Hi, highlights of yesterday's training. I hate landings. Rotation, no problem.
Thanks to my coach who showed so much effort to make me control my arms during the axel. Thats exactly my biggest handicap but I am determined to get over it. Layback spin has surprised me, it seems I can find my balance point more easily so I lean back more. I enjoyed my training yesterday. Kind comments are welcome, thanks for watching. I'm 28, skating since 2004, seriously since 2006. This time the music is not by me, Mylene Farmer

  • this is amazing!! : )

    could you give me tips for off ice training for jumps? I just started skating a year and a half ago and only skate about twice a week so I would love to know how to improve at home! And your off ice (and on ice) jumps look awesome!!

  • thank you so much. I would recommend doing regular conditioning exercises and getting used to rotation exercises little by little like : first try to rotate 1/2 revolution and increasethe rotation 1/4 by 1/4 till you lose the control. The key point is not rotating no matter what by rotating as much as you can without losing the balance and control. It can improve in time. I hope this helps... :)

  • You are leaning backwards nothing should move your dropping your right shoulder you need to be a pin NOTHING MOVES! but good job keep going for it!

  • thank you, i'll keep that in mind. it's hard to achieve the perfect pin position but it comes only with practice, doesn't it? :)

  • Great!!!

  • :);)

  • First of all, u need to jump higher (axel) And secondly, you have to keep your arms and legs close, tight to ur body. And straighten your body, ur leaning forward too much.

    And be confident ! :)

  • can u make more vids for beginners and ive only been skating 2 months and i really need to improve so plz help me!

  • More speed would help your axels. For the layback, practice backbends. Us a wall to climb your hands down into a bridge, it takes practice but it really helps. Hence, why my laybacks are my signature move. Keep up the great work! You inspire me to work harder. :]

  • omfg your rotation speed is super fast

    on your axel you jumping into the circle of travel,so you rotation position is underslung and you land on the back of the blade or landing opposing the initial motion
