Freestyle 1 Requirements

Hey guys me here again, today I am going to talk about the freestyle 1 requirements. This is a pretty big step up, first of all this is your first real jump, and spin you will be learning! Wow you are getting so advanced now, anyway here are the requirements you will need for this level.

  1. Waltz Jump
  2. Two foot spin
  3. Back edges
  4. Pivot
  5. Spiral
  6. Half Flip
For the waltz jump you want to make sure your leg when you are doing the take goes up and forms the figure of a stair case, transfer your weight, this can be hard even I have trouble so don't worry if you can't do it at first, don't also expect to land it fully the first time, it doesn't just automatically come. For the spin when teaching I noticed one thing about the arms, when you go into it after the wind up you want to have your arms out in front of you then pull them in like your hugging a beach ball, then pull them into your chest and down, this will help for scratch spin. everything else should be pretty easy to learn, the spin and the jump is the trickiest that many people have trouble with.
