Figure Skating Practice: 01-07-12 (axel/double loop combination, Michael Rubke)

Just working on getting back into decent skating shape. I still need to fix the landing on the double loop, but I'll take it.

Once again, another winner.  I wish my sessions were as empty as yours. Thanks for sharing this video.

@PecanSandees23 Thanks a million. I did some really good ones today. This rink is small, so I def need smaller sessions :)

your jumps are still gorgeous :) did you take time away from skating?

@iamfigureskater14 Thanks! I didn't take any time away, but am just getting more serious since I'm competing soon enough.

Hey Michael,

I've been watching most of your videos and I must say you have a fine double loop. But I see you struggling a little with your axle loop jump combination. I think what your doing wrong is that when you land your axle and are entering your loop, you go on an inside edge. If you start on an inside edge you'll land on an inside edge, and that's what's making you fall. I Think you should practice backwards outside edges to get a feel for the takeoff (; good luck!
