Purpose: Doing change foot jumps from stationary is helpful for skaters to improve their consistency and their power because they need to generate vertical height and the rotation without the additional help of momentum from the entry. Skaters should consistently practice change foot stationary progressions from 1/4 turn up to their max rotation to maintain jump consistency.
Focus: Jump consistency, vertical height, air position axis, take-off alignment
