This video breaks down a 6-step progression from the waltz jump into the Axel, designed to help skaters understand the timing, alignment, and rhythm required for a successful Axel takeoff.
We begin with a step-by-step walkthrough of each movement so skaters can clearly see how the sequence develops. Once the individual steps are understood, we demonstrate how to connect the progression smoothly and apply it in practice.
The progression gradually builds toward performing the full Axel, allowing skaters to develop confidence and consistency while reinforcing correct technique.
This drill is ideal for skaters working on:
Learning the Axel
Improving takeoff timing and coordination
Developing stronger Axel technique through structured progressions
