There's nothing like the rythm of a well executed salchow....

SKATING: It's the feeling you get at the end of a hard practice when you pushed yourself to the limit. It's a part of YOU, something you LOVE and HATE. A bond that NO ONE ELSE understands, but that's okay, because every time you get out on the ice it isn't just you; it's all the friends and coaches, all the practices, the pain, the tears, the memories,the laughter, the "off" competitions. It may seem, skating is really a team sport, it's more than just a sport. IT'S A WAY OF LIFE."

So, does that make me completely weird? I haven't even begun to learn loop, but salchow is--or will be once I master it--my favorite jump. (Half) flip is my most consistant, as well as waltz (another fave). My lutz it fairly consistant, I just don't get much height like my flip.

Toe loop drives me up a wall--I can't seem to get the right outside edge thing down--I consistantly do a toe-waltz.

I voted flip, but I'm not sure why, lol. I suppose it's a really consistent jump for me....when I don't overwork it. Last week I skated for the first time in two weeks (busy with finals, Easter, etc.). The first jump my coach had me do was the flip, and it was perfect. I was surprised with myself, because the flip is the jump that most often "leaves" me. I always try to get "just a bit more" height or flow, and end up overdoing it and then can't land the damn thing worth a hoot. But when I try it right out of the gate, it almost always goes well.
