Figure Skating Jumps - Other Jumps

Other Jumps

There are also a number of other jumps which are usually performed only as single jumps and in elite skating are used as transitional movements or highlights in step sequences. With the exception of the half loop, none of these jumps have assigned point values under the ISU Judging System. These include:

• Bunny hop jump, a non-rotational jump that is typically the first jump learned by beginning skaters.
• Waltz jump, a one-half rotation jump that forms the basis for the axel jump.
• Ballet jump, a one-half rotation jump with a toe loop entrance.
• Mazurka, a one-half rotation jump with a toe loop entrance and scissor leg action in the air.
• Half flip, a one-half rotation jump with a flip entry and forward toe-pick assisted landing.
• Half lutz, a one-half rotation jump with a lutz entry and forward toe-pick assisted landing.
• Falling leaf, a one-half rotation jump with a loop entry and forward toe-pick assisted landing.
• Split jump, with either a flip, lutz, or loop entry and split or straddle position in the air.
• Stag jump, a variation on the split jump.
• Walley jump, a full-rotation edge jump with a counter-rotated entry from a back inside edge to the back outside edge of the same foot.
• Toe walley, a variation on the toe loop with an inside edge takeoff.
• Half loop (also known as a "Euler" or "Thoren"), a full-rotation jump with a loop entry but landed on the back inside edge of the opposite foot. When performed in the middle of a combination, a half loop is worth the same as a single loop under the ISU Judging System.
• Half axel (also known as a "Bell jump"), a one-rotation jump with an axel entry and a forward landing.
• Delayed axel, an axel jump in which the skater delays the rotation in the air.
• Open axel, an axel jump in which the skater maintains an open body position in the air instead of pulling in to a back spin position.
• Tuck axel, an axel jump in which the skater lifts both knees into a tuck position at the height of the jump.
• Inside axel (also known as a "Boeckl"), a one-and-a-half-rotation jump that takes off from the right forward inside edge and lands on the back outside edge of the same foot.
• One-foot axel (also known as a "Colledge"), a one-and-a-half-rotation jump with a regular axel takeoff from the left forward outside edge, but landing on the left back inside edge.
• One-foot salchow, a variation on the salchow with a landing on a back inside edge.
• One-foot lutz, a variation on the lutz with a landing on a back inside edge.
• Toeless lutz, a counter-rotated edge jump with a takeoff from the back outside edge of the left foot and landing on the back outside edge of the other foot.
• One-and-a-half flip, with a flip entry and forward landing.
• One-and-a-half toe loop, with a toe loop entry and forward landing.

Additionally:

• A flutz is a flawed lutz jump, that takes off from an inside edge (like a flip jump) instead of the intended outside edge.
• A lip is a flawed flip jump, that takes off from an outside edge (like a lutz jump) instead of the intended inside edge.
• A toe axel is a flawed double toe loop jump, in which the skater pre-rotates the jump and takes off by stepping forward onto the toe pick.
• A waxel is a failed axel attempt, in which the skater slips off the takeoff edge, often resulting in a fall.
