So, basically, there's "axel"...and everything else
@@althea9822 This video is better at explaining. ua-cam.com/video/HkcAmGCkjtA/v-deo.html
@@RaymondHng I don't regret watching it. Thank you so much!
oh! isn't that the jump that spins in the air?
I’m a figure skater and this is still kind of confusing! They should’ve used different color legs for left and right!
Hannah G sameee these animations were sooo bad
and also with the loop! your supposed to have both feet on the ice
watches several episodes of yuri on ice
me:
@@becoquette same this is what Yuri on ice does to me
I feel like I've discovered a new passion 😂
LMAOO THATS WHY IM HEREE
yes this is true
Ah yes my people…Yuri on ice is what got me into to figure skating and I’m so happy I started
can you hear
my heart beat
Hahahahaha i knew i was gonna find this comment..
tired of feeling
never enough
I close my eyes and..
Tell my self that my dreams will come true
there'll be no more darkness when you believe in yourself. you are unstoppable
where your destiny lies,
dancing on the blades
I have watched this six times and they still all look the same to me. Maybe I could identify an axle...maybe...but that's about all I got.
You can find some ISU instructions & simulations of jumps on YT, watching good jumpers like Yuzuru, Nathan Chen or Yuna Kim in slow mo helps as well :)
This video should be better at explaining. ua-cam.com/video/HkcAmGCkjtA/v-deo.html
@@RaymondHng I was going to link the same video lol :)
@@anayaj402 There's no shortage of videos explaining figure skating.
Whose idea was it to use badly animated 2d figures as an explanation for the different jumps? You can't see what's going on around the feet at all and if that wasn't enough the Axel is displayed straight up wrong. You can see that even the animator got confused on the Axel jump and mixed up the left and right leg. I highly recommend watching the video with Jason Brown by Wall Street Journal instead.
This video is better at explaining. ua-cam.com/video/HkcAmGCkjtA/v-deo.html
@@RaymondHng why are you spamming comments with that I’m starting to think that’s your alt channel
Haha. I still can't see the difference. 😂
I just love watching them jump.
This video is better at explaining. ua-cam.com/video/HkcAmGCkjtA/v-deo.html
Me neither
It looks all the same. It's too sophisticated for mere peasant like me
This video should be better at explaining. ua-cam.com/video/HkcAmGCkjtA/v-deo.html
@@RaymondHng this video explains how to do it
uh. was the axel foot close up wrong? it looked like the wrong foot for take off once that cartoon figure rotated
thosewhoknew truee
Definitely wrong
YEAH I NOTICED TOO AND I WAS SO CONFUSED FOR A MOMENT
I think they reused animation ? Doing that would not be helpful vut
THANK YOU FOR POINTING THIS OUT! I seriously thought he was like contorted or something
Just what I needed to know!
I can see the difference, but it'll take me a while to tell them apart by name...I wish I'd stuck with figure skating when I was little. I'd probably be doing these jumps by now XD
As a pencak silat practitioner i respect the judge experts who can tell the difference between the techniques. I tried to understand now i go back being normies and enjoy the "art" in figure skating generally.
Still look the same. How can you tell quickly which is which when watching on TV?
YouSuckYuck Very funny but not always! Furthermore l want to know before the it is announced 😀
So, If you want to tell before the announcer tells you (or not, because sometimes they don't say anything), there are a few things to look out for. First. Is he going into it facing forward? There is only ONE jump facing forwards and that is the Axel. Done, you have five to go :D Next question. You see the jump. Did the Skater help himself with the toe pick? Like, did he ram his other foot into the ice to launch himself? No? Then it was an Edge Jump (Loop, Salchow, Axel, too, but you can already recognize the Axel ;D). So, did the skater 'cross' his legs before jumping? One foot in front of the other? Yes? Then it was a loop. Was the stance really wide and open? No crossing of legs to be seen? Yes? Then it was an Salchow.
You did see how the Toepick was used? Alright, most of skaters land on the right foot, so let's go with that for the next explanation. Did the skater ram the toepick of the LEFT foot into the ice? So... skating backwards on right and landing on right? Then it was a Toe-loop.
The next two are really tricky. Flip and Lutz.
So, you see the skater skate on the left foot and use his right toe pick, landing on the right... now you have to watch out . Did the Skater lean onto the outside of his skate? The so called outside edge? Then it was a Lutz.
Did the skater lean on the inside of his skate? Then it was a Flip.
I would recommend to watch a lot of clips on UA-cam and slow them down to really watch what foot is used. I myself found it easier for male skaters because their boots are black, so you can see them better on the white ice.
I used this flow-chart for learning: 68.media.tumblr.com/8ada0acfabc10fb0bf6a02a4e3367e71/tumblr_inline_ors4nhoTN01slyotu_540.png
It's practically what I just tried to explain.
And the last comment... practice... a lot :D I STILL don't always get Flip and Lutz, sometimes the skater is so FAST, I'm just not fast enough to really SEE on what edge they are on. But the edge jumps are pretty easy once you figure out the starting form of forward facing, X-shape of legs, open legs :D
Hope I could help :D
Laura C. Thank you soo much. You have put a lot into this. Ironically at the time of reading this male figure skating is on, so l am putting your very good info into practice now.😀
Kat cankan I am watching it too, even if it is like... just after 6am here, I am exhausted xD I hope you could already recognize some jumps ;) To an amazing Olympics *-*
Laura C. Lol snap! Good morning, It is 5.36am here (UK). When announced, I look at what you have written. Having problems identifying the direction of travel ie facing fawards or backwards, lol.
so the point is:
There are 2 types of jump= toe and edge
Toe jump (jump that needs toe kick)
1. Toe loop: kick with left foot, inside edge
2. Flip: kick with right foot, inside edge
3. Lutz: kick with right foot, outside edge
Edge jump (no toe assist)
1. Salchow: the foot is making /\ shape
2. Loop: the foot is making X shape
3. Axel: juts a regular jump but this is the only jump that the skater moving forward (except axel, the other jump is moving backward)
Toe loop is right back outside edge, toe in with left foot.
Beautiful breakdown Time 👏🏼 I love that you included points and increasing degrees of difficulty with the explanations
I'm just here because of park sunghoon, yuzuru hanyu and yuri on ice
I have a question,if I use left leg for jumps,not the right,is a problem? Because I felt more comfortable using the left leg,not the right leg
If you prefer to land on your left leg instead of your right, your left is the strongest leg. In other words, you are a "lefty". Therefore you will rotate clockwise instead of counter-clockwise and your edge take off or toe pick take off will be opposite of what is illustrated in this video.
I mean better with real skater star or coach words explanation with slow motion videos and possible texts explanation.

