Figure Skating Education: Magic Three Turns (Chris Conte)

Chris Conte discusses “3 turn magic” which is a system for developing walk-throughs of all the jumps.  In this video, Chris shares important tips by working directly with a skater.  The references to “cat and mouse” and “baby bear” will be more clear after future videos.

These drills are outstanding for developing skater alignment, stability and control.

    Hi Chris, My name is christophe and my soon to be wife tiffany Sfikas had tell me how good you are, but i now know it for sure. One of my student struggled with axel (who doesn t)… He could actually do a double better than a single. Over rotating and “free leg” open being the problem, i found your video and thought What a clear way to get him to understand Buttom line is: He lands them now properly! Thanks for sharing this genius exercise, hope to meet you one day…
