Learning Double Jumps

[rf3ray]

Just wondering from people learning here, when did you guys start doing your double jumps like flips lutzes and etc?

[coskater64]

I have to have a clean lazy axel, solid double sow and toe landed on running edges for one. My double loop has to show full rotation and solid tight foot cross, only then am I allowed to work on double flips in a straight line at moderate to slow speed w/ emphasis on where I pick and the pivot. I currently don't work on double lutz. But, this is what works for me...

The first and only double that I ever landed was the 2flip ... I was going for a 2toe 8O

I started on the axel and doubles at the same time. My axel was crap and the doubles were nearer than the axel ever was (apparently it goes like that, some people get the doubles before the axel, I wasn't anything unique).

I started off learning 2toe and 2sal though my 2loop and 2flip were much better. I did try the 2lutz once but it wasn't very good and the entrance was WELL cheated.

Apart from the fluke 2flip I can't say that I ever landed a clean double. The loop and flip were much nearer than the others though.

When I got the double sal and double toe relatively consistent, I started on loops and flips. When I got the loop, I started on the lutz. The flip is so freakin' close, but the lutz is elluding me...

When I started working on my axel, I started working on double loop. Once I landed that, it was on to dbl sal and flip. From flip to lutz, and toe was thrown in.

That's interesting, does anyone learn the double toe first?


And from what I gather doubles/axel don't begin until you perfect your backspin.

when I got axel, i started on double sal then double toe.Once I got them i folowed on double loop but could'nt quite land it so started working on double flip and lutz.In the end I got d flip before d loop and d loop before d lutz.

I was much the same as Soph, axel, 2sal, 2toe, but didnt get the 2loop, went on to 2flip and got that and 2lutz before 2loop. Now its only 2axel i need to learn and it is killing me!!

I wanted to do throw doubles. I started on an axel and hated it, so we worked on a double sal and a double loop. I've actually landed some double sals on my own. For throws, they were progressing when I stopped competing in pairs. The only throw double axel was in a harness.

Mine is along the lines of this... might have got somethings mixed up but generally: I got axel then started on double sal, got it, started on double toe, lost the double sal, got back the double sal, started on double loop, got some cheated double loops and maybe one or two clean ones in my whole skating life, managed to land very cheated double toe and double flip... but those dont count.

How long have you been on 2axel? what is your preparation going into the jump?
I start on an inside edge on the right foot, change edge on to an outside edge and then jump.i landed it today but double footed on the landing,shame!!

My axel was still cheated when I stared landing clean double sals. Of course I had to be weird and land double flip next, then loop. My double toe was never very consistant, and I landed 3 clean or almost-clean double lutzes in my life. I quit to focus on dance a couple months later.
