fantastic !!!!!! could u make a video where u explain in detail the "hook" to take off of when u do a salchow jump and a loop jump please? there are almost nothing on line about it , thanks in advance!!
Shelley, any tips on how to hit the toe pick on the waltz jump....my jumps (including the salchow and toe loop) are teeny tiny as I’m afraid when I’m swinging my free leg through, I’m somehow going to slip on my skating leg. My coach is just starting the loop jump and I really want to be able to master that one, as for some reason I love the look of that jump. 🙂⛸⛸
I love loop! When it comes to the lift off the toe pick for the waltz jump, I like to really focus on the knee bend of my take off leg when stepping into the jump. If you have good knee bend, you will be able to push through that toe pick with more power. If knee bend is minimal, it will be hard to muster up the power to push through the toe pick.
Thanks! I was working on that music! 😂 it’s so weird because when I’m editing, it sometimes doesn’t sound like it’s there but then when it’s downloaded it’s blasting. So I’m just going to go with the thinking I’d rather have it barely there than over taking the instruction lol
Super helpful!
Glad you like it!!!
