14s
Purpose: This drill challenges and improves a skater's ability to do continuous rotation, and also change the conditions within the same drill; going from half a turn to a full turn. It is also challenging to land with control on one foot for the max rotation at the end after doing a few rotations before. Doing jumps with the arms up is a good variation for skaters to work on, and it can also help skaters lift more into the air and keep a straighter axis on their rotation.
Focus: Timing and rhythm, axis, alignment, landing, arm position, spatial awareness
