SUPER! thank you michelle for every lil’ bit you give that demonstrates precision and ways to ensure precision…the toe loop has never made more sense 😉

I’m just starting some of my skaters on the double toe. I really like the idea of being able to “reset” the control with the mohawk entrance you suggest. I’m going to implement that immediately and see how it goes. Thanks Michelle!

I am a very beginning adult skater and I learned so much from this website. I was told I should “toe” take off & “toe” land ALWAYS! I am totally confused which one is right now… When I heel off for toe loop, I was immediately told that I was wrong… Could you please clarify on that…? Thanks.

SeonJoPark, we do in fact take off from the toe pick on every jump and land on the toe pick on every jump. But the idea of coming off the heel in the above video refers to the non-picking skating foot. The non-picking skating foot does indeed come off the heel for the vast majority of elite skaters, but that occurs BEFORE the toe pick of the picking foot leaves the ice. That means the axis foot comes off the heel and the picking foot comes off the toe just a moment later. Let me know if that is not clear.
