i can do it off ice right all seems well yesterday i tried doing it ice lol nope when i landed i belly flopped on the ice and now i have a huge bruise on my hip good times good times
@@thithanhphuongnguyen6539 ofcourse it works but only if you put hard efford in your practice. And you have to keep in mind that figure skates are athletes so if you are not fit and properly stretched and warmed up before stepping on the ice you may not be able to land a single axel.
Would be super helpful to make a basics series but instead of just a tutorial, like, Why You're Not Getting Your Backward Crossovers Right, and you and your students demonstrate some common mistakes in that basic move that beginners wouldn't easily realize they're doing wrong. Because I think there are plenty of tutorials on how to do this-and-that basic, but really what they need is to know what to look out for. The feeling is always like, why am I getting this wrong. Plus points if you end up having like a third skater who's just in her alphas or betas and she learns along with the rest of us. Ooh, and maybe your viewers can send you in their progress videos and you can include them in the next video for like a community building aspect.
Exactly. How the jump is supposed to be done is the easiest thing, but what you're doing wrong and why you can't do it is much more difficult to figure out
LOVE love how you explain it! If only you could be my coach :) Can you make these types of videos in the order you would normally train your beginner students? As if ALMOST personally coaching me even tho I live in another country right now hehe. Would be BIG help. Thank you! Love from the Philippines 💕
Wow, you have really added some new angles on how to land that daunting jump! I am 61 yrs old, starting skating a 26, first lesson at 30, did some axels on the ice (mostly two foot landings). I can do them all day long of the ice, because I can push off the ball of my foot. I will try some of your techniques! Really good video, good smile and presentation, camera and editing, (I am a proffesional videographer). Great job!! Lets get more adults to skate! It is a great workout for any age, sex, culture! Great job Michelle, love you and your students enthusiasm! - Mike in Adult Skater in Anchorage, AK.
This is an amazing video! Thank you so much Michelle! Could you do a video with tips on how to do an Ina Bauer? I can't manage to make it in a straight line (or almost straight) and I haven't found any tips online
Thank you for your nice words! You're in luck because I'll be working on an Ina Bauer tutorial soon. Keep your notification button on to check for the next post!
Wow! What a great tutorial! It was really helpful. My daughter, 7 years old, imediately had a huge improvement after watching this video and doing all the excercises step by step. Thank you!
I'm seeing your videos in my feed and it hit me that my daughter (Ashlynn Peacock) must've been using my UA-cam acct🤣. She really enjoyed meeting you in Austin last week for the 2023 Excel Nationals. You were so accommodating and gracious. Thank you for taking a photo with her. She's working on her doubles right now. She just finished the excel preliminary plus, I have no idea which path her coach will choose for us in 2024, but I hope we cross paths again. Your positive spirit is contagious.... Prayers🙏
Great video Michelle 😍 the basic positions at the start are super important, be patient skaters this ones so different to the other jumps but it’s sooooo worth it! be patient and keep trying it will come 🙂
I'm looong way away from Axel, but working slowly towards it, I would like to highlight the way you explain and teach the jump. I love the simpliest singlest parts where the skater should start from. Absolutely perfect explanation! Thank you Michelle ❤️
I am going to learn my axel soon and i'm terrified, like I really want to learn it but even doing off-ice axels scare me. Do you have any tips on overcoming this fear? This video was really useful thank you!
Hey! I loved this video. I did all of these exercises and took in all of these tips (especially the bread one lol) and in ONE FREESTYLE SESSION I almost have my axel back. I “quit” skating 4 years ago because I chose to go to a college in a city that doesn’t have a rink :(. I really only skate a couple weeks out of the year between summer jobs and winter break. Thank you so much for posting these videos!
sad to say i've been working on my axel for 2 years. i landed it first day off the harness and i think it pressured my coaches into pushing me forward trying to get me to do different stuff before i was even comfortable with the jump. it's been on and off, the only thing i can stress is to please take your time while learning this❤️
I dont really like Sports, never have BUT after watching yuri on ice ive been wanting to try figure skating. Every time i try to jump i twist my ankles, so i went to youtube and to be honest... UA-cam helped alot.
