Hi guys, Gypsy from the Skate Truck NYC, we're going to learn how to do a Salchow right now. So a Salchow is a jump used for figure skating, and it can also be incorporated into a dance moves as well. So you're going to start skating backwards on your left foot, left arm in front, right arm to the side. Your right foot will be slightly behind your left, knees bent. You're going to take a nice sweeping round with your right foot, when it comes up to the front, your knee lifts, and your arms close around. As you do your rotation, you're actually going to jump up, it's a one full rotation, starting backwards, landing backwards, starting on your left foot, landing on your right.
So you start here again, knees bent, nice sweeping motion around, your right knee comes up, right arm turns as you twist, you land with your right foot, left foot forward, and then check your rotation, and then land. So from this side, knees bent, a nice round sweeping up, a nice twist, land on your right foot, left foot kicks forward, check your rotation with a nice pretty landing. Okay? So this is what a Salchow looks like. So when you bring your foot around, you can either use your toe stop to jump up, or just jump from four wheels. So it's much easier to use your toe stop than it is to jump off from your four wheel. Make sure when you rotate, you start by contracting your core, landing on your right foot, left foot forward pointing your toe, arms out, with a nice pretty finish at the end. And that is how you do a Salchow.

[@Phoenixwings9]

believe it or not, this improved my salchow in ice skating, thank you

[@gypsylucas7062]

Fantastic!

[@vital7879]

Fantastic!

[@korbirkorbir6877]

This is NOT a salchow, not even close, and it was even a well executed turn, please please do not follow these instructions if you tried to do a double or triple this way you could be injured!

[@amck.2032]

Do you have a video or some sort of tutorial on how to do it right? I'm just learning Salchows now and I need advice :/

[@candybailes2044]

When you start bringing your freeleg around to rotate, your weight should be on your right leg on an inside edge of your big toe area. When your free leg and shoulders start to get to the point of the your free leg goes in front of you, you twist your body around and up. When you do that, that is when to start your jump. Stay complely off of your toe stop, your toe stop is NOT to used in this jump, be it a single, double, or triple rotation.

[@yournightmare9438]

Please tell me I'm not the only one who can see she cannot do this jump. She's literally rotating half of the jump on the ground and then she's just hopping to the other foot.

[@richl9268]

Lol tru well she also doesn't have the typical figure skater's body to be fair

[@emmaholt8071]

She basically is telling us to do a completely different jump! I'm learning this jump because I am going to do artistic roller skating compertitions and my coach said I have to jumps straight there and then and not turn half way then hop on the other foot (effectively found to threw loop!) x

[@ArtisticSkater3399]

xoxoHamsterSelfiesxoxo I agree! She is also using her toe stop. For a single salchow with a toe stop it is counted as a cheated jump if this was in a competition it would effect her T.M. A toe stop can ONLY be used for this jump when attempting a double or triple, it doesn't help that she rotated half of it on the ground anyway x

[@emmaholt8071]

I have now learnt to Salchow and I use my stopper but only to jump off of it and then try to do a full 360 degree jump sometimes it's less but I try to use the jump for the majority of the rotation x

[@PuddinTater]

+Maddie Duggin Absolutely correct. The jump she did was cheated.

[@ccbb6865]

This salvhow is incorrect. There was absolutely no jump and she turned before she jumped. She literally spun it around and stepped back when it's supposed to be a jump. There was no proper teaching of the edges like said below.

[@mr.spazbubbles438]

+CC AA Oh shut up there was to a jump she did it right how about you do it

[@ccbb6865]

+Mr. SpazBubbles Yeah, I would. I'll post a video soon

[@mr.spazbubbles438]

CC AA sure you will

[@DaFoxxx28]

@CC AA, i looked, where is your video showing how to do this properly? It's been a year since your post

[@joeku777]

DaFoxxx28 I don't think u will see that vid.

[@leewayneblue9339]

How could this improve your jump shes not doing it right???

[@denniesebennett1079]

This is not a good demonstration of how to do a correct salchow. There was no instruction on proper edge take off and landings in this demonstration. The proper take off is on a backwards left inside edge and the proper edge for landing this ump is a backwards right outside edge. This demonstrations shows take off and landings both on a flat edge with no curving. Upper body and leg lift were decent but the point of using a toestop on a salchow at any point in the jump is incorrect. The salchow is an edge jump not a toe assisted jump that involves the use of a toe stop on takeoffs such as a mapes (toe loop), toe walley or flip or lutz. Toestops are never used on any correct jump in the landings unless it is a one and a half revolution jump..

