I am so glad we have half jumps, because if I didn't start with half jumps, I think I would not try to jump at all.

lutz and axel, but my flip, loop, toeloop and salchow aren't perfect either so I'm working on those too.

I'm going to say I'm working on my axel. The other jumps are all good. I haven't tried doing an actually axel yet, just waltz-backspins, but I'm probably going to have to try it during my next lesson.

I'm working on the axel and double toe. I barely started on both of them, and they are on hold this month because I have a test and competition at the end of the month. In the meantime I'm still doing on off-ice axel and rotations. After the competition, it's ON! I would like to work on double sal too. I don't know if it's realistic, but I'd like to have one of these jumps down by next fall.

I put down doubles and triples because I'm working on getting my doubles nicer and more consistant and am working on landing easier triples and double axels verrry painful!

Working on consistent double salchows, double toeloops, double loops, and a bigger axel!

Sal mostly, and my waltz has deteriorated badly, so it needs work. Toe loop is the easy one for me, and I've landed a few good ones that actually caught some air.

It's strange: the toe is a jump that "just happens" for me.