Thank you so much for this amazing video! I am working on my axel and my coach hasn’t even mentioned some of these tips!!! Thank you so so much! I hope to update soon my progress and tag you in it!🙏🙏🙏💕❤️🙌
Thank you! Been teaching myself for years, and I still have problems getting that last half rotation. Can’t wait to test this out. Please do a video teaching the lutz next 😄
I've been working on axel for almost a year and I still haven't gotten it *sigh*....My problem is that I spin too slow and can't get the full rotation even off ice. I think watching this gives me a better idea what to try though
I have a good off ice exercise I did and pretty much after I did that and perfect it I managed to do an axel off and and gone after a few tries on ice as well Basically you do a full rotation on the foot you take off on and then do a half rotation onto the foot you’re landing on But make sure you do it fast
I used to be able to do the easy one. Like just a half turn when I was a child. I only figure skated for a few months tho. Now I want to start again haha
@@veronikaharnke8568 I just saw this ahah I actually got it but ended up falling and getting a concussion shortly after and it took me out of competitive skating completely :( I only coach now
I was at the rink today and my mom was talking to a random mom, and the mom was saying how her daughter has only been on the ice 5 times and already has her axel and my mom is not stupid she was like there is no was so the mom points her kid and says oh here she goes she going to do an axel and she did a WALTZ JUMP and the mom thought her kid was just amazing. I didn't say this to the mom but I was like ya your kid is no ore than average I've seen a 5 year old do a waltz jump. and if your thinking you've gotta give her some credit for doing any kind of jump in rentals but nope this kid had her own skates. apparently his kid is an amazing gymnast (according to her mother) and even went on American ninja warrior. I looked her up on youtube to see her American ninja warrior video and the kid ate dust. she was full of herself and and filled with her moms words saying shes perfect and there is no oe near as good as her. IF you think im being mean … well you would agree with me if you where there.
very good video, bunny hopes are good to practice often people overlook them as well . Axel may take even 7 years to get if skater has no coaching or very small number of coaching lessons, I believe if back spins are confident and strong and skater is confident, has no physical problems, can learn to be quick, its possible for most people to learn. Harness is also very very important
I have a question. In December as an early Christmas gift I got a pair of skates I would put them on they don’t feel to right or anything, I’ll lace them up and they feel fine. But with in the first 5-10 mins of me skating my feet hurt so bad like that outside side part of my feet. Do you know why that may happen? Because I know it’s not tying them too tight because I’ve even had other people tie them for me who tie them they exact same. I think my skates our not wide enough but I just want another opinion. Thank you
You can definitely get your skates widened by a skate tech at your rink if you feel like they are too tight. I think it's best you go to the proshop and ask all the questions concerning your skates.
It may be to do with your arches on your feet. I was suffering from pain under my foot and on the side, and I got my ankles “punched” out by my skate technician and custom insoles made and now I get no pain! Hope this helps
Well if u looked in a easy way... You'll do it._. Although I haven't try XD I haven't even learn how to do backwards, rotation, freestyle , flexibles QvQ But I wanna learn axel now °=°
@@mcmoon_ do a lot of off ice axels! to warm up my axels on ice i always do this warm up where you jump up like your doing an axel but instead of rotating you click your heels and lack backwards essentially like a walz jump. it always helped me with my snap and finished my rotations! also stand on the wall in h position (air position) and alternate standing on your toes but make sure you’re snapping into the position if that makes sense. it’s hard to explain haha.
