I always wanted to figure skate, but where i live there is no rinks, but im not going to give up, its my first time doing these type of exercices, and i surprinsingly made it!! Im so proud of myself 😁
After quarantine started I decided that when it ends, I will jump a full rotated Axel on the ice, to show my coaches that "yes I really want to go to competitions". So thank you so much for uploading this video! It help me a lot!!
Thank you SERIOUSLY SO MUCH for trying to avoid 'left/right' designations! I can reverse your video with an app so that I see you jump 'lefty', but I have a hard time listening when tutorials state 'left/right' while I'm reversed. It seems like a small thing, but it really makes a big difference for me!!! Thanks for helping out this 'lefty' skater!!!
V2climb aww I’m so glad that it helped you! That is so awesome. What app do you use to mirror the video? I have a few lefty skaters so I definitely understand your frustration 💗
@@CoachMichelleHong I know we are the minority, but I was like, "YESSS !!" haha! Ok, so this app only works in UA-cam and when using Google Chrome (so it's a Chrome app.....they will figure it out; I know nothing and it was pretty easy to do) It's called 'Flip a Video for UA-cam'. What it will do is add a grey arrow to your toolbar; it'll be located along the top right of the screen anytime you're watching UA-cam using Chrome. You just click that arrow at anytime, and the video will reverse. Now the arrow will be red so that you know you have it 'on'. All the page comments and stuff besides the actual video screen are still normal. If there is any title or anything IN the video, though, it will look backwards- no surprise there, but something to keep in mind if you add titles or descriptions onto your videos. Your lefties won't be able to really read them. I hope that helps!
I stopped skatting at 16 years old because I thought it was pointless since I wasn't skinny like my club mates, I only got to learn the waltz jump but always wanted to get to an axel. I am 24 now and recovering my skatting by myself, wish me luck, I really wish I get to do this jump for my 16 years old self :)
This video helped me SO MUCH!! I haven’t been able to land my axel off ice because my foot kept twisting in a weird way but after watching this I landed my first off ice axel! I am so excited and it’s all because of you and this video. Thank you!
Love this so much I recently got back into fugure skating and had some training a few years back however circumstances changed and I didn't train i was getting really good at my spins and now I can't even enter my spins off ice😂 i like this cause I get free off ice lessons. Your honestly a life saver😊😊
Wonderfully accessible explanations of the technique. I’m currently transferring ice techniques onto inline roller skates and your videos are extremely helpful . Thank you so much
I quit skating when I was 9 I was starting to learn my double axel and I was pretty good for my age now I'm 15 and barely rememberthe physics to bunny hops thank you for this 🙏
i am not a skater because where i live we dont have ice rinks but i literally LOVE ICE SKATING and im trying to learn some off-ice steps and THIS REALLY HELPED SO MUCH. Its really well explicated and helps a lot. I havent got the full rotation axel yet but i think the way u teach will really help me too get it, so basically THANK YOU ❤❤
It's the foundation for double axel, you need to work on the entrance on the ice. There are different entrances for each skater's double axel. Some squid and some have a clean edge take off depending on their coach's discretion.
I have the same question Because I heard that the way you lift your free leg into a double axel is different to an ordinary axel. Also how do I practice to rotate 2 and a half rotations?
InfiresxAngie Yayy I am so glad you enjoyed and that it was easy to follow! I’m posting my Salchow video soon. It’s already on IGTV. I hope that it’s easy to understand as well ☺️
I watched the video a week ago and it really helped! I thought it would be impossible to have my off-ice axel but now I am close (still very under-rotated). How hard is it to get the axel on ice when you have it off ice? I guess it is different for everyone, but I would be curious to know :)
@@천주영-j2m I wish, thank you for the reminder hahaha I moved to a new place, no skating lessons to motivate me, and that's poor excuses, I'll practice this weekend lol
I have been trying to get my axel off ice for awhile however I haven’t got it on ice yet. I don’t know how to get the full rotation for it and that is the major thing I have struggled with for awhile.
So for me I started figure skating lessons 3 years ago and I’m starting to learn jumps. But I have this weird mental block and I’m not able to lock my ankles together while I’m the air. Any advice?!
hi Michelle~ I'm just learning figure skating for 4 times, and happened to see your teaching film. I really like the way you teach. May I ask you what name is that tool on the ground at the very beginning in this film? And where could I buy it? Thank you : )
I’ve been trying to jump my axel for months after losing it. I’ve jumped it fully rotated off ice, and in two different harnesses but no matter what I can’t get past a block on ice. Honestly these videos are my last resort
It's not about any video. You will fall many times, sometimes very painful and if you don't accept that and try it either it will just never happen. It is normal to fall the head just needs to understand that
Hey I'm looking for advice I have no experience on the ice but I have always had a passion for it and am wondering if you would suggest taking it for gsce that's like the Stats but the only ice rink available to me means I'd have to catch a train fir 45mins not ideal but I wanna make this work I'm willing to put in all the effort bcs it's not going to be easy but I'm also 13 and idk what do you think?
Keeley Jones Hi. I'm 17 and i have passion too. I'll start at summer. So,just start! Throw these feelings. Just try do your best. In my country one woman called "Naz Arıcı" she started at age 29 and she competed in Adult Championships and took golden medal!! She said it's never too late to start skating. You're 13 and still younger. So,just start and see what the future brings! This ice rink in my town is a bit far away from my home,but i'll start no matter what. I love figure skating!
Hiya , I wanted to take it for a gcse and (in my skl atleast) they didn’t offer it as part of the pe course even though we are next to a rink. Check what exam board your school does for Pe and see on the spec if they include figure skating 💕 best of luck w ur skating
Hi Michelle I’m a big fan!! I’m here trying to learn proper technique because about a month and a half back I started doing off ice axels a lot and within the first few days I strained my back and as I did more it started hurting a lot. I’ve been going to physical therapy and it was finally starting to get better and I’ve been getting back to exercising daily this past week. I still have not gone back to the rink, but today I went through this whole video and was fine in the beginning , but towards the end it started to hurt again and it’s getting really frustrating. My doctor says it probably had something to do with the takeoff, I was planning on asking my coach if we could do some off ice lessons but I don’t know what else to do. Please let me know if you have any tips, recommendations, or if you know what’s going wrong. Have you seen this in skaters before??
Do you do it with shoes on? I had the same the same problem as you did... once I started doing it with shoes, as well as hopping out the landings, I felt a lot better.
Hi Michelle!💗 I’m trying the axel jump (off ice) for like 1 month already and I just does not succeed… Sometimes it’s feel like my jump is too low and I'm having a hard time with the angle cross position… if you have any tips for me I will very grateful💗
i keep on falling to the left side does anyone know why thats the case? like i can jump 1,5 rotation but i keep on falling to the left side with both feet.
I already know how to make the axel for like 1 year but now im not doing it anymore... my coaches tell me that my skating knee is not extending at the end of the jump.. they tell me i look like a flamingo in the air... can you help me? :((
does anyone know what kind of shoes she's wearing or can someone recommend me good shoes to wear for off ice practice? i want to protect my ankles as much as possible and I don't actually own any kind of running shoes right now (not sure if they are running shoes?)

How's it going?
Do you have your axel now?
I've literally never ice skated......why am I here.
Gotta start somewhere!
Same, but I want to ice skate more often at some point
i never ice skated too but i sow a girl making this axel and i actually loved it so i decided to learn it without the ice 😂
