Nice axal with the loop do u jump on 1 foot coz my coach is telling me I have to jump off 1 foot and loads of videos have people jumping with 2 feet plz help
i am incredibly jealous of the fact that you have a perfect landing position, you look so smooth and controlled, i wish i had an ounce of your control and air position aswell, keep it up, you're really good!<3
You have a lovely style on the ice, this video was really nice to watch, your upper body is looks really straight and fixed, and I like your smooth knee bend too. The jumps were great also!
@sammywright07 thanks so much! I think I have OCD about trying to look as perfect as I can lol. I appreciate hearing comments like yours, so at least I know the work has paid off :-)
@ThatsJustLardy thank you :-) I think the best thing to do first is to practice rotation off-ice. Have solid double jump rotation doing it from a complete standstill.....no stepping out to jump. Once you have good strength to do that, I think the dbl loop should be easy to do since you need pure muscle energy to get into the air. Lastly, make sure arms are properly in place and relax. If you dont, you'll raise your shoulders too high and it'll result in popping. Hope that helps a bit :)
OMG...I remember going to the 5.00 a.m. sessions at that rink over a decade ago !! Deadly. I was not awake enough to be skating, let alone jumping. I caught a few glimpses of my friend Vicki in the back-ground, as well ! :o) Cool to see her out there!
Any-way, you have really soft knees, so your landings look very fluid and in control. You have beautiful edges; I wasn't afraid watching you practise your jumps be-cause you looked safe going in and coming out of them. Keep up the good work !
nice job ! i figure skate at mariposa ! but that isent an olympic size skatng right... like it's long but at mariposa we have an olympic size one and it's bigger then that i think
@xSUNSHiNEE21 They seem to have. I skated 10 years, quit for 8, and then returned a little over a year ago. I used to do a few triples as well....I'll want to relearn at least one. And yes, everything came pretty quickly and easily for me both when I first learned them and when I came back to the sport last year. I've been pretty lucky, but definitely want to push harder to try more now that I'm comfortable being on the ice again.
@scootie12 I don't sorry, my rink doesn't allow filming :/ I'd like to put them on though. Haha, my jumps are really bad at the moment because I just got new boots and I'm still breaking them in :/
wow! this is really good! i dont know much about figure skating (im more a ballet girl) but i DO know that your skating looks very good in this video! :)
@boynextdoor108 Many thanks! Yeah, the double flip sometimes gets so much air I feel like I should add another rotation, lol. The 2axel has been on the backburner because I want to perfect my current skating. I'm itching to do it though, and I know I can easily do the rotation....it's just a matter of landing it correctly and having more nerve to actually work on it. I know once I consistently work on it, I'll be comfortable doing the jump again.
@scootie12 Meet me at the rink on Saturday morning to surprise and shock my coach when I land a double (especially since my single flip left town 6 years ago!) LOL!! Thanks for offering to share your beautiful jumps!
That's my husband. I am getting ready to test Adult Bronze MITF and Freeskate. I guess I should put a vid of myself up sometime--just need to work up the nerve, ha ha
I've watched your videos for months now and I love each and every one of them. You are an incredible skater--I look to you as a source of inspiration. I want my flips to look like yours!
That's my husband. I am getting ready to test Adult Bronze MITF and Freeskate. I guess I should put a vid of myself up sometime--just need to work up the nerve, ha ha
@drmarieclifford well definitely put up a vid when you have time. It's always nice to see skating videos. Plus, it's always nice to look back on later.
@scootie12 You seem so nice and I appreciate the encouragment.. Okay, I put up the only video I have of myself that I can figure out how to upload. It's just a simple spin --but it took me something nine months and lots of hard work to learn--lol!
this is great. more adult skaters yay! Wish I had your form and technique! Great videos as well. I'll try and upload more of mine as well, when I can get my own video camera that is. Keep on skating!
@tanaramclean LOL good question. It all depends. Sometimes my coach films me because we usually skate early morning, or I have a friend that happens to love skating and sometimes checks out my practices, so luckily it works out for me to get some filming done so I can see what looks good, bad, etc.
woooow great skater do you have any tips for the double loop please.

@scootie12 wow, you are very lucky that skating come so easily to you..it took me two years to get and keep my axel clean and consistent.
and i also know it took ashley wagner (i think) two years for her to land her double axel.
