    I like the “sitting in on a lesson” format. Would like to see more harness work. Including with a “fishing pole” harness.

    Phew – There was soooo much to think about there Chris. What I didnt see in this girl was the correct lean onto the circle going into the jump and also no stillness before takeoff which is essential for consistant jumping. I teach double and triple axel with emphasis on correct lean and stillness and as little movement as possible in order to achieve the best take off for the jump. Kind Regards Stewart – Coach UK

    Thank you very much for this site. I’m a junior coach from Hong Kong n we lack of the knowledge of these jumping skills. This site can really help us. Thank you for sharing!!!

    This was very helpful! I really liked the “sitting in a on lesson” format since it simulates reality and it was good to see Chris go through several ideas to get his point across. Thanks!

    Thank you so much Chris, my daughter is just starting to do her double axel and she really enjoyed watching this video.

    Thank Chris for this session. I believe this should be extremely beneficial to a lot of skaters learning their Axels or Double Axels.

    A fresh perspective on the double axel, especially the box, straw, and willy wonka examples – thank you!

    I’ve personally never been in a harness like that, but it looks great for practicing jump take-offs. I will definately take your advise and examples on the ice next time i work on mine 🙂 thank you!!

    love the cat and mouse idea! very good analysis in your coaching, your students are lucky to have you!

    This was great, the box and target areas were very helpful. 2 things I, that our harness had that sort of attachment on the skater and 2 that Chris would move to Canada and coach all my kids!

    Nice! i always hearing other people explain things and I think Chris has some very interesting ways of getting the skater to understand..

    I am not a big harness fan, but seeing video makes me think we should invest in a stationary harness.

    Like the sitting in format—picking up on the corrections is as valuable as hearing how to do the initial instruction.

    Fantastic! It feels like I was right there in the lesson! Great tips – muchly appreciated!