When I first watch skating videos I thot all jumps looks the same. (except for the Axel). but now I can easily distinguish them. the key is the take off of the jumps and of courz watching tons of vids from diff. skaters and disciplines so it really takes time to recognize them.
Thank you this has confused me for so long
Thanks. But not a very straightforward explanation in my eyes.
Very clear explanation! Didn't help me one bit, though. It all looks the same to me.
This video should be better at explaining. ua-cam.com/video/HkcAmGCkjtA/v-deo.html
everyone: this all looks the same.. Yuri!! on ice fans: write that down write that down!
This video is better at explaining. ua-cam.com/video/HkcAmGCkjtA/v-deo.html
Can anyone please tell me, what is the song called the one with the toe loop
Trepak (Russian Dance) from _The Nutcracker Suite_
I'm a figure skaters and this looks a lot harder than the actual jumps are.
I'm no expert but I think the axel is taking off from the wrong foot?
Jayashri Venketasubramanian You are correct, if rotating the way they show, you should take off from your left foot. It is possible to take off from your right foot as shown but you’d have to be rotating the other way
Thanks for clarifying! :)
It's much easier. The Axel is the only jump with a forward take off.
I understand that, and I can recognise the jumps by looking at how they take off because they all look different. But I want to make sure I understand the mechanics (ie exactly which foot).
I'm a figure skater and the Sal actually starts off with either a forward outside three looping your foot, closed Mohawk then looping your foot, or back outside three then looping your foot,
For the loop you got the edges right just you start with two feet on the ground left in front of right if your a righty skater. then for the axle it was actually a left forward outside not right for. Out. In other words you made it a lefty skater turning righty.
The graphics can get confusing as it's hard to tell which is the right or left leg.
Toe loop jump: Right Back Outside edge with toe-pick assist
Salchow jump: Left Back Inside edge
Loop jump: Right Back Outside edge
Flip jump: Left Back Inside edge with toe-pick assist
Lutz jump: Left Back Outside edge with toe-pick assist
Axel jump: Left Forward Outside edge
What's the name of the music that starts at 0:53?
Hungarian Dance no.5 Johannes Brahms
Sorry for the late answer
What is the song on the loop?
_Hungarian Dance No. 5_ by Brahms.
Does anyone distinguish the left from the right leg?
ok, so i’m a figure skater, and actually many of these jumps can start off forward, including, toe loop, flip, schowcow or whatever, axel, and not all of them use the toe, loop and schowcow are edge jumps and some more
Only the Axel jump takes off in a forward direction.
Toe loop jump: Right Back Outside edge with toe-pick assist
Salchow jump: Left Back Inside edge
Loop jump: Right Back Outside edge
Flip jump: Left Back Inside edge with toe-pick assist
Lutz jump: Left Back Outside edge with toe-pick assist
Axel jump: Left Forward Outside edge
Still don't get it. At least it's only on my radar every 4 winters.
This video should be better at explaining. ua-cam.com/video/HkcAmGCkjtA/v-deo.html
what is inside vs outside edge? leaning towards vs away from the other foot?
When you put your feet together, the inside edges of the blades face each other. The outside edges face away from each other. In other words, your two big toes are on the inside edges of your feet while your little pinkie toes are on the outside edges of your feet. miro.medium.com/max/3000/1*W1n_nefzhlYtytvy6f21aw.png

