Hello welcome back to the ice skating blog and today I am going to go over the freestyle 3 requirements, now you are getting into more complex things such as harder elements, and harder dance sequences, unfortunately I do not know these dance sequences or forgot them so I can't really help you there. You will need
- Salchow
- Change foot spin
- Dance Sequence
- Back Spiral
- Toe loop
- Back pivot
For the salchow you want to make sure when doing the three turn you check check take off and when doing it try not to make the three turn swingy, like keep your free leg (the one your not standing on) close to your other leg. For the toe loop make sure you don't pre rotate which is when your shoulders rotate before your whole body does. This can be tricky especially when you get to double and triple toe. The back spiral and forward ones, make sure you back is arched, you leg is at least at the waist and you hold it 4 times your body length. The change foot spin is quite tricky at first and some skaters like, my sister can agree. When doing a change foot you are doing three revolutions for the one foot, three for the back, and three again for the forward. An exercise my coach in LA taught me is to do it from forward to back ward to forward pivots, this really helps so I would recommend doing this if you are having trouble. Pivots are quite easy to learn so the back one you should have down quickly and likely before the change foot.
