Remove from My FavoritesI’m a little confused on this one…I was under the impression that for a single flip keeping hips and shoulders “square” and in line with each other was really important. So this tip is about the the shoulders kind of “leading” the hips?
I think the guy doing the nice double Axel in the background at 1:25 was Mark Webster, please correct me if I am wrong?
Awesome! I was always told by my coach to not let shoulders pass the hips, but I can see how it works catching the hips up. Thank you Michelle! I look forward to helping my students get better jumps with this technique!!
I wish Michelle was my coach! I was told to keep the shoulders square but this way seriously helps with rotation. I have a lot more success with double flip attempts if I turn my shoulders first. Thanks for another great video!
