Tom explains and describes some very helpful jump drills that help his skaters develop control and proper alignment as well as familiar feelings for weight transfers and air positions. The drills build on one another and a total of 8 drills are demonstrated in this video clip. Tom takes the time to point out errors and how to fix them and notes that some of these exercises are very difficult.

I am excited to teach this to my students! I have had them do the backspin/loop drill, but I love starting in the scratch spin and hopping over! Thank you Tom!
