Level: Foundation
Base exercise: Single leg stationary change foot
Variation: 1 turn, consecutive
Purpose: Practicing single leg stationary axel take-offs is important so that skaters can focus on the stability and quality of their take-off position into their follow through. If skaters are practicing the jump with momentum from an entrance, they can often lose the quality of their take-off position and generate the rotation from their speed rather than proper form
Focus: Take-off, consistency, stationary
Direction: Counterclockwise
Equipment: No Equipment
