Ice Skating - How to Perform the Six Basic Jumps

[MlleTimeLord]

all the ones in the middle looked the same :/

[PeepsILoveEllie]

Basic Jumps?

In my opinion, no JUMP on ICE is BASIC.

:O

[gabraliz]

i wonder he's forgot to teach us the waltz jump -_-

[MisslaylasCOOL]

Basic jumps... ?

[micmacgonzalez]

he is literally a god

[maisydaisyx]

they all looked the same to me:S

[thebingbanggirl]

xaxaaxxa seams pretty easy....are u fucking crazy?

[dancexskate]

you missed free/waltz jump:P;)

[izzywizfiz]

This is one of the worst video's i have ever seen! I watched him talk and then the silly voice over said we had 2 look at a silly website to view the rest :@

[500tania]

When the video started I was like.."Ok..Let's see.:)"

When he did the back flip I was like...."Is this a joke?:O...Really?But how..:O"

When he introduced himself and he said all the prizes that he has I was like..."Ok.Now I know why he could do that back flip."

When he said what the jumps are I was like..."I wanna go ice skating and I wanna pray for me not to break my neck.^-^".:))

Amazing...This men is ...:O Awesome!

[derrynator]

interpretation of the demonstration of those jumps from the perspective of someone who has just started ice skating: Salchow - jump and turn; toe loop - jump and turn; loop jump - jump and turn; flip jump - jump and turn; lutz jump - jump and turn; axel jump - jump and turn. That is all.

[xVitaxx]

@derrynator hahaha so true.. i was just watching all six thinking 'huh?' :P

[makeemsmile1]

i wanted basic not pro

[DHM1996]

i am doing figure skating, and i had a little problem withe my lutz jump, but now i can do it really well, so thanks a lot!

[cleicsioluek]

Funny how he did a double salchow and all singles after XD

[xNikishaTaylorx]

he just did a backflip , on ice .

[louielover96]

I had to replay that first jump like 10 times to make sure i wasnt seeing things :L

[daniwhazzup]

My reaction at the backflip at the start of the video

O_________O

I wanna learn that man!!

[14vdul]

I TRIED THIS AND NEXT THING I KNOW IS IM ON MY ASS!

[canulker]

lol..... are these basics? i'm doomed

[cleicsioluek]

@canulker Yes, cuz the "harder" jumps are the double, tirple and quads.

[ShannonSearson]

i know u should be proud of urself and all that but at the beginning it just seems a little bit show off type.. and isnt a waltz jump pree easy jump?

[25elisemarie]

Holy mamacita! 0:03 is like WOW!

[m04252009]

Also, can you post videos of jumps in slow motion - and then again the same jump in extremely slow motion (like a single jump in 3 minutes) - and post your comments - like "Gliding on the left ouside edge, bending the left knee, turning the right foot around, bringing close to the left one, springing the left knee, taking off, bringing hands together, etc". Those small details can be absolutely obvious for you - but not for a person who watches the movie and who just cannot catch in in 1 sec.

[m04252009]

Nice teaching series of videos. Now, can you also put a different clothes - with left side have color different from the right one so that it become immediately clear where your right and where your left sides are? When you turn several times, given the quality of the movies, it is not obvious at all.

[ChewingPencilLines]

I can't see the difference, omg!

[nutritionistEsUK]

Bloody hell. Scare the pants of us before you even begin why don't you.



[sassyqueen321]

@spanishpothead So is your name. Gtfo.

[spanishpothead]

@sassyqueen321 shut up you evil thing

[sassyqueen321]

@spanishpothead Ice skating is an amazing experience, whether you're figure skating, playing hockey, broomball, curling, speed skating, or just skating for fun. :)

[spanishpothead]

@sassyqueen321 iam joking anyway ice skating is kool , but if your a man and you figure skate you have a small penis

[sassyqueen321]

@spanishpothead Not true, but ok

[charlikesfunnystuff]

@spanishpothead

That is so not true. How can you prove to other people that the rumours are true?

[charlikesfunnystuff]

@spanishpothead

Look.

Ice Skating IS NOT Gay. Have you even tried skating before?

[TheGreatLaugher]

I can't even do a back flip on land muc less on ice.

[shinecathy1]

The axel looked a bit delayed...

[heathermad11]

i ice-skate , and i am one of those 15% that jumps the opissite way

[Jojo99987]

does a backflip.."Hi im Michael Wiess" haha no big deal

[deathwings11]

What an entrance!! Haha!! :D

[NessaLoveWoahxP]

OMG. A backflip on ice!?

[prp134]

wow....Im really bad...these all looked the same to me.

[who1cares]

lol wow that was not a basic jump!!

[BSTPTpolly]

bragger in the begging but thanks for showing me how

[Breyerobsessed27]

2 people don't have standard skates. Those people disliked this.

[adrx2]

Holy shit, these are what are considered basic? Haha and the dude starting the video off with a back flip isn't helping. You know what, I'll just stick to rollerblading...

