The kicking leg should almost be straight but slightly bent. Nothing should ever be completely straight. Hers was perfect. If you keep it straight you will hurt your knee

@@wouldyounot7971 In an axel, yes. So why not train your legs to wrap into eachother.

In a traditional waltz jump, you keep them straight. But if you are going into axel preparations, you want that bent "h" shape.

@@PauseDraw my mistake, i think i meant while landing, never with a straight knee which will hurt

I've seen it taught on CZcams both ways. With the legs making an upside down V shape, as is done in this video, and also popularly taught to make a bent knee on the free leg, to make an "h" shape. Making an h shape gets your foot higher off the ice, giving the illusion of more height, and also makes for more movement of the feet, making it look like you are doing something more exciting. The V shape will be easier.

Russians are the best

I think because she has really long legs it looks good. my coach says i have really good hip extension and high legs when i jump but mine are short and stubby so it doesnt look like this :(

Thank you!!

not necessarily) I've been doing, well, and now I've been doing figure skating for like 4 years. Well, in the first month, I immediately jumped overboard. Then years have passed, and now I'm jumping a triple axel, working on a four. I hope in the future, it will be useful to me

If you're flexible enough you can do it almost by stepping to backwards without really jumping. If someone can skate fast, skates regularly, they have the strength to and probably even just consider this jump footwork without being a figure skater. The person in the video is just doing it really well (well actually, it could be *even* better so more like moderately well). Still, it's a great video!

@stillx no, a waltz jump is not that complicated. 😊 I did it in 2 months (with this height too, yes!) Lots and lots and lots of training and dare to fall/fail 😉 But what I do see is the poor landing position technique and arms spinning around like crazy. 🙄 that's not how you're taught in your classes! The leg extension on the other hand is beautiful.

@@ess6028 That isn't poor technique. The arms spinning around is a style, your arm should follow your legs just as she did when she landed. Look at kamila valieva.

Если я ре ошибаюсь, то да

Перекидной

@@hudsonlewis1626 she will need a lot more height that's true

@@hudsonlewis1626 Dude I dont think you've ever Ice skated before because that is a decent height and you would know that if you have ever did a jump on ice before.

​@@Toffie497dog I doubles on lock and will soon start on higher jumps. I have been skating since I was 14.... Im 15😽

@@ImmortalHDizzle 😄😄😄

@@Toffie497 I have figure skated for 4 years and she is good but definitely needs more height.
