How Long For Doubles?

How Long Do You Think It Will Take Me To Get All My Doubles, Just Up To A Double Axel ? I Skate Every Day For At Least 2 - 2 1/2 Hours And Do Cardio And Core Strength. I Have Been Inconsistently Landing My Axel.. But I Progress Fast I Guess. I Have Only Been Skating 9 Months. Oh And Also Is There A Age Limit On Competing As A Juvenile Skater?

Thanks!

    You'll be fine once you start landing your axel. Your on- and off-ice workouts sound perfect. Make sure to do off-ice jumping sessions as well. You can take a short lesson with a trainer or your coach to learn how to do it properly.

    Since your axel is inconsistent, you're probably looking at another two or three months before you get close to doubles.

    If you are a Juvenile level skater, there are two categories in competitions: Juvenile (under 13) and Open Juvenile (over 13.) There might also be a "Test Track" event, but not always.

    Check the competition announcement and entry form to see which events and limits are in place.

    9 months! i hate you! jk i wish i progressed that fast!

    you get to skate alot & do alot of stuff to help your skating, youre really really lucky

    i bet a year to get upto double lutz & then a little bit more to get your double axle, but you never know you might get all of your doubles in 6 months or 2 years

    in juvenile if your over 13 you skate in open juvenile, if youre under13 you skate in juvenile, but it really matters on the competition, the little competions where im from there is no open juvenile, just juvenile because there arnt enough skaters to fill up boh categories

  • WTF ? youve only been skating for 9 months !

    HOLY.

    OMG.

    ive been skating since i was 3 and i have most my doubles and i can almost land my double axel when i dont try .

    work on double sal .

    toe

    loop

    lutz (which isnt that popular.)

    flip.

    thats basically it

    no i dont think theres an age limit to be competitve.

    or whatever you wanna do.

    you just have to do the test ( axel, 2 doubles )

    and there, if you pass . you pass.

    if you dont your not competitve.

    im going competitive soon when i land my double toe
