This is very interesting.
But you could see why people would be so skeptical . . . .considering no one does a QUAD axel . . . and certainly we should be hearing about you in the news!
If you had all your other jumps, that must mean you have all your other QUADS down to even be near landing a QUAD axel. Thus far, I don't think anyone has successfully gone beyond a QUAD toe . . . so for you to be almost landing a QUAD axel would be pretty amazing.
Here is a guy who makes a real attempt . . .but he isn't even quite all the way around . . . he can rotate but seems to be getting lost in the air (not knowing when to land). Leg slipping is not the issue.

Anyone almost landing a real QUAD axel probably would have more sense than to ask Y!A . . . it'd be better and safer to ask a good coach who can supervise you! People here are going to believe this question as much as they believe these quad axel videos:

Good luck.

Hahaha, now Sweetie, if you had any knowledge of figure skating at all you would know that no one does a quad axel. As for your single axel, be sure that you keep your body aligned during take off - this should help with your leg slipping.
