Freestyle 1
Advanced forwards stroking Strong Open Strokes around the rink with crossovers at end of rink, emphasis on rise and fall of the knee.
Forward outside and inside edges
Start in T position. Free leg held behind to start and then brought
through to a straight free leg position. Come to a two feet position
and push onto other foot. Good control and balance is essential and no
toe pushing.
Advanced backwards outside three-turn
After moving on a circle the three turn will be executed with the
free leg held in front. Entry and exit edges must be equal to the
skaters height.
Scratch spin from backwards crossovers
Entry with backward crossovers, the free foot is brought in to just
above the skating knee and the position is held for a minimum of 3
revolutions.
Waltz jump from crossovers
Enter with two or three backwards crossovers, the jump must be
controlled and the landing must be held for two times the skaters
height.
Half Flip Jump
Enter with a forward inside Mohawk. The supporting leg is on a slight
inside edge with the other leg extended behind. The extended leg
reaches and taps into the ice, as this happens the skating leg
straightens to give lift. After rotating half a turn land on the
opposite toe from the take off toe and step immediately into a glide on
the opposite leg.
Freestyle 2
Backward outside and inside edges
From standing perform aback push off and hold the edge with the free
foot in front for a quarter of a circle and then rotate the shoulder,
arm and take the free leg back. Once half a circle has been completed
push onto the other leg and repeat. The edges should be performed with
control and balance.
Forward outside and inside spirals in both directions The spirals will be performed on a circle and will be held to two tomes the skaters height.
Progressive Chasse sequence
There are 4 steps to complete the sequence and the sequence should be
repeated to complete a full circle, clockwise and counter clockwise.
RFO; LFI; RFO; LFI clockwise and LFO; RFI; LFO; RFI counter clockwise.
Waltz threes
While moving on a circle the three-turns will be performed with an
extended free leg. The entry and exit edges will be held for three
times the skaters height.
Beginning back spin
Start the spin from a back inside pivot. The spin should be performed
on a back outside edge with the free foot crossed in front. 1 or 2
revolutions are required.
Waltz Jump, side toe hop, Waltz jump
Begin with backward crossovers, this element should be performed with
control and balance and the landing edge must be held for two times the
skaters height.
Toe Loop
After doing a controlled forward inside three turn, the free leg
extends backwards and taps into the ice. The lift is created by the
skating foot drawing level with the tapping foot and continuing into
the air. The landing should be controlled.
Freestyle 3
Forward and backward crossovers in figure eight Performed with good speed, control and no use of the toe picks.
Waltz eight
From standing perform a forward outside three turn change feet and
step to forwards. This sequence should complete a full circle with
control and balance.
Advanced forward swing rolls 4 to 6 swing rolls must be completed with speed and control.
Backward inside three turn
The three-turn must be performed on a circle with the forward inside
edge after the turn being controlled. The free leg position is optional.
Back spin min 3 turns The entry is optional however the exit must be on a controlled back outside edge.
Salchow
After either a three-turn or Mohawk, balance on a back inside edge
with the free leg extended behind. As the free leg moves forwards the
depth of the edge will increase allowing lift to be created as the
supporting leg straightens. Half a rotation will be completed landing
on a controlled backward outside edge.
Half Lutz The jumps will be executed on a backward outside edge in the same manner as the half flip.
Freestyle 4
Spiral sequence
Forward inside spiral Mohawk back outside spiral in both directions.
Each spiral should be held 2 to 3 times the skaters height.
Forward power three-turns - Outside three-turn, step wide, backward crossover, step forward and repeat in both directions.
Backward progressive Chasse sequence
There are four steps to complete the sequence which should be
repeated to complete a full circle. LBO; BBI; LBO; RBI clockwise. RBO;
LBI; RBO; LBI counter clockwise.
Sit spin
The position that should be achieved is a sitting position with the
thigh parallel to the ice with the body leaning forwards. There should
be a minimum of three revolutions.
Loop Jump
After entering from a three-turn or Mohawk, take off a back outside
edge rotating one full turn in the air and land on a back outside edge.
The landing edge should be two times the skaters height.
Waltz Jump Loop Jump Combination this combination should be executed with speed, control and balance.
Freestyle 5
Backward outside three-turn sequence
Backward outside three-turn, forward inside Mohawk into 3 backward
crossovers repeated 3 times clockwise and counter clockwise. Strong
skating edges throughout.
Spiral sequence
Forward outside spiral, forward outside three turn, one backward
crossover, back inside spiral, clockwise and counter clockwise.
Camel Spin After entering from back crossovers 3 revolutions in the camel position must be attained.
Change foot upright spin A minimum of three revolutions on each foot
Loop / loop combination No step or turns between the jumps and a controlled landing of each jump is essential.
Flip jump With either a three turn or Mohawk entry the jump must be performed at speed with a controlled landing.
Waltz jump / Falling Leaf / Toe Loop This jump sequence must be performed at speed with a controlled landing two times the skaters height.
Forward outside slide chasse, swing roll sequence See diagram below:
Freestyle 6
Alternating backward crossovers
After a moving start is achieved perform one backward crossover
followed by an outside edge extension position. Repeat in opposite
direction on new lobe.
Five step Mohawk sequence RFI-LBI Mohawk, RBO, step forwards to a LFO, slide to RFI. Repeat step in an alternating pattern three times.
Camel / Sit spin combination A minimum of 5 revolutions in total is required.
Split Jump or Stag Jump Entry can be from either a Mohawk or a three turn and the landing must be strong.
Waltz jump half Loop Salchow this combination is performed at speed with a controlled landing for 2 times the skaters height.
Lutz Jump Skated at speed with a correct outside edge take off.
Axel (Walk through)
The axel does not have to be landed for this test. The skater should
have a clear understanding of how an axel works and the basic
biomechanics behind the jump.
