Purpose: Skaters should frequently go through double leg jump progressions starting at 1/4 turns and increasing up to their maximum.

Rotating both directions is good for skaters to improve their ability to turn both ways and also for injury prevention.
Focus: Vertical height, axis, tight air position, basic technique, injury prevention.