[@beepee2005]

To be blunt with the jump, this is a back outside 3 turn into a waltz jump, in very quick succession. For a salchow, you'll want to feel like you're on your foots outside backwards rollers more, then make your rotation jump. My most common entry on figure skates to the set up is a mohawk, I just feel like I get into position in a more focused state than other entries. Otherwise, it's a good basic demonstration effort

[@tracyjohnson4299]

You can NOT do a Salchow correctly and use your toe stop!!

[@tracyjohnson4299]

Not having a typical figure skaters body does not keep you from knowing proper technique.

[@leewayneblue9339]

Tracy Johnson not true look in usars rule book!

[@kitcot7878]

no, if you look at ANYONE doing a triple salchow (the same jump just 3 times round instead of 1 btw) on roller skates and you slow it down you will find out that they use their toe stop, so therefore it is allowed

[@renato_guerrini_neto]

Your classes are amazing, thank you.

[@stena4108]

I compete in roller skating and I had to do that trick in March 3thrird 2014 and it takes time and my teachers didn't see me do my first one because I did it at home!! Your video taught me how!! My teachers did not believe me either so I had to show them. Thank you VERY VERY VERY VERY much!! :) :D :3 :3D :3)

[@gypsylucas7062]

Fantastic! Glad to help!

[@paragonstarfall]

I'm trying this on roller blades with four wheels in a single row. Is jumping the only way to do the rotation for me?

[@Jarek662]

hey everyboy i wasbouth the roller 4 days ago i can do the rie and now i want to learn some trick but there is my wuestion brcouse the girl on the ieo has got rollet with 4 circles one near 2nd when i have 4 circles one by one this it some kind if diffrent in this in this case. pls answer me

[@kitcot7878]

despite what most people think, this is actually the correct way of doing a salchow (at least for a single*) this is because 1. you are allowed to use your toe stop in order for professionals to do triples 2. if you look at any professional skater perform a triple (or quads for ice) and slow it down you will notice that they do in fact make 1/2 revolutions on the ground before jumping for again, the same reasons as in point no. 1 *I say single because the technique shown in the video will only work for a single, if you want to doubles/triples then you will have to adopt a better technique

[@candybailes2261]

Nope, you are doing a three turn or waltz jump. In roller skating you do NOT use your toe stop for this jump.

[@AlexBosworth-ww9tr]

@@candybailes2261actually you do and I think it’s different from how different coaches teach it, but in uk most coaches will teach with a toe stop because it’s much easier and if you watch international competitions almost everyone jumps salchow with the toe stop.

[@candybailes2261]

@@AlexBosworth-ww9tr No, this jump is NOT in anyway a jump you use your toestop with! Just like an axel, except an axel starts with a step forward and a one and a half rotation, with a salchoe you start out backwards and neither jump uses a toestop. If one used their toestop on going into those jumps or coming out of the jumps, you would have points removed from your score, as you would not have completed a full rotation or one and a half rotation axel. In this video, this person in NO way has preformed a salchow!! Using ones toestop would be considered as trying to get away with cheating, by NOT doing one full rotation, which is a single solchow. Pairs skaters do throw salchows and axel jumps because NO toestops or toe picks are used. A salchow and an axel are edge jumps and not toestop or pick jumps.

[@machomanOOOOHYEEEAH]

Hi, what brand and model are your skates? Thanks

[@queeng508]

yall i don't really think this is meant to be 100% correct to perform on competitions, instead i think the goal here was just to be able to do a jump that resamples the competitive one but made easier or at least thats what i got from this video and the way she spoke about it

[@helsawayton9696]

Hmm, pretty accurate, except a true Salchow is a jump from the inside edge wheels, not from the toe stop. Using or turning on the toe stop is cheating, and in tests and competition should receive a deduction.

[@leacejellybean8656]

Yes, it's more of a split jump but still brilliant

[@kitcot7878]

no, using a toe stop is allowed, if you look at anyone doing a triple (3 times round instead of 1) slowed down then you will find that they use their toe stop and get zero deductions, so it is not cheating

[@russellstraight9991]

You're correct using your toe stop is cheating

[@helenletts8049]

Using a toe stop is allowed. From an artistic pov, we used to teach students to use their toe stop from the beginning, but you start on your inside edge and as you go to jump, you transfer up to you toe stop then jump from that.. From singles and upwards, Toe stops are allowed, but you must have a firm inside edge that is before it to make it count. You can learn it without, but many prefer with. Either all is accepted in ocmpetition.

