new loop dilemmas... (but good news too!)

[peanutskates]

yay, at last, I rotate the loop!!! w00t w00t!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

but

When I land, my free foot is still crossed in front, and I'm forced to untangle it and put it down immediately... so I can't glide out...

How do I get the free foot out of the way and glide out gracefully on my skating leg?

thank you in advance:bow:

More important - why are you forced to untangle and put it down immediately? Even if your foot is still crossed, you should be able to land it on one foot - remember you'll do this when you do a combo. So if you feel you have to put it down right away, you may not be landing with the wt on the landing foot/side. Try a little more knee bend on your landing leg - this will give you more stability. When learning my jumps I pften checked out late - I wanted to be sure it was a solid landing, then I checked out. My coach always told me to think of bringing the free knww up and out - but that never really worked well for me.
