Great! how old is she?

[Sk8er1Star]

She is 9 going into 20!

[happysunnysmile1]

wait a sec... is that the Calalta rink?

[Sk8er1Star]

yes u r right

[iare07]

it's a double salchow. A triple salchow would have two and a half rotations. A double "only" has one and a half.

@Callifornia14

1 and a half is a double salchow if it were 2 or 2 and a half then it would b a triple or overrotsated double

[519sophie]

she did a full double, look online even though it is called a double there is only one and a half rotations

[maelou00]

okay. now i know what i'm doing wrong

[xxxLuvLuv2Sk8xxx]

just a little advice, make sure your foot crosses over completely. it will help you pull in tighter so you can rotate faster. good jump though!

[danilol7]

@iare07 no a double salchow has 2 full rotations and a triple salchow has 3

That wasn't cheated. You people do your double Salchows just like that and don't even realize it! You can't do a Salchow without your left foot touching the ice when you're forward. If that foot wasn't still touching the ice you would never get enough momentum to even to a single. That was a perfect double Sal, okay. Her arms are moving in sync with the leg, she's not pre-rotating either. Why does everyone have to be so critical? Watch pro skaters doing it, they do it the same way.

@estebanz3 yeah shes prerotating it too much

[cornisyummy7]

@lrnfigrsk8r965

ya i guess ur right but i was speaking techinically bcuz i've always been taught to take off forward

[lrnfigrsk8r965]

@cornisyummy7 a double salchow is 2. technically since you sort of take off forward, it could be 1 and a half, but its supposed to be 2.

[cornisyummy7]

that was not cheated! she landed backward on the correct foot and edge and everything!