[@candybailes2044]

Toe stops are not allowed in this jump, just like an axel, you do not use your toe stop. Doing so makes it a form of cheating as well.

[@eddyb8201]

Love your skates

[@littlemissapplecore]

This was so much more useful than all the ice skating videos omg thank you

[@Njx063]

this isn't even correct.. stop being lazy and actually look for ice skating videos

[@mazzybananas]

What's her wheel hardness?

[@egan79]

Please don't listen to this a salchow is NOT off your toe stop if you try to jump off your toe stop for a salchow at speed you will fail a good tip for tucking your arms in put a sock or boot cover in your right hand when you jump pass the sock or boot cover over to your left hand that will then make you tuck so you have the correct rotation for the jump this is used for any type of jump inc doubles or triples

[@lazypotato4917]

Can i ask you a question:is it normal that the toe stop is like kimda melting??

[@egan79]

Melting? Never heard that before they can wear down after a while it depends on what toe stops you have go onto a website called skatermate I get everything from them the owner name Keith Marsh he should sort you out also use the T stop its better left foot in front left foot behind In the shape of a T upside down

[@lazypotato4917]

+Jordan Egan roller figure skater not really melting but i asked the company where i bought my rollerskate they told that it's normal because toe stop finish and then you have to buy another one is it true or are they just lying??

[@egan79]

Soy luna c'est la vie your toe stops do wear down after a while depending on how often you use them

[@lazypotato4917]

Ohh thank you i didn't know that

[@stevenvalencia6353]

thats not even a full revolution thats a half rotation sal

[@applepi3191]

You're spinning literally the whole way and jumping at the end lol, as soon as the block touches the floor jump straight up.

[@life_sucks666]

Umm So no matter how many Times you turn around in the air (or if you not) ITS still a FOR example salchow?

[@RamonAlfonsoOMAR]

I'm disagere about teaching artistic roller skating by a speed roller skater, the salchow is a jump not a turn with the stops......

[@skateymcskateface8367]

this comment section is VICIOUS. Chill out. This is to teach a rec skater how to jump and maybe go to a disco and show off some sweet moves. Unless you are delusional, you are most likely aware people looking to compete in this sport won't turn to "Howcast" for coaching information? For all intents and purposes this is a salchow. Right edge, right direction, right rotation. Technique isn't perfect and thats fine because im assuming she's not about to throwon a coaches badge and teach some competitive roller skaters.

[@cathyswelt2709]

Thank you for these videos! They are so helpful! :)

[@jfluter]

Do roller skaters also enter the Salchow jump from a 3-turn or mohawk, like in figure skating? It seems very difficult to enter the jump from a backward crossover.

[@egan79]

I enter my salchow from a 3-turn.... A tip from a roller figure skating coach you NEVER jump off your toe stop for a salchow the only time you jump from your toe stop is for a flip or toe loop ect

[@candybailes2044]

True, but doing a three turn before going into this jump, makes it to easy to cheat in the rotation.

[@shebinbabu221]

Good job 👏 👍 👌

[@kkpoi3839]

厉害了 我的哥！

[@Senoritaugly]

Lead with the heel of your right foot, not the toes

[@kevinn4592]

i'll never try this but you look super smooth doing it. great job.

[@Berserk1080]

I would imagine it's very hard and risky to do a proper salchow or axel or mapes when you are on asphalt.

[@candybailes2044]

It makes a huge difference if one has outside skating wheels and not the indoor wheels.

[@juanrodriguez-jl8kd]

what name are those skates

[@Arcticmanatee]

Luigino Vertigo Q-6

[@Njx063]

you went up in the air 3/4 of the jump and a salchow is a half turn. Also you used your toe stop and a salchow is an edge jump.

[@sydney.564]

lowkey she just did a waltz jump which is a really bad habit

[@juliaconstantino7498]

THANK YOUUUUU

[@TenduYou]

It's very difficult with speed skates on to get any air - they're much heavier.

