Ice Skating moves?

Question

I took ice skating for a long time and got up to FS4, are there any cool easy jumps that I retry can do?

Like a waltz jump or something like that

and can u please describe how to do the move because all my ice skating terminology is gone haha

combos would be appreciated also :)

Answer 1

the two other easy jumps are salchow and toeloop

the salchow is a mohawk then when you are on your left bwd inside edge, you jump ccw 180 degrees and onto your right foot. the toeloop is a mohawk and you change feet so that you aee on yor right bwd outside edge, then you use your toepick and jump back onto your right foot.

If you do two of them together (one after the other) it is a combo

Answer 2

I'm sure you could do a waltz jump.  Just stand on your take off leg and kick through with your free leg and land on the opposite leg you took off of.  You may want to practice off ice first.

Answer 3

the direction you spin is probably the direction of your jumps

here's waltz, 3, and toe loop going in the ccw direction since its the way i jump

1st = waltz jump, have your left on the ice going forward, jump and land backwards on your right. this is only 1/2 a rotation. once you get the hang of it on the spot / small glide; the entrance you can try is crossovers[cuts].

then you can do a 3 jump, which is just like a 3 turn but you're in the air during the "turn". its like doing 180 on one foot. i didn't learn an entrance to this...

a toe loop is what i learnt next, and later had it comboed with a waltz jump.

glide backwards with right (look over your left shoulder to see where you're going), left toe into ice then pretend you're doing a waltz jump and land on your right gliding backwards. the entance is crossovers then a 3 turn with your right.

the combo is crossovers into waltz jump then when landing, left toe into ice for the toe loop and land again.

if you go cw then just flip everything over.

make sure that you bend your knees to get the pump in the jumps.
