first 3axel

[kayskate]

I also posted this on the skaters forum, but though fans might be interested as well.

I have looked for this on the net before and stumbled upon it today, so I thought I would share in case anyone else is interested.

This is the 1st 3axel that counted in competition:

As a point of interest, here is a 3axel on quad roller skates:

Here is a newsreel of David Jenkins doing a 3axel in 1957:
