Tips for getting the timing of an axel?
Question:I've been working on my Axel on and bad since the beginning of this former summer. I'm so close to landing it, but I don't have the timing down relatively right, so I always do rather three-turn out of it. Any tips on how to get the timing down? I also practice it off-ice.
Also, any tips to return with my leg up higher contained by my layback?
Answers:
I don't have any concrete tips on timing the axel. My coach had to nag me for over a year to even try it, as I be chicken. A hot friend of mine finally yelled at me over person so scared, and I land it on my first actual try. Go figure!
As for the layback, forget the "attitude" item. You need to work your leg/hip strength and stamina. These are things you can train off-ice, next to some basic equipment.
Do you hold any ankle weights? If so, put them on your free leg, face a barre, countertop, or doesn`t matter what, lift your leg up at the rear you and hold it. Keep yourself upright as you do this, and your toes pointed out to the side. Hold it as long as you can, consequently do it again, aiming for higher and longer.
When you're getting a fitting height, try it WITHOUT the weights. When you can hold it glorious easily in need the weights, start leaning to the rear as you hold the barre or counter.
If you don't have ankle weights, you can use those thich rubber bands/etc. You know, the category you use for resistance training or physio?
Oh, and it's usually a good conception to work the other leg the same road, even if you don't spin that way. It's never suitable to over-develop one side - balance is key!!
You should practice it from a straight line. lift it slow and consertrate on getting over the right side. i assume yo mean that you don't catch all the course around when you say that you enjoy a little turn out of it. for this i would enunciate that you can't get retiring and pop out too early. hold surrounded by and open you at the rigth moment.
For laybacks... practice attitude spins, holding your leg other turned out. This way you can practice getting a accurate leg and foot postions. Once you achive a goo d position, try leaning hindmost from the hips.
1.Regarding the takeoff--it needs to come from a verbs edge next to no pre-rotation. You have to enter the rear with your hips square to your shoulders. A lot of skaters pre-rotate by pulling their right side around which cause the blade to turn on the ice--you will see a skid mark not here on the ice after the soar. By jumping straight up and rotten of the edge to the toe you should not be sliding. What does your coach right to be heard? Have you seen your dive on video? Those are great ways of getting the feedback right away. 2. You need to gain distance from the ground before you rotate. If you don't enjoy the height afterwards your jump is going to any very small as close to the rime, or you will not have ample height to complete the rotation. On the enterance to the bounce you need to drive the free-leg up and spring past its sell-by date the skating leg to gain height, bring your arms surrounded by cross them in front of you next to your elbows down and tight into your chest. After that it is a matter of shifting the axis from your left side to your right side --or easier put hitting the loop position to finish the submerge.
A good layback have the right leg in an 'attitude' position which is up and away from the body.
I hope this help.
Happy Skating!
This is a little trick that my coaches other tell me. It can be used contained by any jump.
Say the words " I Love to Skate"
I - Is for the fringe going into it
Love- When you step forwards
To- The jump
Skate- (ta da) Landing
That should back it works for me when I'm having trouble beside timing.
For the layback. You don't really need to enjoy your leg up some skaters like Kiira Korpi (you can check her world programs on you tube) own their feet practically one behing the other contained by a layback position. But if you like to enjoy your leg up make sure its losing you and be sure to lift your HIP up more so thean thinking of your leg.
It sounds to me approaching you might be over-rotating...If thats the case, you really have need of a strong check position.
Think of your body as halves. If you jump counterclockwise, you want your gone arm to be in front of you, almost as if its going to cross to the other side of your body, but not relatively. A good path to figure out arm placement is to bring your left wrist to your belly button, and consequently extend straight out. Thats a good strong checked position to revise for getting jumps down. Your right arm should be out to the side.
My timing that I used be...Step - Up - In - Out - but the "I love to skate" works too.
If you are under-rotated, really concentrate on getting up higher and over your center, the spring will be much easier to land and gain timing once it is fully rotated.
In regard to the skid..
You can go ahead and swot up to do the jump short the skid now, but I guarantee that it help with the double. You don't own to do a big skid. I bet you can't tell that Sarah Hughes, Michelle Kwan, and any other big autograph you can think of (other than Sasha Cohen) have a skid. But they all do. Its enormously small. It's not a hugh hockey stop type skid. I found when working on doubles that it actually help you get over your center better. Your right side ends up going straight and your not here side is already turned into the jump. It leaves smaller number rotation to do and it helped hold on to me checked over my center. Instead of kicking straight through, with your legs close together, your free (kicking) leg almost go out to the side (just a little bit) and give you more space, more height, and a better handiness to get over your center.
Check out some of the other soaring level skaters at your rink - I'd bet more than 80% of them hold a skid on their double axels.
Lay backs - I'd work sour the ice mostly for this. Get into a waltz class if your aren't already, and really work on turn out, and splits. For this particular move I'd do alot of lump work. Go to a bar that is to say close to hip height, rest your leg from your knees down to your ankle along the bar and try to quality that attitude position. Then lean back from the hips. It's really merely practice on this. It's muscle control and flexibility. You'll get nearby.

Go to google.com and type ice skaters:imagery. There should be a whole lot of pictures. You can also type surrounded by Sasha Cohen or other skaters names. Good Luck!!
You can walk to Google.com, and click Images Search. And then type what you want, and in that will be pictures. Pick the one you think is best, and later a page will turn up, with the picture up on the top of the page, a moment or two small. If you click on the picture again, it will be to its full size.

Did anyone keep under surveillance the world championship? What happen to Kimmie Meissner?
Question:Hi. I'm a huge figure skating hanger-on but I am not from the USA and didn't get any live coverage of the world numeral skating championships. I newly checked the ISU website for the complete results and congratulations to Miki Ando for winning the ladies' title -- she ditched the quad toe which is a great finding on her part, because it merely worked like once within every 10 tries, and the Japanese ladies have some amazing combos approaching triple axel-triple toe etc. Can anyone comment on Kimmie Meissner's performance? Was she technically scored, contained by your opinion? What a shame she lost her world title and didn't even procure bronze this time.
Answers:
Kimmie was score fairly. She made no principal errors, but the women who placed above her skated exceptionally well, next to a good combination of both artistry and athleticism. Kimmie struggles a bit near her musicality, and with the minor problems she have with a couple of her jump, the competition did her in.
Yu-Na Kim, for example, have the highest scoring women's short program ever. Miki Ando have, I believe, the highest scoring women's freeskate ever. Kimmie herself did powerfully - she actually score her personal best score within the freeskate. It would have taken her far better than even her best ever reading to beat those women on this individual night.
no she wasnt reasonably scored. shes an amazing skater and i basically dont understand.. ya it be an almost clean program.. i guess miki ando have a clean program (i think) and most of the girls didnt.. ya resourcefully thats what i think.
yes, she be faily scored. she come in fourth... fourth afterthe short, which be clean, but inferior the others... in the LP she put her foot down on the first triple lutz and everything else was verbs, but uninspired.
I don't think Kimmie did that scantily on her program. I do think that she could own been score better, but I think that the other skaters in recent times were rather better this time, and she wasn't able to moderately skate a clean satisfactory program to do better than the other three skaters. I think she did topple on two jumps so that's probably what brought her down to not mortal able to cling to the bronze, but hopefully she will be capable of get things together and skate more consistently. I am a big hanger-on of Kimmie, and I hope the best for her and I was also bummed when she wasn't competent to medal.
