What kind of jumps are you working on?

[WannabeS8r]

I know I have made this kind of thread in the past, but I find this subject very interesting. So, what jumps is everyone on skatingforums doing?

I am currently working on my single lutz (trying to stop flutzing, actually ;)).

[tidesong]

Still trying to make my axel more consistent as well but i checked doubles coz mostly is making double salchow and double toe consistent, and double loop is currently on hold but I plan to try and get that again in the next couple months. So those are the jumps I'm working on.

[Skittl1321]

I am working on (and have some degree of ability... but none of them are great) a waltz jump, a half-flip, a half-lutz, a half of a loop (not a half loop), a toe-loop, a salchow, and a loop.

[Morgail]

I am also working on the lutz:) I can get it up (and it feels as though it has a lot of height...but that could be deceiving!), but I can only get a half to 3/4 of a revolution. I have a feeling that once I get this jump, I'll love it.

I'm also working on refining the technique in all my jumps (crossed legs, arms in, strong check on the landings, etc.). And on making combinations with the jumps I have right now.

[beachbabe]

i am as always still working on double loop and lutz- flip seems to be consistent, but my loop is cheated and my lutz i cant land at all right now. And i still have to work on my axel b/c its not anywhere near decent enough to learn a double b/c i have a major wrap and often have trouble on the takeoff

[TreSk8sAZ]

Working on double sal, toe, and loop. I've landed them all, they're just horribly inconsistent. Used to have double flip and lutz, but injuries and extreme sickness have made my jumps go far, far away.

[jcookie1982]

Toe-loop, ands salchow, and just about ready to move onto the loop.

[Sk8pdx]

I have been working to master the loop and flip. :)

[Amandaskategirl]

In lessons I am currently always working on axels and then sometimes double salchows or double loops. I can’t land any of them though. :frus:

[kateskate]

I'm working on axels, double salchows and double toe loops. I do these pretty much every lesson now. Double loops and double flips I may try every now and then

[SkatingOnClouds]

What sort of jumps am I working on? Messy ones!:lol:

I ticked all through to lutz. Out of all the jumps I used to be able to do, this one is the last to get back. Not saying I do any of the others very well, but I am focussing mainly on loop, flip, lutz and the waltz/loop combination.

[Mrs Redboots]

Very seldom jump at all, but we have a 3-jump (or waltz jump, if you are on the other side of the Atlantic) and a bunny hop in our free dance this year.

[Scarlett]

I am working on my loop, flip, and lutz.
My loop is inconsistent at best. The flip and lutz are fully rotated but landed on two feet. I just can't seem to find my left side on the landing (CW skater).

[skating_babe11]

I'm working on double salcow and loop.

[Sonic]

All my jumps are a work in progress. I've been stuck on Flip forever, and will probably have to accept the fact I'll never get it. Have been trying axels recently - can do them fine off ice, but nowhere near on ice.

[blackmanskating]

I am working on consistency with my axel, double toe, double sal, double loop, and double flip. I am going back to single lutz again because I am having serious problems with a double lutz. I am not transferring my weight properly and it is causing me to double flutz. And that's if I make it all the way around. :frus: Landing a double axel is my ultimate goal. We'll see.

[jskater49]

I'm working on getting a better waltz jump - so that I actually jump every time I try it...and I'm gonna have something that at least resembles a toe loop for a competition in JUne. After that I will tackle the sachow again, a jump I totally just do not get.

I actually have a pretty decent half-lutz, according to my coach and a passerby who commented "that was really big"

[badaxel]

I'm trying to fix my axel and am working on getting my 2 toe and 2 salchow. I hope to start landing them soon.

[CaraSkates]

I'm working on the last 1/4 rotation on my axel and working on my 2sal. I actually usually go all the way around on the 2sal but it's not controlled and it's messy.

[NCSkater02]

Waltz, half flip and half lutz, toe loop, and salchow. My coach just started teaching me loop entry.

Half flip is probably the most consistant and well done, salchow is my favorite, even though it's probably only around 50% consistant.

[chowskates]

Trying to get double Sal and double toe consistent. Supposed to be working on double loop & double flip, but decided to shelve those since I'm not doing it in my program now!! :halo:

[Paulie86]

I'm working on the flip at the moment. I thought I had gotten it, but my coach keeps telling me that I'm bending my leg that i pick into the ice with :cry: Not happy with it at all, because it seems like no matter how hard i try, I can't keep it straight. Hmm, maybe I'll be working on it forever too!

[cathrl]

I too hardly jump - but I'd like to keep the 3-jump, toe loop and salchow I learnt for the passport going, given how hard I found it to get them in the first place! I have finally decided that bunny hops are fun, though, after years of pure terror :)

I don't think we do those half-jumps in the UK - I've certainly never heard anyone say they were learning them as jumps in themselves, though I've seen a few more advanced kids doing half-loop so they can put a double salchow in a jump sequence. They certainly don't get tested.

[techskater]

Double loops and double flips

[peanutskates]

started the salchow today:D

I am so glad we have half jumps, because if I didn't start with half jumps, I think I would not try to jump at all.

[Sessy]

lutz and axel, but my flip, loop, toeloop and salchow aren't perfect either so I'm working on those too.

[xofivebyfive]

I'm going to say I'm working on my axel. The other jumps are all good. I haven't tried doing an actually axel yet, just waltz-backspins, but I'm probably going to have to try it during my next lesson. 8O

[southernsk8er]

I'm working on the axel and double toe. I barely started on both of them, and they are on hold this month because I have a test and competition at the end of the month. In the meantime I'm still doing on off-ice axel and rotations. After the competition, it's ON! I would like to work on double sal too. I don't know if it's realistic, but I'd like to have one of these jumps down by next fall.

[flying~camel]

Axel, when I'm not working on my Silver moves.

[fmh]

I put down doubles and triples because I'm working on getting my doubles nicer and more consistant and am working on landing easier triples and double axels :frus: verrry painful!

[SynchroSk8r114]

Working on consistent double salchows, double toeloops, double loops, and a bigger axel! :D

[sunjoy]

Sal mostly, and my waltz has deteriorated badly, so it needs work. Toe loop is the easy one for me, and I've landed a few good ones that actually caught some air.

It's strange: the toe is a jump that "just happens" for me.
