Question:I'm not sure if i'm doing it right. I've been taught do do two shanys then the axil part is where you kinda hop up on one leg with the other lifted up. I'd like to have a link of a video or something of one being done to see if I have the right idea

Axel Turn: An axle turn is basically two turns in one. It starts with a chainé turn then without stopping one leg goes to passé position and the other joins it in a jump before landing. The arms pull in for the chainé - then for the axel jump one stays in first position front while the other opens to second then circles above your head and down.
