WHAT IS PRE-ROTATION? The Rules, Scoring, and Misconceptions

There is a lot of discussion about pre-rotation in figure skating, and also a lot of confusion. In this video I give examples of pre-rotation, explain how it is (and isn't) scored, and what I think of it as a whole.
-------------------------------------
These are just my opinions. I am not a judge or a coach. If you are a skater, I'd love to hear your thoughts about the mechanics of jumps and pre-rotation.
