Does it make a difference which foot you push off😮?
@akcstyle14 күн бұрын
Which foot depends on if you're a "righty" spinner or a "lefty" spinner. The best way to tell is by having someone call your name as your back is turned. Whichever way you turn your head first, indicates if you'll be a "righty" or "lefty" skater.

Thank you. I really enjoyed your insight and it made total sense. I’m taking the ice after 25 years at the age of 50 and the fear of falling is tremendous. I fell twice 2 weeks ago and bruised my tailbone and I am still recovering. I learned I don’t “bounce” like I used to. LOL.
@akcstyle2 ай бұрын
Congrats for getting back on the ice again 🤩 That's not easy & even more difficult after having an injury. Those falls that used to feel like nothing when we were teenagers, leave quite the impact as we age. Wishing you all best in your recovery!

The loop looks SO good so does your salchow your edge jumps and just fantastic, they look effortless (although im sure you put tons of work into them)

Thank you so much! 🤗 The Loop jump has always been my favorite & the Salchow was the first single jump I could execute as a kid.

Suggestions: on Forward stroking: try keeping your arms steady (pretend you've got weights on them), plus bend your skating leg while pushing off from your free leg, turn that free leg out. You're kicking your free leg back when stroking forwards. Forward Cross Rolls: Bend your knees a little more (literally sink into your boots) and really swing your free leg out. Good speed and positioning on your spins otherwise.
@akcstyle5 ай бұрын
I love Cross Rolls- 😄 forward & backwards-- for warm ups! So good for getting a quality knee bend on your take offs & landings for jumps.

Gorgeous flow and soft knees! My favorite part is “and the tigers come at night, with their voices soft as thunder” where you timed your back spin just before “and they tear your dreams apart” when you exit the back spin and your arms open to stop the rotation as if you’re tearing the dreams apart. Just lovely!

You need to do your cross rolls and really hold your edges more. You only hold your edges for a few seconds, hold them for longer to really feel the edge. Your single jumps are nice and smooth, good speed as well. I'm sure you could do an axel. You know you can do it, just let yourself go through with it. I'm an adult skater and half the problem is the confidence and letting your head know that you can do the jumps. If you've done them before, like me, it's getting your brain to tell you that you can do them. It's very hard, but just try it. Do an axel next time you go. Be positive and do one. You'll surprise yourself 😊😊
@akcstyle7 ай бұрын
As a long time skater & coach I can agree that getting over those mental blocks is one of the hardest things for figure skaters at any level. 80% mindset, 20% physical 👍🏾
