I’m surprised my pants didn’t split 😂 #lutz
If you could only do one figure skating jump for the rest of your life, which one would you choose to learn/keep? I am definitely staying with my imperfect lutz🤍🤍 #adultskater #figureskating #фигурноекатание #фигурноекатаниелюбители #lutz

Starting the lutz from standstill helps skaters feel the pressure of the outside edge and the control of the skating hop to maintain engagement in order for the weight not to release too early to the picking side. This teaches skaters how to build pressure into the edge. Help your young skater train smarter with FLEXAFIT EDGE.

One thing about me is I WILL always check your lutz takeoff edge during jump class in my seminars 💅🏻 ^In the video above is an adorable skater named Elsie doing the lutz edge exercises I gave her in Copenhagen last week.💞 When correcting your lutz edge, you want to make sure you are jumping directionally on the outside edge of a circle, not the inside edge. This is why I like doing lutz edge drawback exercises around the red circle to practice identifying the feeling of staying on the outside curve. If you do a straight line lutz, make sure to set on one foot before reaching back to tap. When you reach back, you want to control the direction of your jump to go backwards, and your edge to tilt outside on the curve during the drawback BEFORE rotating. If you rotate too early before your edge has fully drawn back, you risk changing edge to the inside because your body is shifting the direction. *This is why pre-rotating often leads to flutzes! Don’t tap like a flip. Tap like a lutz❤️‍🔥 Let me know if you try these exercises!🫡 #figureskating #figureskater #iceskating #iceskater #skating #skatingtips #skatingskills #lutz #lutzjump #outsideedge #jumps #jumptips #skatingcoach #skatingtutorial

GUYS LOOK IT'S ACTUALLY FEASIBLE!! 🤩 This was my first landed triple+triple since my labrum repair surgery in January of 2021. I remember when I was initially coming back from that recovery and getting back into jumping, I tried to work on a couple 2F+3Lo and it felt BAD. Bad as in it definitely wasn't good for my hip, especially because according to my surgeon I'm working on a time scale of "when" not "if" my labrum is going to tear again and I'm not trying to play that game! So I resigned myself to the fact that 3F+3Lo was just not in the cards for me anymore. This time around, though, I've done some stellar 2+3 so my brain was like "maaaaaybeeeee" but I still didn't really think I'd be able to. Then I accidentally did one on Thursday. I fell on it, but it was clean and it was technically sound and I was honestly shocked! I've been trying to get used to landing flip in a loop takeoff for 3+2, and that one was truly an accidental full send triple. I'm not even gonna lie I got a little emotional in the car later because I very much did not think I'd ever do one again. So yeah, if you've made it this far thank you for reading! I'm so looking forward to doing these for real again :') . . . . #iceskater #iceskate #iceskating #figureskater #figureskate #figureskating #figureskating_amazing #lutz #triplejump #morning #fypage #fypシ #foryou #foryoupage #usfigureskating #isu #reels #pretty #athletesofinstagram #athlete #jacksonultima #johnwilson #jumps #explorepage #explore #фигурноекатани

I've gotten a bunch of comments asking for a tutorial or exercises for how I fixed my Flutz, so here are the exercises that I used the most! I found these most effective when paired with not doing any lutzes at all so that my body could forget its muscle memory, but obviously that's not an option for everyone! These still help enforce that outside edge takeoff. 1. Start small! You're retraining something your body has gotten used to, so it's good to start with easy movements to get into it. A lot of people (myself included) want to practice a Lutz takeoff with the foot going straight into a rotating position, but it actually needs to pass through on the inside of your tap so you can get into the air. 2. Similar motion but now adding speed! The best thing for me was thinking of a Lutz takeoff as a counter. Make sure your head stays straight on this as if you were actually going to jump, and focus on trying to be aggressive on the pull before turning! 3. Add a tap! Same motion as the counter exercise, but now the turn happens in the air instead of on the ice. Again, keep the head still and be aggressive of the edge before tap. It won't really be this aggressive when you're actually doing a Lutz but it does help ingrain the outside edge motion and the way your body has to move with it into the air in your muscle memory. If you made it this far, thank you very much for watching and reading! I learned these exercises from Ilia Kulik back in 2011/12 when he made it his personal mission during one freestyle session to help me fix my HORRIBLE Flutz. I did these while I was recovering from an injury, but I think even just a week of no lutzes and just these would make a difference! 🌼Happy Lutzing!🌼 . . . . #iceskater #iceskate #iceskating #figureskater #figureskate #figureskating #figureskating_amazing #lutz #triplejump #morning #fypage #fypシ #foryou #foryoupage #usfigureskating #isu #reels #pretty #athletesofinstagram #athlete #jacksonultima #johnwilson #jumps #explorepage #explore #фигурноекатание
Do you flutz or lutz? Doing a real lutz on an outside edge is one of the most challenging skills in skating — here’s my favorite edge exercise for getting that proper technique on lutz👆🏻 FLIP VS LUTZ: -Tap straight back to the right on a flip and drag back your edge on the inside -Tap cross back to the left on a lutz and drag back your edge on the outside AT THE BOARD: -Tilt your foot aggressively to the outside and drag it back 10x -Feel that same motion on a lutz tap walk through 10x ON THE CIRCLE: -Practice the Lutz tap edge drag around the circle 10x (Make sure you’re feeling your left foot tilt aggressively to the outside edge, weight on the ball of the foot. Don’t just bring it through flat! Tilt the edge) -Once you consistently feel the outside edge pull through, you can start to do half lutzes, single lutzes, and double lutzes around the circle as an exercise. -Once those are consistently taking off outside, transfer that edge feeling to your normal lutz pattern✨ Preserving the integrity of true lutz technique is important to me, and I’ve seen these exercises correct flutzes quite a few times!
