Hey guys!
Up until recently, my axel has been pretty consistent (it's been consistent for 2 weeks). However, this week during practice, my axel seemed to be deteriorating. I've been landing less and less and during practice yesterday, I only landed a sum total of 3 of them.
When I 'fall', I fall forwards. My training mates and coach has been telling me that it's because my body is unstable in the air (I lean forward too much), but no one can find a solution for me. Does anyone have any advice? I have been told to swing my arms forward rather than sideways and to make my back straighter during takeoff. I know it's hard to find help if I don't have a recording, but any general advice please?
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
P.S. I skated for about 3 years but then quit for another 3 and just started up last month again
