Working on my toe loop after 20 years.

I’ve been back on the ice for a few months now. I’ve been honestly scared to fall and it’s nice that I was able to at least pull in and fall and eventually land it. Not the cleanest I would’ve wanted but I need to appreciate it’s a start.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Salchow update

Thanks to everyone who commented with tips! I figured I’d upload a progress video. Definitely feeling more comfortable with the weight transfer and seem to be rotation over my correct hip how.

Working on getting back my other jumps but I’ve been a little terrified of falling haha.

Help with my salchow

Hey all, first time posting. I’m a retired competitive skater coming back after a 20 year hiatus.

I’m struggling with my salchow, recently switched to the two foot takeoff. I can’t seem to get my takeoff right which I think it’s causing it to rotate off axis or “off my hip”.

Everything feels different because I’m much taller (and heavier 😩) than I was when I was competitive. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
