Help Me with my Jumps and spins?

Question

Im a pre-juv figure skater and i have awsome spins and really sucky dbls. On all my doubles i sit down and it is very frustrating. If you guys have any tips on how to make my jumps cleanly landed and nice please help. Also when i do my camel my friend Becca tells me that i pop up and go way to fast in to my spin so if you have any tips on how to make my camel a nice extended spin let me know.

Answer 1

On your camel spin, work on bringing your arm across your chest and then sweeping it out to the side as you enter your spin.

Answer 2

Well before practice it helps to cut down on the fatty foods. Even a little bit of extra weight can throw off your jumps, especially doubles. Eat healthier and you will feel a little lighter and your jumps will get more "spring". When going into your jumps it helps a lot to pull in tight and look up, not at your feet.

On camels, it helps to keep looking at your left hand (straight out to your side) while your right hand sticks to your right side while in spiral position. Also try to slow it down when going into it. As you get better, you can gradually gain more speed.

GOOD LUCK!!
