HOW TO TELL APART THE JUMPS IN FIGURE SKATING

  • I get a lot of comments saying that all the jumps in figure skating look the same...and that's true if you don't know what to look for.
    This video explains how you can recognize the different types of jumps in skating: what to look for, how the jump is performed, and lots of examples!
    Don't be discouraged if they still all look the same even after watching the video, it takes some practice before you can correctly identify the jumps in real time.

      Newb here! Why are so many jumps "only for men", only "attempted by men" or, only used in women's skating under specific circumstances? Is it because of rules, it makes more sense point-wise, or are women's bodies just not made for it?

    I have seen so many videos not caring to explain what is an 'outside/inside edge', 'toe pick' and just throwing common expressions like "right back outside edge" etc as a given. They probably don't realize that even this is very confusing to complete newbies. I really command you for including that bit since It's essential and so many videomakers brush through it and if the viewer isn't able to understand that then the rest falls flat. The video is very clear and take things slow showing first the mechanics of the jumps in slow motion with pointers and only then the videos in real time speed. Possibly the best one on this topic to show complete newbies. You're a jewel! Keep going with the channel!

Great to see so many jumps with Yuzu, Yuna Kim for the lutz amongst others, Javi for the 4sal, and the only 3 men who do correct 4lutz, until Yuzu does it again in competition.

    "Double axels are standard for ladies, while triple axels are standard for the men. Very few women attempt triple axels."
    Now (2/8/2022, one day away from Olympics men's free skate), there should be another line:
    "Very few men attempt quaduple axels, in specific, Yuzuru Hanyu only."
    Update: IT WAS CERTIFIED!!!!!! WE JUST WITNESSED HISTORY BEING MADE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!! Ok I was so sad when I saw that he didn't do it and also didn't land the next quad and I was like crying through that day and the day afterwards but I'M SO PROUD OF HIM DOING IT!!!! He really could've just played safe, but he didn't (very yuzuru-y)! Yuzu said the ice hates him in the short program but as idk who but somebody said, "The ice doesn't hate you, the ice is just trying to keep you." I totally agree !!
    Update again: omg he said he's gonna continue attempting it and he won't quit being a competitive skater yet!!!!!!!!! I'M SO HAPPYY!!!! I was literally preparing mentally both ways, if he retires or if he doesn't. I was thinking if he continues then YAY he gets to continue his dreams and conquer the 4A and if he doesn't continue then YAY he doesn't have to get hurt that much anymore. Anyways I'm sooo happy because this is the yuzu I'm used to knowing (not the one that asks why effort doesn't pay off)!!! :DD

      I felt this 😭 it was a week of a roller coaster of emotions and constant binge watching of Yuzuru’s vids. But after seeing how fast Yuzuru managed to recollect his emotions and braved the press conference alone, i managed to calm myself down too. At this point I’m just like SO PROUD OF YUZURU! I can’t wait for his GALA performance, he said that he’s gg to be performing Phantom of the Opera coz it holds a significant meaning to him (coz of the horrific accident that he had with Lan Yan and both were seriously injured during the Cup of China) and hence would like to complete this program in China. Such a sweet heart and a true champion. Really excited for his performance now AHHH I’m sure it’s gg to be mesmerizing as usual!!! ✨☺️💓

      heeeyy could you please tell me what it means for something to be certified? I don't know anything about figure skating, but wouldn't it be the most logical for the jump to be landed in order to be certified? (also what exactly does certified mean kjfhsdse im so sorry but i fell into this yuzuru hole a few days ago and im so lost :'')

    Honestly I got into figure skating a couple of seasons ago, (I managed to catch a few seconds of the winter Olympics in PyeongChang and I was hooked) and I didn't understand a thing. Even more so while searching for explanations on UA-cam, (because every single one I've seen brushes over the details) so it's really awesome and helpful that you're doing it! Keep going bro! lol✨💜⛸️

    This video is two years old but for anybody who comes in now I just want to say that there’s another jump, the quadruple axel, never been landed before (because it’s basically the hardest jump to ever have been attempted), but in the Beijing 2022 olympics Yuzuru Hanyu attempted it and was LESS than HALF a rotation off and got it ratified by the ISJ as a quad axel (4A). He didn’t land it but he’s still the first person to every get it and it wasn’t marked down as a 3a.

    I have finally found a clear video showcasing the different jumps. Usually the skaters at to fast and you slowed it down and gave multiple examples. The lutz is crazy with that back outside edge. Now I have a working knowledge of the jumps. I only knew the axel and the flip before this. I use to do a flip on quad skates and never got the axel, I was too afraid. This video makes it all very clear. Thanks!!

    A nice comprehensive video. This is the video I must show to my parents so they can finally tell the difference between flip and lutz. Even after 8 years they still don't see the difference.
    I still would've wished to see more in-depth comparisons of:
    - the old Salchow and the new.
    - Loop's free leg. Some people keep it in the outside edge while others tend to keep it on the inside edge.
    - Axel hands. While usually skaters swing them from down to up some skaters do it sideways. So they stretch their hands up to their sides and when they're about to jump they pull them together.

    I have always trusted Peggy Fleming, Robin Cousins and other past champions and cognoscenti to know what they are talking about when commentating; particularly on the jumps. I left the arcane elements differentiating a toe from a flip well alone and got on with savouring the exhilaration when they are well executed.
    That is, until Sochi 2014 when brazen duplicity made a damning statement into the integrity of the ISU and various parties.
    The brouhaha roused my curiosity. This "Figure Skating Jumps for Idiots" gift from you is priceless. It does the job admirably, and you are a treasure of this beautiful sport.
