master this and you'll be doing doubles in no time
hey guys I'm Mary welcome back to my channel today we're gonna master the
salchow jump hope you guys are ready for this one for the salchow jump is
really important to remember to check the three turn see how my
my knees are nice and soft that's going to give me the power I need for my
salchow jump after we do the three turn we're going to be on a nice back inside
edge at this point we're gonna bend the knee we're gonna press press press we're
pivoting our goal is to jump outside the circle
so if you notice my left foot is following the red circle the right foot
I'm jumping outside of this circle the Salchow jump is very simple just like
the waltz jump so if you have a good waltz jump you can definitely do
the salchow jump remember nice back inside edge Bend Bend Bend these arms are going to bend and go through
the back leg the free you are going to pivot pivot pivot see how my knee goes up nice in the air I like to call this my H position
when you're jumping when you come through in the axel in the salchow
you're like this the higher you get this knee think about it being perpendicular to
the ice you're going to get some nice big jump try to hit that toe pick I'm gonna
forget about my H positions you can see how teeny-tiny this jump can get if you
forget to take off I did land a jump it was teeny tiny because a) I think why you
hit that toe pick on my left leg and b) I didn't quite get that free like always
so here is an example of me really concentrating on getting up in the air
before thinking about rotating
in Figure Skating we always want to remember to show off our landing so
remember to land I'm slightly beneath the shoulders smile
hold that free leg notice my landings not like this ugly my foot is turned out
roughly in the 45 degree angle right legs nice and best we're gonna show off
and try and hold our landing for at least three seconds the other entrance
to do a salchow is with a mohawk the Mohawk is nice because it forces you to check
especially for those who have trouble checking and end up spinning around
their circle
