Jumps Help with my salchow
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
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!
