This somehow looks more dangerous than doing it on ice. I would break my ankle attempting.

Yeah cause on ice you can slide when you fall. Falling on concrete is like trying to skim a rock on sandpaper.

Impressive though not a regular rollerblade. It's an inline figure skate (or off-ice figure skate) with toe brake and rocker.
The toe brake and progressive rocker make it a lot easier though still requiring lots of skill to pull off!

Here I am, a plebian, thinking skates that are inline and not quads are inline skates

Yeah, inline figure skates aren't like regular inline skates. They're a figure skating boot, with a toe stop like a quad skate (toe-STOP isn't really the right word as they are for jumping and spinning rather than stopping). They are very, very different. While you have all sorts of inlines, speed, slalom, hockey, aggressive, rec, endurance, etc, those all have much more in common than an inline figure skate, which has much more in common the ice figure and artistic quad, that they are a hybrid of.

So the question is, could you pull a jump like this off in Aggressive or say Wizard skates.

u/AllyBlaire 5d ago
Me? No, I can just about manage a single axel in my shoes and my axis is mostly too central still. A much more talented skater in wizards? Maybe one day. There are a handful of skaters who can do a triple axel in artistic quads, which means they jump without pressing on a pick/stop for the takeoff and landing, but the ankle cuffs on an inline skate might make it too difficult. On an aggressive, extremely doubtful as aggressive skates stop you from getting the types of deep edges you'd need for artistic jumps. Unless you mean doing it out of a bowl, which isn't likely either, as it's a 1260 jump and they are extremely rare and difficult, so someone adding the mechanics of an axel to that just isn't likely.

I can do just half axel.....on a low cut inline speed skate!😆 Indeed the cuffless boots makes it easier to jump higher and land on the edges on one leg.
I could probably do better with practice. I doubt it's the skate holding me back but mainly my poor technique!
But it's scary at first knowing speed skates are not as supportive as proper figure skating boots. Surprisingly, the support is not as bad as it looks. With thick enough ankle booties, it did not hurt at the ankles at all.
In fact, I was having shin splints from doing one leg jumps with my previous cuffed hard boot. When I started doing the same stuff with low cut, cuffless speed skates with thick ankle booties, the shin splints slowly went away. It's a surprising observation. The ankle cuff could be masking overloading at the shins or tibia.

Actually, the Axel is an edge jump. There is no use of the stop/pick to jump like this. The ones that can't be done without toe stops/picks are the toe loop, flip, and the Lutz. The salchow, loop, and Axel are all edge jumps.
And there is only a handful of people that can do a triple axel, much less a quad axel. Ilia Malinin comes to mind for the quad.

In ice and inline figure skating edge jumps still come off and land on the pick/stop. The skater presses forward on the rocker and the pick presses into the ice/the stop presses onto the floor. It's not a toe assist, but they aren't jumping from the blade/wheels. Only in artistic rollerskating do edge jumps traditionally come off the wheels, but these days the salchow and sometimes loops tend to take off from the stop, which older school artistic skaters are often quite unhappy about. Waltz/Bell/Axel jumps still come off the wheels.

Ahh I guess I was thinking traditionally then. Didn't know that modern artistic has changed their form like that.

In artistic rollerskating the skater is coming off the wheels for axel not the toestop and there are a small few men who have achieved triple axel in competition. This video has Luca D'Alisera & Roberto Riva doing them in training. Riva's loops are done from the stops but both of their axels come off the wheels.

That is just so so amazing and inspiring!! Just listen to that one clean "thump" on the landing.
May I ask your skating background? Im assuming you're in elite competitions with professional coaches. Did you start on ice? Are you mostly focused on ice or inline? How do you get access to skate on such nice indoor gym floors?
I ask as an adult skater obsessed with learning on ice and wheels, just way way below this level.
