Salchow

9s
Level: Foundation
Base exercise: Salchow walkthrough
Variation: The first salchow lands on the take-off leg rather than the landing leg
Purpose: This drill helps skaters practice the increase of inside edge needed on salchow take-off without the free leg generating too much momentum or driving the rotation.
Helps with these common mistakes: Not having an increase of edge for the salchow take-off leg before moving into rotation, not getting full vertical extension on the jump, free leg too swingy or not checked, skidding or sliding on salchow take-off
Associated skating element: Salchow
Rotational direction demonstrated: Counterclockwise
Equipment: No equipment