[@emmaholt8071]

It's also really hard with artistic roller skates too I am learning the Salchow on artistic roller skates and I come away from training and my ankles and feet and also my legs hurt so much because 1. I'm still breaking in my new skates and 2. A Salchow is hard to master Nobody in my team likes the Salchow! X

[@NlSETSUMURI]

THIS IS POSSIBLE????

[@thevincenttrann]

I thought she was gonna do a lutz for a split second

[@chaeblur]

DANG PEOPLE DO THIS ON ROLLERSKATES? I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ON ICESKATEZ

[@jimmusic9114]

Hi! This is figure roller skating, please check it online, tho this jump is not right, but you should see the real ones, the double and triple salchows. It's awesome!

[@jamie3407]

Idk why I am watching this. I am a figure skater and can already do a salchow 😂 Just seeing if it is different in roller skating

[@tracyjohnson4299]

Lee Wayne Blue ..... copied from the rule book 4.2.2 Take-Off  Correct edge as listed for the jump Not hooked - any tendency for the skate to turn will result in a break of momentum No un permitted use of toe stops especially on Salchow and LoopIf you have found someplace where it does say that toe stops are acceptable, then that's a shame because they're teaching this jump incorrectly . I have seen such a decline in what's acceptable in rollerskating in the past years that I'm saddened to see what has become of a sport I loved so passionately. Granted I am not as involved as I used to be but when I watch the US skaters, compared to those abroad, you can see that other countries have surpassed us technically and until we start doing things correctly they will continue to beat us .

[@TF856]

European style skating and rules are different than they are in the United States that's why American skaters doing American Style skating don't do well in European contests. I competed on the west coast for several years in the sixties and seventies and that is the time period when they tried to get all of us to change over to the Europeans style of stating that I did not like. That's one of the reasons why I left, also because I did not like the plastic floors. Also, most rinks played music from Rinx records that I didn't like. Don Simmons music from Oaks Amusement Park in Portland Oregon was much preferred by many people. But his music is now very hard to find except for one large file online that has 60 some odd songs in it that are poorly copied. P.S. I was mainly a dance skater and I could do triple salchows correctly.

[@fablefaces3785]

This is not a salchow. A salchow is entered from the front into an outside three turn where you then spin to the front where you jump onto the other leg in a landing position to the outside edge! Bit embarrassing 🙈

[@esmegraceee]

Fable Faces you can start with a back pull into it you don’t have to do the three turn all though I do find it easier as it’s in my free dance

[@ellystumpf4130]

dunno if this is the same for ice figure skating, but that is not a salchow

[@jeanoville7180]

Thank you for the video I really rnjy rollet skating in the street

[@quan7007]

I figure skate and this is not a correct way to do a salcow and I know people are going to say that I bet you can’t do it but I have a double axel and triple salcow and just to do a single is so easy and this is just bad

[@homiekhhan7955]

U literally do this if ur a good skater without trying

[@zoeygrissom9855]

i just lernd how to with my mom😀😄

[@honeycinnamon4329]

okay if you are going to teach people how to do something you have to know how to do it already so please learn

[@gulilga35]

[@lemongabbie777]

Thank you!!

[@ilyry2472]

You shouldn't do any jumps without ankle suuport, because you can brake it and it'll be tragedy.

[@vivian-dc8nj]

THIS IS CLEARLY NOT A SALCHOW What the Heck?

[@carysgunnell2130]

as a figure skater this was so cringe it is not in any way salchow she didn’t even jump...

[@DaFoxxx28]

What's up with all the cry baby men out there whining about everything online? Just watch the video, if you don't like it, move on, i guarantee 99.9999% on here crying can't skate 2% as good as she can

[@sezrekahneldar4058]

Did you just assume their genders?

[@laughysophie8818]

You're giving out false information. If anything, this is just a spin, just like your "waltz jump". You didn't even jump.

[@trashcant69]

You should definitly not jump in these shoes! You don't have any ankle Support in them and could seriously injure yourself! Also you should not go on your stopper/toepick while doing it, it's an EDGE jump.

[@kirztal5577]

meh, kinda. My coach is one of Britain's best rollerskaters so he taught me well. He told me to jump from my toe stop. ANYWAY am i the olny one who can see that she hasnt nailed the jump yet?

[@TF856]

European rules are different for many things in roller skating from the US so they do things differently than we do. That's why american style skaters don't do well in European contests.

[@user-ol8gl3yj1h]

That's...not a salchow...

[@ambermcculloch6591]

It's not even how you do it
