Help with axel?

Question

i'm a figure skater, and i'm having trouble landing my axel, any tips? i wear a pair of Jackson Freestyle skates. Thanks!

Answer 1

I had Jacksons and LOVED them.

TIPS:

1. try bell jumps- skate forward jump off of 2 feet do 1 full rotation and land on 2 feet.

2. do waltz jumps ad in the air click your heals

3. waltz jump loop

4: waltz jump back spin

5. perfect your back spin

6. dont be afraid to get hurt

7. go onto toe picks and do half circles on a line alternating steps. this helps to get your feet in the correct postion.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Just think about doing a waltz jup back scratch spin in the air.  Kick your free leg straight throw and follow through with your arms.  Think about going up and over.
