Jumps Vs. Spins

Okay- so all of you adult skaters- do you like jumping or spinning more?  Me, I like jumping more right now.  But, the only jumps I can do are the 1/2 rotation jumps.  Jumps are scary at first, but once you get them, they aren't any more- they are fun.  Spinning however stays scary b/c once you get it- then you start spinning faster!

I'm still working on getting my one-foot spin from back crossovers.  I have this problem of leaning onto my toepick- I have to work on that.  My problem is, I don't know how to fix it.  Any suggestions?

This week, I'll start to learn how to do the Salchow jump.  My first full rotation jump- the idea scares me, but I'm also really excited about it.  I'll let you know how it goes.

So let me know- spinning or jumping?  Which is better/easier/more fun...and which spin/jump do you like the best/least?

Thanks!
