Work your routine in your yard on the ground. I do all the time. Do splits too. That helps balance.

Is it fun to take mushrooms and go snowboarding?

Socks and linolium! It works wonders.. I love sliding arround the kitchen all day long. It really helps your spins and balance. Also, there is what is called carpet skates. All it is is a slipery material that slides on carpet. They are used for indoor hockey. I've tried them and they work well, but have a higher rate of slipping and falling.. Both are extremely cheep!

Practice all your jumps in your room. make sure that you can't hurt yourself or knock anything over in case you lose your balance. Praticing off ice really helped my axel.

What does "curl" mean?

I would think a spinner helps with centering, because you have to be centered to not fall. But the trouble is you can't work on the entrance.

I personally will start spinning in my socks on the hardwood floor. It is great for spins, though you don't get many revolutions. I think my spins have improved, but who knows.

Also, a good thing to do with jumps and really anything is to work on the moves slowly focusing on every detail. Then do a few mini attempts (like don't jump for jumps ect.) to enforce the technique.

I do that with my jumps almost everyday, but mainly because I just feel like doing it.

Plus you can stretch!!
