Axels are extremely difficult on both the take-off and the landing. Pharaoh has reverted back to incorporating jump practice into his daily exercise routine. “Jumps are important. My whole team needs to jump.” That is Pharaoh’s requirement. He expects every athlete on the JBGODS Skate Team to execute jumps, especially during recreational skate sessions.

Axels are extremely difficult to land and they are extremely scary to attempt.

Don’t feel bad if you don’t get it yet. These are not easy at all. Get yourself a good coach who can already do axels to teach you how to do it. Taking off for an axel on roller skates is very different than attempting it on ice skates. This is no edge to use on roller skates.
