Systematic Figure Skating - Volume III: Jumps - VHS

Jumps is the third video in this highly acclaimed series. True to his teaching methodology, where mastery of one element prepares the student for a more complicated maneuver, each volume in the series builds upon the basics contained in its predecessor.

Volume III features Paul Wylie and other skaters "on lessons" with Mr. Lussi, receiving step-by-step instruction on the salcow, flip, lutz, loop, axel, and combination spins.

"His really is the foundation of technique . . . no one will ever, ever be able to get away from it, because it's based on sound, fundamental concepts" John Misha Petkevich, North American and U.S. Champion, sports commentator, and former Lussi student.

1962 World Champion Don Jackson says that he always thinks of "Gus Lussi as the pioneer of the double jumps . . . and the triple jumps because he had Dick Button doing the double Axel and triple loop . . . the first time they were being done". Ron Ludington recalls that Mr. Lussi devised "a more efficient way of jumping" and "the flying sit spin, the flying camel, the Hamill camel" PS Magazine Jan/Feb 1993.

Gus Lussi taught me how to skate. He taught me how to jump, and he taught me how to spin" Dorothy Hamill, 1976 Olympic Champion, and former Lussi student, PBS documentary "Gustave Lussi: The Man Who Changed Skating".

This series is a "unique opportunity to learn from a great master. Visually explicit, fasinating to follow . . . this video captures the essence of Mr. Lussi's technique while demonstrating clearly how to attain it" Meg Streeter, producer, Magic Memories on Ice.
