great video ; but i would have liked more emphasise about how the edge of the hook deepens before the jump . I'm looking forward for the next videos :)
I do agree I could have explained that a bit more. I apologize for that. When you are doing the edge going into the jump, it is all about having control in order for the hook to happen. So having your core engaged, free leg and arms, body checked is key for getting that hook. When you are bringing the free leg through to go into the jump during the hook, its all about making sure your feet go parallel with each other as you are bringing the leg through. So during the hook, your free leg hits 3 positions: 1st your free leg is back and checked, then 2nd your leg comes around and foot becomes parallel with the skating foot (this is what helps that edge "hook" going into the jump), then 3rd your leg goes through to kick up into the jump (by this time your hook has been completed). The free leg movement is what helps you feel that hook. You just want to make sure as you are going though the hook that your core and arms are checked so you do have control over your body. With that free leg movement and that knee bend from the skating leg, your edge should hook around easier. To really work that hook it would be helpful to do a walk through for the salchow. You can see the walk through and how the feet become parallel in the entry edge in my double sal exercise video th-cam.com/video/d3rnRwe_paw/w-d-xo.html You will notice before the skater kicks through, she hits that parallel position and that's when she gets that edge to really "hook" around. Sorry for missing that detail in the video!
Would you do me a favor? Please watch Peppermint Patty's skating in the competition in "She's a Good Skate, Charlie Brown", and tell me how you think she did.
I've been trying to learn this jump forever, but your explanation/breakdown is the first time I understand what's going on!!
Thank you so much for this breakdown. I've been struggling with the jump, and this was so helpful.
The visuals really help to get a concrete understanding of the different steps. Thank you 👍👍
Thanks it was very helpful for me.
You are so good explaining
Thank you so much! Especially for the 3 different entries!! ⛸️👍🏼✨
Thank you for breaking down the entries! The slo-mo was super helpful too. Happy Holidays!
Happy Holidays to you too!
I’ve just started working on the Salchow. Thank you for the video! Very helpful.
Hope it helps!
I'm going to try this at open skate today omg
Thank You! Happy Holiday to you. ❄️ 🎼 🎄 ⛸

@@ShellySkates thanks a million!!! Thats really helpfull! Thanks a lot really!
Can you make a similiar video about Axel? Not just excercises, but also a theory
Yes I love that idea!!!
i try to do it slowly by counting but I still manage to check too soon on LFO3 - how can I stop that to focus on the actual jump?
Hey :) does the rocker of the right leg (free leg) has to touch the ground before jumping?
It doesn’t have to, it can touch the ice as it comes around but just make sure body weight isn’t on that free leg
