Purpose: This drill challenges and improves a skater's ability to do continuous rotation, and also change the conditions within the same drill. Skaters need to be able to know where they are in space to do the 1/2 turns followed by the 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. Skaters should continue to do drills with lower rotation amounts, such as 1/2 even when they can do more in max rottion. This helps them keep an awareness of how much power to give for a certain rotation amount and how to control the landing even when they have more power and vertical height.
Focus: Reactivity, continuous rotation, jump landing control, timing and rhythm, jump combos, spatial awareness
