What is the hardest ice skating jump?

Question

I need answers as soon as possible and does any one know of a website that shows ice skating moves?

Answer 1

A quadruple axel is the hardest jump in figure skating but no body has ever landed it I don't think so the hardest one to attempt is the triple axel...

Answer 2

half rotation jumps

waltz jump

salchow

toe loop

loop

flip

lutz

axel

double salchow

double toe

double loop

and so on...

very few women have ever landed the triple axel.

try sk8stuff.com

Answer 3

quad axel i assume

Answer 4

People believe that the hardest jump for women's figure skating is the triple axel

no women has done a quad in her program, but sasha cohen did a quad in the warm up b4 her program, and abc caught it on tape!

For men I think the hardest would be a quadruple axel

for skating moves just go to your local ice rink or you can go onto youtube

Good Luck W/ Watever!

Answer 5

The hardest ice skating jump is "Axel"... Only 6 womens in all the world had made "triple axel". The single axel is one jump and a half. You can see some ice skating jumps on www.youtube.com. Good luck!! =)

Answer 7

The Axel

An Axel jump has an extra 1/2 rotation in the air due to its forward take-off. It has a takeoff from the left forward outside edge and a landing on the right back outside edge.

The skater takes on a forward outside edge, turn in the air , and land on the opposite foot.

Answer 8

The Quad Lutz is the hardest

here is the link to a table that lists jumps from the most simple to the hardest one

Answer 9

well everyone even the internet and books and my

coach says its an axel!

i think so too

Answer 10

Skipping quintuple jumps all that (I doubt we'll ever see Quad Axels become the norm in men's skating), the difficulty of jumps varies with each skater.

While it's said that the Toe Loop and Salchow are of equal difficulty, I find the Toe Loop to be the hardest of the 5 jumps. I find the Lutz to be relatively easy.

I also have a hard time doing the Axel, but mainly because I had a hard time learning the jump technique which is completely different from all the other jumps (it only slightly ressembles the Salchow at takeoff).

Each skater will say a random jump is hard and another is easy. Mao Asada has a hard time doing Salchows for instance.

Answer 11

look on youtube.com for moves also sk8stuff.com i think the hardest jump to learn is the axel (double, triple etc.)

Answer 12

i think quad Axel is the hardest to land.....Axels in general are hard to learn they take more time than any other jump. For example:

If you can do three(waltz)  jump then you can quite quickly learn single jumps.

Then it will take you time to learn single Axel, but once you land it, it doesn't take long to land double salchow and toe loop

and so on with other axels.

Axel is like a beginning of your learning of either double, triple or quad.

I know Evgeniy Plushenko (Russian figure skater) can do quad lutz, he has tried it in competition, but didn't land it, but he can do it in practice. There are also rumors that some top male skaters practicing quad axel (wow)....So who knows where are super human abilities are going to take as jump wise....

Answer 13

probably the axel or lutz, did u know a human being can perform 8 rotations in the air while doing a jump, no one has actually done it but its physically possible to. the axel is prob the hardest as u hafta do an extra 1/2 rotation, im working on it, a lutz takes of on a left outside edge so its fairly hard to do and it sometimes ends up as a flutz or a lip. so.....
