Hey guys and welcome back to another post, in todays post I will be talking about preliminary freeskate test requirements, this test is overall quite simple and is all the basic jumps and spins you learn through out the following ISI levels, freestyle 1-4. Here are the list of moves you will need
- Waltz Jump
- Salchow
- Loop
- Flip
- Waltz Jump-toe loop combo
- One foot (can do Scratch, three revs.)
- Sit spine (three revs.)
- Through out the program you should have some of the moves
In this test you will need to create a program and skate to a piece of music. This I believe has to be one minute and 30 seconds, note that the test is short and they want to see that you are able to do all the requirements so don't spend the time doing a bunch of other stuff. A tip that my coach suggested is that you should have one gap where when you skate the piece if you mess up on a element then use that gap to do that element you messed up, this gives you a second chance before you get a retest on it, unless you mess it up again. Of course to get more credit you want to demonstrate a clean spin with more then required as you may hear from teacher more is better, meaning that doing more then the minimum is good. Remember you only have one retake on one element take advantage of a little gap to do any messed up elements if you mess up. If you still mess up after that make sure thats the only one and they will give you one retake. If you do not mess up and have a gap just do what ever of the required stuff again to fill it in. Good luck and hope for all skaters to pass this test!