Peggy Fleming is seen here skating on her left foot inside edge. i.pinimg.com/originals/63/64/69/6364695115b82c91fa3f372f543b2e59.png
Anyone knows the name of the theme at 1:35 ?
Overture to _The Barber of Seville_ by Rossini ua-cam.com/video/8mVfVaqGZnQ/v-deo.html
The salchow was a loop I don’t know why or how they messed this up but false information. In a salchow you would take off on an edge from backwards then do a three turn and rotate without putting your pick in the ice... they just used the same info for the loop just on the other foot.
Hurm. It's a bit confusing to just watching that animations than watching a real person. I have been able to recognise those jump. But my problem is i can't count on how much revolution they make. 😅 some skaters spin too fast to count even with slow motion.
You count the rotations by counting the number of times the skater's face appears when rotating.
The landing oh my goodness 🙈🤦🏽♀️
If I grab my left cheek doing flip, release, and quickly grab another one with the opposite hand, the opposite side of the palm on landing, will it be an assflip? up to 17.0 new kind of jump
They make it look so easy it’s hard enough to do a single.
The best and clearest explanation I've seen yet.
absolutely not, this was so basic and kind of inaccurate
And this is why ice dance is the only discipline I even attempt to understand the judging on. I enjoy singles and pairs but no idea.....
Axel supposed to be outside edge of the left foot for close up
Some of the information presented here is wrong or confusing lol but it's nicely animated
why am i watching this i’ve been skating for 8 years😂
Looking for mistakes in the video.
RaymondHng youre not wrong lmao
Anyone is here after watching Yuri on Ice?
The loop jump is an edge jump. So the loop jump doesn't use the toe pick to jump.
*There are 6 Jumps you need to know*
HAMILFANS WHERE YOU AT
Have I been Rickrolled here or what is going on? I'm seeing one and the same jump all over again 😄
This video is better at explaining. ua-cam.com/video/HkcAmGCkjtA/v-deo.html
Im not new to figure skating I mean it's not a first time watching it but skaters like yuzuru, Javier, shoma, Nathan,patrick etc. makes me wonder how do their jumps differ from the other jumps.. Guess what.. I think this jumps are all the same.i can't figure the difference.
yang yang You can learn by watching how Yuzuru take off. He has a textbook technique for taking off.
This video is better at explaining. ua-cam.com/video/HkcAmGCkjtA/v-deo.html
And seriously, left and right feet look identical. Some visual aids won't be amiss.
This video is better at explaining. ua-cam.com/video/HkcAmGCkjtA/v-deo.html
An opposite outside edge is the other leg in English
The front/back view for the axel jump launch is quite confusing...like the "camera" went to the back of the skater but the shoelaces were shown? What?
evegenia should watch this video so she knows a lutz is done with an outside edge
THE SHADE
singingpinkclover FUCKING ROASTED😂
I'm shaking
singingpinkclover at least she can differentiate the jumps, that's like a million times more than I can do...
матильда милито I guess it's working for her, I wouldn't change the way I skate if nobody 'punished' me for my mistakes or tried to educate me. Tbh I think her coach is at fault but 🤷♀️🤷♀️
You know the only reason I'm attached to figure skating is because of Yuri on ice
the landing pose should look different for each type of jump cause different jumps produce different landing
No, all jumps land the same, on the right back outside edge. This video is better at explaining. ua-cam.com/video/HkcAmGCkjtA/v-deo.html
This seems to be confusing and the axel is taking off on the wrong foot, assuming this is a "cartoon" skater that rotates counterclockwise. There are more videos with better jump identification explanations than this one, people.
This video is better at explaining. ua-cam.com/video/HkcAmGCkjtA/v-deo.html
How the heck do judges notice the difference between all these at high speed? I can barely tell the difference with it being spelled out in diagrams.
Cameron Metrejean the judges know what the skater will do before they actually do it. every skater hands to them a written program before the competition, with all the jumps (in order), spins and step sequences. the announcers usually have the written program for all skaters too, that's why sometimes they say "next is a ... jump"... hope i helped you a little bit 😅
Cameron Metrejean The judges already know what jump the skater will do next. But many skaters make mistake eg. by doing a loop instead of a planned flip or doing a flip instead of a planned lutz. Many judges would turn a blind eye to that and award the skaters the score for the flip/lutz which has higher base value. This is what commonly happen to Shoma Uno and Evgenia Medvedeva. ;)
how many people are here after yuri on ice😂😂😂
why I find it all the same
This video is better at explaining. ua-cam.com/video/HkcAmGCkjtA/v-deo.html
The angle that they use didn't help at all to recognize the differences, and the motions are too stiff too. The Salchow, Loop and the Axel are actually very easy to tell apart, so is the Toe Loop. The only difficult ones are Lutz and Flips. I wish they've used a better angle, and real jumps from skaters would help too.
This video is better at explaining. ua-cam.com/video/HkcAmGCkjtA/v-deo.html
when i tell you all that looks the same to me
They are not all the same. Each jump takes off differently.
Toe loop jump: Right Back Outside edge with toe-pick assist
Salchow jump: Left Back Inside edge
Loop jump: Right Back Outside edge
Flip jump: Left Back Inside edge with toe-pick assist
Lutz jump: Left Back Outside edge with toe-pick assist
Axel jump: Left Forward Outside edge
i still dont understand.. i think i only figure out Axel

