Jumps

Jumps are classified as either edge jumps or toe jumps. An edge jump takes off directly from the edge without assist from the other foot; while in a toe jump, the skater spikes the toe picks of the free foot into the ice at the same time jumps off.

Edge jumps:

Axel

It launched on the forward outside edge and landed on the back outside edge of the opposite foot. It has a forward take off but lands backwards. Axel has an extra half rotation.

Salchow

It takes off from a back inside edge and lands on the back outside edge of the opposite foot.

Loop

The Loop jump is a jump that takes off from a back outside edge and lands on the same backwards outside edge.

Toe jumps:

Toe Loop

The Toe Loop takes off from the toe pick, while the other foot travels on the back outside edge.

Flip

In a Flip, the skater "digs" the toe picks (different toe pick from Toe Loop) into the ice while the other foot skates on the back inner edge.

Lutz

In a Lutz, the skater also digs his/her toe pick into the ice jus like in a Flip, but here the other foot skates on the back outside edge.
