That was great! I've been casually working on doing double salchow double toeloop combination, but its not the best, I've only landed it a few times. It's weird- my double toe is more consistent than my double loop, but if I do a double loop as the second jump in combo with a double, I land it more often than if I do a double toe... Do you have a similar problem?

@julianaqtpi That is kind of weird because the double loop is harder than the double toe! But maybe it's because your body is already in the right position for a double loop after doing the first double, or because you are kind of already rotating, or maybe because you are not thinking about it, just doing it. I actually find a double flip to be easier than a double lutz when it should be the other way around. I'm in juvenile now and am working on triple salchows. Keep working and it will come.

@PillowMetal Oh, and thanks! You're landing double axels now too? Good luck with your triple salchow!

@PillowMetal Yeah, I know! I've been watching a bunch of videos of me skating over the past few days because I just got home from a competition and my dad videotaped all of my events, so I realized that I only start to check out of the jump once I land, so I'm still in the h position when I land, (does your coach use that term? h position?) so it's the same position to take off for the double loop, versus having to check out of the jump and then tap my toe for the double toe.
