Jump specialist Trevor Laak comments on a quad toe loop performed by US National Champion Jason Brown.  Trevor discusses how much rotation actually occurs “in the air” and addresses the rarely understood aspect of different amounts of rotation for different parts of the body.

He also analyzes the jump and explains aspects of the jump that are excellent and those that could be improved.  He also touches on aspects that are common but often misunderstood, as well as aspects of the jump that are unusual but not wrong.

First, here is the jump Trevor is analyzing.  This video was taken on a recent trip that he made to visit Kori Ade and her team of skaters and coaches.  The voice in the video is that of coach and choreographer Rohene Ward as he was wearing the wireless microphone at the time and teaching a different lesson.

Below is the analysis by Trevor.

    This kind of analysis is what makes Trevor Laak the Jedi Master of jump coaches. How many coaches would take into account the possible rotational drag created by a pony tail? My figure skating friends and I love this video because the “pony tail analysis” at 9:05 is priceless. We laugh every time we watch it.

    Ha ha, thanks Brian. The real drawback to having a ponytail is having it come around and hit you in the face on every landing, but Jason’s is a bit short for that!
