Axel- The easiest jump to recognize because it is the only jump taken from a forward position. The skater glides forward on one foot, takes off from a forward outside edge,rotates and lands on the opposite foot skating back wards.

Flip- A toe-assisted jump, taken off from the left foot going backward and landed on the right foot.

Loop- taken off and landed on the same foot and edge. At the point of takeoff, the skaters feet may look as if they are together. The free leg is then thrown sideways and upward in the direction of the jump.

Death Spiral- A required move in pairs skating in which the man skates in a pivot position while having one hand of the lady, who is spinning of a horizontal position on one edge of the skate with her body parallel to the ice.
