I was just forwarded this link last night--it's a new site that is just getting set up, and it looks like it's going to be fantastic!! It just has one section so far--analyzing a double axel. The video shows a girl attempting--and falling out of--the jump. You're supposed to watch it to see if you can figure out what's wrong. Then you watch a video w/ commentary using dartfish to analyze the jump, & point out where the flaws lie. It's really great!! I'm not even a freestyle coach & I'm fascinated. :)
You have to sign up for their email (but can unsubscribe later), and go through a little bit of messing around to get all the way through it but it's really worth it! I'm aquainted w/ the coach who's putting it together & he has a very good reputation in our area.
I believe the plan is to expand the site w/ more videos/topics, and I think make it a paid subscription thing. For now, it's free. I think this has great potential for coaches to add to their education!
