Product Description

Douglas Haw starts us off with doing an axel on a small circle.  He comments he likes this as well as an axel on a line to practice.  You will do a three turn pump then slice your arms through on two feet then you pick your foot up.  Then you will bring your left arm more to your right arm.  This is a step by step set up on a curve.

Douglas explains looking into the direction of your jump.  He then gives the common error of over rotating and falling out of your circle.  He uses the catchy feet in a “T” arms in a “V” making it TV time.  So helpful to remember.

He then goes through this sequence of movements again. Douglas explains the critical part of the transition of the back edge to the forward edge and how it should look like a giant 3 turn.  He compares it to an Ina Bauer.  He then talks about your arms, and shoulder blades.  This helps facilitate pulling in and this creates a “v” shape then pulling in.  This is a incredibly helpful, detailed 2 minute and 52 second video lesson.
