Recognizing the Jumps
Flip (bi! 1 Tbo)
The
flip jump is a toe-assisted jump which has the same take-off
and landing edges as the Salchow.
It launches off a LBI edge (right toe-pick assist) and lands
on the traditional RBO. The normal preparation is quite a
bit different however. It is usually entered from a very
straight (flat) forward glide on the left foot. The free
foot (right) will be held up in the air in front of the
skater. Just prior to the jump, the free leg will drop back,
tap the ice and push the skater around in a LFO 3-turn, so that he
is on a shallow LBI edge. The right foot goes directly
behind the skater, picks the ice and “pulls” the skater
up into the air.
Some skaters will substitute an RFI-LBI mohawk for the LFO 3-turn prior to the jump. In the images below, Nikki performs her double flip from a 3-turn entry, Jaime does her flip from a mohawk.
