Figure Skating | The SIX Different Jumps For Figure Skaters

Did you know there are six different figure skating jumps? Three edge jumps and three toe-pick jumps. Of course there are many other little hops and smaller jumps, but these six main jumps have all been done with quad rotation and are definitely in a league of their own. But the real test can be telling them all apart...which can be challenging if you're new to the sport.

So in this lesson we're going to show you the difference between each of the 6 jumps and how you can tell them apart when you're out on the ice next. Plus we'll show you our go-to entries and the main focus points for each jump!

In this lesson you'll learn:

- What the SIX different figure skating jumps look like
- The different entries you can use for each jump
- Our main focus for each jump

Happy Skating!

i'm not a skater but i do classical ballet so likee lowkey gonna slay when i try these for the first time i go ice skating in 6 years . obviously

[TheLarryBrown]

Great video. Kind of morphed from a "how to recognize them" to "how to do them, " but I like that.

[zozo]

this is a great breakdown for all 6 jumps! i have all of my singles (except axel) and currently fixing my flutz which is very frustrating and challenging 😅lately i have been holding the outside edge longer and better which is good. is it possible for you guys to make a video on how to fix a flutz?

I'm loving the videos from this channel! I've been binge watching your videos.
It would also be helpful to include slow-mo replays of the exercises/jumps/skills you show. Even though you explain everything well, I'm a visual learner and some of the replays are too fast for my eyes 🙈

I loved this video, you explained very well, it was very clear!! Really helpful and enjoyable to watch. Thank you!

6:10 brought back memories we used to do that in the open gate and have to hang out up there for a few seconds

Dialing in the nutrition helps CRUSH those jumps as well! Great video!

[catherinewebley]

thank you for this!!
I just learned my first jump (Waltz jump).
Is it normal at this stage to still have difficulty identifying the different jumps?
Axel is distinctive but despite watching many videos, I am still a bit unsure of the others. Would at least now be able to tell between edge and toe pick jumps.

Thanks for taking back to when me son use to skate. He reached novice level skating pairs. Then his partner went to college. He tried dance before he went to college. If he started adult skating would he have to take all the Adult tests?

I have been trying the lutz from Bach cross over, keep right over left leg, tap with my right, then I can't control and need up doing a half Lutz. I will try to do it with power pull like you. It seems that I will have less thing to think about. 😂
Thanks again

It all looks easy and lovely, until I'm the one on the ice, the sole idea of jumping is scary. I'm gonna start with the salchow and loop jump and see from there.

[Angelika]

So technicallt a salchow jump is a forward jump too, right? Because you kinda have a half turn before jumping.
Also do you have to put down the right foot edge when doing the slachow? Our trainer shows us the salchow with the foot not touching the eyes but staying up...

[khkikqm]

you should do a video like you did for the loop but with salchows! i just finally figured out the traditional entry for my loop but the two-footed entry for salchows is still a little odd to me (i kinda hate them in general tbh lol)

[katerinahejlova]

Great tutorial! ❤🙏🏻 Does any other entry exist for lutz jump? I have no problems to jump a flip, but somehow I cannot get over the fear to jump a lutz 😔

[mademoiselledusfonctionell]

'Scuse me, but Salchow is pronounced sal-cohv (not sal-cow)
and Lutz is pronounced Lootz (not Lahtz).
