Michelle, I love your training drills and explanations! You have helped me so much How about the double toe loop next?

Fantastic! These videos are wonderful. I’ve been taking figure skating for about 9 months now (proper lessons) and I’m now onto double jumps thanks to these great videos. Thanks! Would it be possible to have videos on developing double flip/lutz from the single? Keep up the super job.

THANKS MICHELLE

Love all your videos on sal development. Curious, should an adult skater be able to generate a double sal from such a slow speed? I can see how that’s possible for kids who are feather lite but I’m weary about attempting double as an adult at such a slow speed. (For the record I’ve landed the double numerous times just looking to make it stronger/higher and more consistent).

Anna, a good general rule for doing low speed jumps is to ensure enough air time to accomplish the rotation. For a slow entry speed double salchow near the wall, it does not matter what size the skater is if the jump height is enough to compensate for the skaters rotational rate. But in general slow speed reduces both height and rotation rate, so if a skater can do it slowly near the wall as Michelle is teaching, then doing it with more speed on a regular pattern becomes very easy. As Michelle notes, a slow attempt is just a great way to get the skater to focus on increasing quickness (for both jump height and quickness to rotation and rotational position), if they have the physical capability. And yes, some adults can do this exercise very well.
