hey guys it's Mary welcome back to my channel today we're going to work on
off ice skating woohoo if you want better singles doubles and triples
we got to do these jumps then this video is for you hope you guys are ready
for this i usually have shoes on whenever I'm doing my off ice just to
protect my feet and ankles I have no shoes on today because I'm in the yoga
room so just pretend for our first jump we're gonna warm up with the basics
starting from the first jump we all learn the waltz jump one half revolution in
the air off ice it is a little tricky because we don't have that momentum and
speed we have on the ice so let's start off with a little bit of either walking
or some hops as a rule of thumb off ice we're gonna try to get our jumps up as
high as possible before rotating and the when we land don't just stick the
landing hop out the landing so there's less
impact on the joints in our body
another way to do the waltz jump is with the bell jump
this is a great exercise for the axel just like a waltz jump we will try and get
it up nice and huge in the air if we're just going to click our ankles together
real quick and land just practicing for when we do the axel because for the axel
we gotta get into that jump
now that we've warmed up for the axel let's do this same as the waltz jump
we're going to be running and skipping on a slight lean and curve remember to
take off outside the circle another fun and super tricky off ice axel exercise
is to do it from a lunge and launch ourself in the air
I like this exercise because it forces us to get to our tippy toes from the lunge
to get into the axel just like on the ice we need to make sure we're
accurately hitting the toe pick every time
now let's hop into the salchow salchows are a little tricky to do off the
ice because usually we do it with either an outside three turn or a mohawk
entrance and we have that momentum so up ice we're just gonna pre rotate and hop
around the turn to get the momentum before taking
for our next jump the toe loop on the ice on the toe loop we have a weight transfer
after the 3 turn we do the right-inside 3 turn and then we shift
the weight to the left toe pick off ice it's hard to simulate that without
accidentally doing a toe axel which is when you take off forwards instead of
taking off nice and backwards because remember the axel is the only jump in
figure skating that takes up from a forward edge edge so make sure practicing this on ice
you are taking off backwards we can do this with either a right inside 3 turn
or a left outside 3 turn which I almost prefer because we
have the nice opportunity to do the outside three turn reset on both feet
and then transfer and take off
now for another edge jump the loop jump we are going to jump around if you're a
righty on the right foot just to simulate that edge we're going to bend and then
spring up into the air for the flip jump it's hard to simulate in inside edge
off ice so remember that we're taking off on the inside edge when we are
practicing it off ice same thing as the other jumps take a couple of hops
to simulate the outside 3 turn or if you take off with a mohawk
woohoo the last job is the lutz remember the lutz takes off on an
outside edge so when practicing off ice visualize yourself taking off on a nice
outside back edge we're going to simulate it by going backwards from a lunge position
doing a few hops and popping up nice in the air