I still dont get it lmao

The only difference: The names of the egomaniac men for whom the jumps were named after.
There are some elements named after women skaters:
Biellmann spin
Hamill camel
Besti squat
Ina Bauer
Tag evegenia.
Looks like only the axel is different.

Lol why isn't the left leg on the loop on the ice?
axel...right leg.....
They are all the same thing to me

They still all look the same... except for the Axel, but I could that one apart before.

I'm more confuse than ever.

The axel edge was so wrong
Uuuh what is an outside and inside edge? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
this video is very confusing for me even as a figure skater.. its just so unclear so im not sure how someone who doesnt skate would understand this
Came here after knowing about yuzuru hanyu...
army jonix Yuzuru has got all the types of jumps in his free skate. I learn to differentiate the jumps by watching how he takes off.
🤦🏽♀️
I can only identify the axel because of the approaching position but the rest.. Nah.

@@RaymondHng thank you
90% look the same bruh

That’s not a salcow
This is a lot of misleading/incorrect information in this video.
Am i the only one who thinks they are all the same?
lily rocco This is not a good guide. I learn the jump by watching good jumper like Yuzuru Hanyu. He has textbook technique so it is a good idea to watch his jumps. I would advise you not to watch Shoma Uno or Evgenia Medvedeva's jumps to learn the jump types because they are famous for using wrong edge to take off and underrotating their jumps. The commentator would say, next is the triple lutz but they would be doing a triple flutz instead.
This video is better at explaining. ua-cam.com/video/HkcAmGCkjtA/v-deo.html
This is not helpful!

I think that producer tried to show the side of edges on the left of the screen for all 6 jumps. It look fine for me accept for axle jump because after the turn, the right foot is suppose to be the free-leg. Anyway, if you understand that the axel jump taking off from forward outside edge, it is fine. Some coach teach skaters to take off from inside edge to get a half rotation for free, by this way they have to pre-rotate the jump to inside edge then take off. it is a cheating jump.Judge will downgrade this kind of jump.
This is awful 😢
