DON'T DO THIS! Common Flip jump figure skating errors and how to fix them. Ice skater tutorial



Here’s a very common problem with flip: toe scrape on takeoff. As a skater reaches back to tap the toe pick in their weight is pushing down on the toe causing it to skid along the ice instead of biting into it briefly.
⠀
This is caused by putting the toe in on the way down in your knee bend instead of on the way UP! I’m always looking for a rhythmical knee action in jumps and in the flip this is so important to help you feel the skating knee. Toe pick on the way up on your takeoff.
⠀
Down..... Up and toe!

I take no responsibilty for any injuries caused - take care and have fun!
