And we're talking triples with the international competitors.<br /><br />That said, the arms can aid rotation (although not in all jumps), but do not create it. Rotation is actually created by torque on the blade, by turning linear momentum into rotational momentum, and by how tight and how quickly you pull in both arms and legs, not by the actual movement or placement of the arms.Alexandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04087069977867729538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-466093691926458332.post-33394367330299785992010-09-17T11:36:05.723-05:002010-09-17T11:36:05.723-05:00I've been wondering about the alternative arm ...I've been wondering about the alternative arm positions for jumps. My coach always told me that it is the arms that give you the rotation in the jump not the legs. If that were true then the arms over the head during a double rev jump wouldn't work. What gives??<br /><br />Silver BladesBaffledhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16763003920036754454noreply@blogger.com
