Axel/Double Salchow Progression

Here's a behind-the-scenes look of how I learned how to do an axel and double salchow back in 2011. I started learning my axel when I was 7 and consistently got it when I was 8. I also started working on my double salchow around that time. I guess I can still land them in 2020 even though I've been retired for 6 years haha

You were so cute! And its amazing that you can still do them it must be the muscle memory ;)

Thank you so much! This is very inspiring, idk if you would have any tips if you're too scared to even try doubles, like me.

I would say try starting with a single and rotating a little more each time. I used a backspin to catch myself and it helped get the feeling down. Good luck!

how long were you skating before you started learning doubles?

About 2.5-3 years
