How Can I Improve My Triple Axel?

Question

I have almost mastered it, but ot quite.

Answer 1

that's impressive I am 12 and only working on my double axel right now! so you should probralt jump high and put your arms in really tight unti lyou hit the ice and on the takeoff you should probrally swing your fresskate leg high and tight arms remember tight arms!

Answer 2

Im not sure if your serious, because very few women have landed it. And if you had almost, you could probably do all your triples. So then you would have been in some major competitions... So why haven't we heard of you before?

Answer 3

Answer 4

I don't know, why don't you ask Mao.

Answer 5

Make sure that your pre-stage is good. That is, the pre-stage where you do an angular slide, and then do the preparation spins just before you do that axel jump.

So.......in addition to that..........

Make sure you feel that inside or outside edge as you do preparation spins for the jump. If you don't feel it, you won't feel confident on landing on the correct edge and the whole jump will suffer.

And make sure that your tuck inside after the jump is perfect and you are able to very quickly spot the landing after your three very quick spins.

Also....control the speed of the spin.....accelerate on the preparation spins moderately, and acclerate the spins very fully as soon as you takeoff and do the three revolutions,, and then, with strong control, decelerate the spin speed on your landing so you don't, as

Scott Hamilton would say, "overrotate" and fall down, or make a two-footed landing.

Hope this helps.

Answer 6

You can do a triple axel? That's impressive! I am working on my triple lutz (I'm only 12 years old).

If you want to improve your triple axel, you should jump up really high and be as straight as you can in the air and hold your position until you touch the ice. That's my advice.

Answer 7

maybe your air position isnt tight or precise enough. that is my problem on a lot of my jumps (although im not doing triples -well like four a practice tops (just practicing)- but thats the problem with some of the better skates at my rink too) watch videos in slow motion of like miki ando or mao asada's triples and see if there is anything distinct about them that you arent doing. good luck! triple axels are amazingly difficult. happy skating!
