Help with the Double loop in figure skating?

Figure Skating: Double Sal help?

• Every time i do my double sal in figure skating, i either can't get high enough in the air, and cheat it by a quater of a rotation, or i land it on two feet, but no matter what ...show more

• Answer:

  I used to have the SAME EXACT problem!! What my coaches have told me to do to land it was before I take off, to be on the rocker of the blade but be leaning straight (or somewhat backwards, but not enough that your going to fall back) and then take off. Another thing one of my coaches taught me was to keep my leg low before take off, then when you're ready to take off to pass it through. I hope this helps, and you can land your double salchow!! :) Katie xoxo
