Good rotation position and speed is necessary in order to complete a multi-revolution jump. This video takes you through a different exercises to gain rotation speed and improve position, step-by-step with tips from me. A little like Expert Village, but in more detail.

*DISCLAIMER* I am not a qualified coach of any sort, and all the tips in my videos come from personal experience. Some of the tips in the video may not work for you, and my videos are not a magic formula to make you good at skating. Attempt what you wish at your own risk, but consulting a coach is encouraged. If you really do wish to teach yourself jumps (which I can't complain about really, because it is what I did,) then feel free, but learning them in this order would work best:

Waltz Jump
Salchow
Toe Loop
Loop
Flip
Lutz
I REALLY ENCOURAGE TO CONSULT A COACH BEFORE THE NEXT JUMPS:
Axel
Double Salchow
etc.

If YOU have any tips to give to ME to improve my videos, you are more than welcome to contact me in any way. Also, if you have any other requests, problems or complaints, let me know.

  • Hi Gina i was wondering if you could give me any advice on my triple jumps (not to hard tho coz im 11 years old , i can do all my doubles its just triples , thanks Jack ..

  • Gosh. I don't think I'm the right person to ask. I'm nowhere near being good enough to teach triples!

  • After about a month and a half of struggling, I landed my axel today. :) Thank you, Gina! I used a lot of your tips here at home and improved a whole lot.

    The "rotation position" helped me dramatically. It was like, I was a whole new person... errr, skater. Haha. :)

  • Congratulations! I'm so glad I helped. Comments like that make me smile. :)
