Almost Landed!
My quest for the elusive double salchow continues. For the past few months, I felt like I have regressed on this element. I continued to land the jump forward and 3-turn out of it. It was incredibly frustrating.
However, after a recent lesson, something clicked. I’m not quite sure what went on in my head, but I was able to tighten up my rotating position and not open up as early on the landing.
Yes, I know that I didn’t successfully land this. But, it’s the closest I have been to a clean jump since July 2019. I feel like I am finally making some progress again. Hopefully I will land a clean one soon!
PS. My jump coach said that this jump was technically clean. WHOO HOO!
Eva, you are almost there! It is very exciting to see the progress on this jump–and to know that once you get it, it will be clean. That means a lot!

That clean jump can’t get here fast enough! I’m just excited that I am finally making some real progress on it. 😄
