The 3 Common Mistakes Skaters Make in Jumps
Why jumps break down, and how to fix it – free guide
Most jump plateaus don't come from a lack of effort. They come from a small breakdown in movement, milliseconds before take-off.
This free guide shows the three mistakes behind most failed jumps:
-
Rhythm disruptions that drain speed and tilt the rotation axis.
-
Preparation and edge traps that weaken every jump, from Axel to Lutz.
-
Physical bottlenecks that look like technical flaws but aren't.
Want the full method? Jump Mastery covers every phase of every jump, with 55 drills to correct them.
