Single Jumps

Single jumps get the shaft in figure skating. For those with Olympic stars in their eyes, singles are just a stepping stone to greater revolution, and we never see them again except maybe on a warm up, or if you screw up and pop a jump in competition.

But if you don't learn your single jumps properly, you're going to hit some major walls (and sometimes the rink boards) when you try to up the technical ante.

This video has some great slow-mo footage of technically stellar single jumps, to give you an idea of how they should look if you want to do triples, or even quads some day.
