Same [emoji23] I think if I want to land my axel, I'm going to have to just go for it and stop holding back [emoji51]
maybe try using bum pads? It might help with the nerves if you know that if you fall it won't hurt? Sorry I'm not much help! [emoji51]
Yes I've been thinking the same thing! Easier said than done though [emoji28] .
I'm been looking into investing some bum pads - it may be the security i need to actually attempt axels jumps!

Have you tried from forward swing rolls? You have to really focus on the down, up motion on the skating leg and the straight through motion of the free leg

Hmm I've never tried that! I'm struggling with my axels too and this is helpful! Thanks!
