loop and found all the other double jumps easier, including double axel!

[valloucelery]

high five! i also HATE double toe's witha passion! ITS MY WORST JUMP!!!!!! i have my double loop and double flip be4 it!

[couchpotato4life]

really double toe is my best jump

[nic95starz]

hey all of u r so lucky!! u get to learn figure skating!!i cant..T_T and great doubles toes there made a great improvement!!

[iidaaberg]

bra, men det skulle nog gå bättre om du kom på en ny ingång. :)

[usmcgirl85]

I love how you show the progression over time, and your jump has definitely improved!

[mentallystable]

AH! I just started landing mine!! ^_^

[r3sfernjbb]

Thanks for showing your progression. It gives me hope for my double toe. I'll keep trying :)

[reinchard4]

congrad of landing 2x toe-loop! ;)

[iv4etoK]

what happened at the competicion :) did you make it as well as you did on the last practice?

[clunkydancer]

Not only are you a beautiful skater, with good flow, speed and technical elements, but I really enjoyed also seeing the progression of this jump. GREAT JOB!

[chowskates]

Thank you!

[chachal090990]

[chowskates]

Thanks :-)

[morgail]