I’ve been working on air rotations off ice and am consistently getting over a full rotation. I just have trouble doing it from an axel entrance but I’m less then half a rotation away from land it with clean rotations. I’m still working on landing on my right foot with the rotations
Ima Figure Skater, This woman, THIS WOMAN... *she helped me so dang much* *I litterally have been learning my axel for over a year, now i can finally land it*
Hi Michelle. Thank you. I had my axel years ago but without a coach I'm scared to do it. I've been trying to conquer that fear and have been doing the set-up work for it. I keep cheating and landing on my left foot though, but I'm happy to see that that is called a 1 foot axel, and it is still a bit of progress. Thanks for these exercises !
When i first started axels with my first coach she repeated the same thing over and over again but it never really worked. It has been like that for like a year. Then covid started and i switched coaches and got my axel in less than a mont with my new coaches.
I really loved this video . I got my axel about a month ago but I'm having a blockage right now :( Do you have any tips on how to get it constant ? I have a competition soon and would really love to be able to land it in it ! Thank you
I have a Pre-Preliminary freeskate competition coming soon. Is it possible to learn it in a month with HARD HARD work doing the exercises that you said?
Very much struggling to get the air position. Can do it off ice with ease in and out of skates. Any tips on getting to confidence to do the air position?
i learned to do an axel when i was 8 and i’m now 14 still unable to skate because of medical issues. i’m trying to relearn all that i could do before so this is very helpful, ty!!
I want to impress a girl while skating on a date this year, so I UA-camd "how to do a tripple axel" and after watching this video... I think imma just learn the bunny hop cause that looks just as cool 😂 thanks Coach Michelle 🙆♂️😊
I know the techniques, the problem is after 6 years of not skating, when I just got immensely inspired by yuzuru hanyu, here comes the pandemic and as u know: 1. Hong Kong pandemic control measures are messed up and all forms of venues are just either closed or made into temporary testing venues 2. Hong Kong has only 6 skating rinks and only one standard one, located in a far east region of hk. There is a skating rink at the mall nearby but it is less than 2/3 of the standard size.
I was able to land my Axel off ice for a long time I tried it on the ice for the first time this summer, I started landing it a couple weeks into the season and now I can’t land it again
I’ve been able to land my axel off ice for a while now and my coach has finally put my in the harness! I have all the basic steps I.e: steps of jump, waltz loop, waltz backspin loop.
I can do a axel SO perfectly on the harness but I get scared when I’m off the harness and I don’t even get off the ice. It’s been like this for a year. 😪
I've been trying to get a decent single loop jump for 4 or 5 months...My flip still needs a lot of work, but it's better than my loop. I might try to get my axel before loop or lutz, which still scares me too much to try.
Peanut and Oreo Basset I hated learning my loop jump, I spent 6 months in mental agony because I just couldn’t ‘do it’. And then one day , as if like pure magic it just clicked. Within 2 weeks I was doing them from crossovers and with speed and now I’m working on air position and distance + height. Honestly still shocked I have the jump! My point is, don’t lose hope. You never know what’s around the corner and what’s gonna happen next time you train!
Does this same technique (jumping off foot you say/Ect) work for people who are left handed? LOL does that even matter? {new and trying to teach and attract my 4 year old to figure skating}
Hi coach Michelle!!! I am in freeskate 4 and I can land my flip, loop, salchow, and my lutz. I can land a axel off ice, but I haven't asked my private coach if I can do it yet. When I go to freestyle, what should I work on?
Thanks I have been working on and off on my skating for a year now because of exams and I left when learning my axel and I guess it realy has got me down knowing people get it so fast and I haven’t because I do like 3 attempts every month. I have the rotation I think it’s the height and knowing I can land it that I struggle with. I need to keep trying but it’s gotten me down because in my head I have been trying it a long time but in reality I realy haven’t so it’s sad watching others get it when I still cant.
I literally can't even do it off ice. I basically throw myself into the air and pray I land on my feet lol.