[Freakeh411]

It looks like he floats, as if he stays in the air longer than is physically possible. I love how dancers and skaters can do that, they make it look so easy!

[pinkee0707]

@Freakeh411 It's very easy.(:

[fionatheninja]

LOL.

*does acrobatic flip in the air on ice*

"hi, im michael weiss"

[BubbleGumKristy]

I like to skate!

[BloodyHell379]

holy crap i ddnt even no that was possible!!!!!!

(the flip lol)

[Peacepeytonemma]

Show off. xD

[maoasadarocks]

LOVE YOUUU!!!!!

[ara1996]

it is good video but one of jumps is double i think salchow

[LiLSmiley3331]

i can also do a spiral (leg and hip level) , i can do lunges, i can do Biellman Spin (is that what it's called?) :)

[LiLSmiley3331]

man i wish you were my ice skating teacher, im still learning but my teacher seems to not want me to get higher in the ice skating levels. I do the auzzie skate program and im in Novice 1 (3rd level) but i can do bunny hops, toe taps one foot spins, and thats what people are learning in Freestyle 1-2 (level 6 and 7).And i can do a waltz jump ( new skates, trying to regain my balance). I dont know why my teacher wont let me more up to a hire level

[coolinblue100]

TE ONLLY RESON HE DID IT GOOD CUZ HE A PROFISHANELS I TRYED THAT FLIP AT THE BEGING AND BROKE MY FUCKIN BONES

[lkcullen1918]

@coolinblue100 ..lol im sorry i know i shouldnt be laughing but thats just funny....is just a knee-jerk reaction of mine....like laughing wen sum1 randomly falls =]

[blackonyx2002]

The salchow didn't seem easy for Kristi Yamaguchi.

[xXredshellyXx]

Hahahahahha I LOVE the flip in the beginning. His hair just blows in the wind... I'm sure these jumps are extremely difficult, but they look extremely similar. Haha I love this video.

[Snezhinka9]

OMG the backflip!!!!!

[xxxChannelIcexxx]

leftie skater- that would be me then :D

[twinkleskate]

i love he makes it look so easy

[jinfromhel825]

whoa! he did a backflip! wtf wtf!

that was EPIC!

[2spreeZ]

wow wow

[redindygo]

The backflip was super Awesome!!!! Am not a skater too but I like watching your videos so I can better understand the skating stuff & its game. XD

[xxxMelodyOfDawnxxx]

OMFG! THAT WAS LIKE SCOTT HAMILTON! the backflip in the beginning i mean, that was awesome!

[sqekcx]

the axel strangely resembles the tour jete in ballet

[happyslug]

that is the best explanation i have ever heard... thanks mike

[THElittleEmma]

i love toe loop & flip jumps

[HattieLovesCattie]

How is Mike earning his living now?I do catch him on some the exhibitions on TV lately.I like Mike but he had a lot of fans that didn't.

[robmarpa]

Great tutorials! Would also love if you could post video some of the lesser known jumps like the walley/toe walley, and the basic jumps like the mazurka. They teach that in basic skills, but I don't know what it is supposed to look like!

[dresipent]

I'm a figure skater from Germany and I've only one question:

What kind (brand) of blades do you use ?

They look a little bit special at the end !?

thanks in advance for a quickly answer !

Greetings from Germany ;-)

[phaedracat]

I am not a skater, but I enjoy watching on TV lately. This video has helped me understand what the different jumps are, so I can "be a better fan".

[roseylove28]

cool!

[horseyheathy]

i know, i jump clockwise aswell its not harder, its exactly the same, just head of in a clockwise direction and take off and land on the other foot, its just as easy appart from you may sometimes get, on coming traffic

[lucylikeslollies]

woww did you see that backwards flip? how on earth did he do that? ohh great, Im a clockwise skater - why does it have to be complicated????

[Ouranlover8]

me to, clockwise skater ^^

[ShanChanInJapan]

Johnny Weir jumps clockwise as well ^_^

[soul416]

He jumps COUNTER-CLOCKWISE. Michael Wuss gets everything mixed up. They ALL jump clockwise, hence landing on the right foot, when you counter-clockwise you land on the left. Do you people even know what these words mean or do you just believe any the loser says?

[Jess12787]

@soul416

If he is a U.S. olympian tham I dont think he would get these things mixed up.

[sumimimi0]

@soul416 please get the fact right. people are suppose to jump counter clockwise.. look at yuna, mao, almost all of them does in counter clockwise....

[Tlevittation]

@soul416 if that was the case then on the three jump you would land on your left foot because in nearly all jumps you land on the opposite foot from the one which you take off on meaning if you jump clockwise you will have to push off on the right foot to get the correct outside edge.

[ashsk8s]

@soul416 Counter clockwise rotations land on the right foot. I've been skating for 19 years and coaching for 9. Trust me. ;)

[wlw5360]

Fifth comment. Very Helpful!

[KirstyMarieXD]

[Minority713]

I'll actually make a useful comment:

This helped me so much, like you don't even know.
