double loop tips?
I've started working on the double loop. I get 1.5 rotations, and I land with my feet crossed, kind of on both feet (still crossed) so it feels a bit tangled up.
Off ice, I get the full two rotations and a good landing (no hop out of it). Does anyone have any good tips/things to think about to help me land the loop? Thanks

Which way are you doing it from? A three turn or back edge.

You may not be getting enough knee bend to achieve the proper height, and you also may not be taking a deep enough edge. If the takeoff is too straight, it is hard to get the rotational momentum for two rotations.

I do them from a back edge. Is it correct to be going on a straight line and then jumping around and up?

I would say that you swich the jump to the three turn way and point ur toe in the air. The key is standing tall and pointing ur toe.

I would also recommend that when you are on the back edge to make sure you wait a bit longer than you think you need to before you bend your knee and jump. Don't rush the edge.
Also make sure your front arm (left if you are a CCW skater) doesn't start pre rotating. Make sure you leave it in front and feel a bit of tension in it before you bend and jump. Then pull in. And yes - as everyone else has said make sure you point your toe! |

Work single loop double loop combination! Worked a treat for me (a long time ago...)
