11s
Level: Foundation
Base exercise: Salchow entry to follow through
Variation: Skip a three turn entrance and use back crossovers to gain speed for the salchow entry
Purpose: By removing the typical three turn salchow entrance, skaters avoid the lack of control they may experience from the three turn entrance and can feel the control and check needed in the salchow entry. It also helps slow the jump down to experience each phase for longer.
Helps with these common mistakes: Not having control on the salchow entry because of the momentum from the salchow entrance. Not having enough control to initiate the salchow take-off from the entry.
Associated skating element: Salchow
Rotational direction demonstrated: Counterclockwise
Equipment: No equipment
