Shelly - this video really helped me understand the weight transfer and the “step over” My on ice waltz loop jump took a quantum leap after applying your tips- what an amazing change I felt! Thank you so much! 💕 You are a very gifted coach & communicator.

Should you have a axle off ice before working on it on ice?
@ShellySkates4 жыл бұрын
Hooked on Haflingers hi! You do not need an axel off ice before working on it off ice. Usually what you do off ice is similar to what we do on ice. So if you can work it off and on that would be beneficial so you can transition the office on to the ice!

If you want to help your body to land your axel more easy, you have to do off ice workout, actually it helps me reeeeally well. Good luck❤️

Hooked on Haflingers definitely quicker to get it on the ice if you get it off ice first

Yes this is a good start to get working on your axel! Doing the exercises will help your muscle memory learn the axel. When it comes to axel it is all about practice so you can maintain your progress

Hey do u hv any advice on how to get a full rotation from a bell jump...lately I hv been struggling wit it so i would really appreciate it if u could help Btw I really love ur vid...it's helping me alot.. thnx
@ShellySkates2 жыл бұрын
The quickness from the lift of the jump and the snap into rotation is key! Lock those knees and straighten your legs on the lift so you get max height. Stretch your body from head to toe and squeeze the legs and arms into you. You will get it!

Thank you for the two videos, very insightful! My only question is, are there any in-between exercises to go from just doing the waltz jump off ice to doing a full axel off ice? 0.5 rotations to 1.5 rotations is kind of a huge step!
@ShellySkates4 жыл бұрын
Yes doing the waltz jump backscratch exercise! That way you can slowly get more rotation but get your body to feel the rotation continuing. I’ve had students accidentally do an axel by doing the waltz jump backscratch exercise!
@natsskates4 жыл бұрын
@@ShellySkates would you recommend doing a bell jump (1 rotation) off ice as another exercise, prior to going for 1.5?

@@ShellySkates so would it be similar to the first exercise you do (where you step up with the right knee and then do 0.5 rotations and land with your feet together), except doing one rotation, and focusing on transfer of weight to the right side?

Hi I want to ask: I recently noticed that my right leg is a tiny bit longer then my left. That explains why I have problems with ballet and figure skating. I'm learning to live with it as best as I can. I normally feel better doing my Axel like you showed (to the right) but no matter what I do, I can't keep my balance because of my body. I'm trying to learn it on the left side since I have no problems with balance. My question: Should I learn doing everything on the left side or keep practicing the right?
@ShellySkates5 жыл бұрын
If you are better naturally rotating as a righty I would stay righty. I believe that if you have that strength in the left leg to push yourself up into the lift for they jump, you should be ok. You just might have to have certain tweaks in technique here and there for your elements to account for the balance issue you are having. Every skater is different and that's what makes doing these elements so tricky is that everyone has something different that works for them. At what point are you feeling the issues with the balance on your axel? Is it on the take off or is it more with the air position or landing? Also, when you are doing it on the left, what things are you having issues with?
@lizipearlvlogs5 жыл бұрын
I suggest going to a chiropractor. Typically, pinched nerves or unaligned spines can cause one leg to be longer than the other. I have the same problem, but when I go to my chiropractor (I have to go every so often since I've had this problem for years) he's able to fix it so that my legs are even. Good luck!

What part are you struggling with the most? Just remember this axel is a complicated jump and it does take time!
