Ok fellow skaters!!! I want to know today what your fav. element to do is,and how long it took you YOURSELF to be able to do it? For me it's skating on my Edges,and I found myself to be able to do it right away!!! I am a NATUAL!!! Anyone else?

singles - layback. I love it. I'm not really sure how long it took. I know I put it in my first program which was about a year after I started skating. It's been a work in progress!

Pairs - forward inside death spiral. Not really sure how long this took, but whatever it was, it was well worth the effort!

I love split falling leaf jumps. I'm not sure how long it took me to be able to do one, but I know even my first attempts were somewhat decent.

I've also come to really like 2toes, and it took me YEARS to be able to do one well with proper technique.

Finally, I love camel spins and catch foot camel spins. I don't know how long it took me to get a regular camel because I learned the spin before I quit skating for a few years and don't really remember much of anything of my skating back then, but it took me quite a bit of practice to get my catch camel where it is now.

Salchows! It took me a long time to learn (3 months with my current coach), longer to get it right, it's my best jump and my most favorite!

Pancake Spin!!!!!! It took me about a month to get the back flat and everything but it was totally worth it!

Hi

Well my favourite spin is the variation spin, where you put your right skating leg over your left thigh. I am a natural to learn this spin, as I got the spin immediately on the spot when my coach first taught it to me.

I also like scratch spins.

Jumpwise, I like half loop.

My favorite element is the Walley, and I think it took me five minutes to be able to do it. But I was 12. Things are much easier when you're 12!