Angela Cruz same haha ;-;
Just keep at it! Don't give up
Angela Cruz did u get it down ?
i can do it off ice right all seems well yesterday i tried doing it ice lol nope when i landed i belly flopped on the ice and now i have a huge bruise on my hip good times good times

But make sure you do it fast

I always fall down when I land, have You exercises I can do for improving my landing? Thanks a lot
Can I start figure skating at 14, or is it too late
I know the techniques, the problem is after 6 years of not skating, when I just got immensely inspired by yuzuru hanyu, here comes the pandemic and as u know:
1. Hong Kong pandemic control measures are messed up and all forms of venues are just either closed or made into temporary testing venues
2. Hong Kong has only 6 skating rinks and only one standard one, located in a far east region of hk. There is a skating rink at the mall nearby but it is less than 2/3 of the standard size.
Is it possible to also do it with t blades or is it then worst?
I was able to land my Axel off ice for a long time I tried it on the ice for the first time this summer, I started landing it a couple weeks into the season and now I can’t land it again
I’ve been able to land my axel off ice for a while now and my coach has finally put my in the harness! I have all the basic steps I.e: steps of jump, waltz loop, waltz backspin loop.
Thanks for the tips Michelle! I've got my axel but sometimes I can't check out and my left leg touches the ice
I can do a axel SO perfectly on the harness but I get scared when I’m off the harness and I don’t even get off the ice. It’s been like this for a year. 😪
Sara Zubieta, doing it on the harness is literally the excact same as doing it without the harness! Actually… The harness is harder for me
Thank you for the tips! I've been working on my axel for 3 months now and the bunny hops and jump backspins have helped a lot!
I learned to do an axel before a loop jump. The loop jump gave me fits and it was the last jump I learned.
I've been trying to get a decent single loop jump for 4 or 5 months...My flip still needs a lot of work, but it's better than my loop. I might try to get my axel before loop or lutz, which still scares me too much to try.
Peanut and Oreo Basset I hated learning my loop jump, I spent 6 months in mental agony because I just couldn’t ‘do it’. And then one day , as if like pure magic it just clicked. Within 2 weeks I was doing them from crossovers and with speed and now I’m working on air position and distance + height. Honestly still shocked I have the jump! My point is, don’t lose hope. You never know what’s around the corner and what’s gonna happen next time you train!
Nooo I don’t have a toe pick cuz I don’t have trad skates. Looks like imma have to buy them
Does this same technique (jumping off foot you say/Ect) work for people who are left handed? LOL does that even matter? {new and trying to teach and attract my 4 year old to figure skating}
All the same technique applies just switch the feet and she is good to go! Aww that's a great age to get started
im still freestyle 2 but i always try to do an axel i just need 1/2 rotation
Please do one on camel spins!! I really am struggling to get that one down !
I just got my off ice axel today w legs tucked, but I can’t get my legs tucked on ice and I’m under rotated
Yuzu's been practicing Quad Axel for 5 years now.
Wow l almost landed an axel
Thank you
Hi coach Michelle!!! I am in freeskate 4 and I can land my flip, loop, salchow, and my lutz. I can land a axel off ice, but I haven't asked my private coach if I can do it yet. When I go to freestyle, what should I work on?
I don't even know how to iceSkate. The last time I rememebered I bumped my head on ice floor
Thanks I have been working on and off on my skating for a year now because of exams and I left when learning my axel and I guess it realy has got me down knowing people get it so fast and I haven’t because I do like 3 attempts every month. I have the rotation I think it’s the height and knowing I can land it that I struggle with. I need to keep trying but it’s gotten me down because in my head I have been trying it a long time but in reality I realy haven’t so it’s sad watching others get it when I still cant.
My axel goes too inside! How do u fix that?
We call the click Waltz jumps bell jumps
Nice! I love the different names people in skating use :)
I can't be the only one looking at Axel from kingdom hearts stuff and end up here ...no just me
This is just akward if I'm the only one
