Flip JumpThe flip jump (usually just flip) is a jump in figure skating in which the counter-clockwise jumper takes off from the left back inside edge and lands on the right back outside edge (reverse feet for the clockwise jumper). The most common entry into a flip is a long forward glide with the right foot lifted off the ice and pointing forwards. Then the skater uses the toe of that foot to assist them in a left outside three-turn and uses the right toe to vault them into the jump immediately after the 3-turn. Flips are classified as singles, doubles, triples or even quadruples based on the number of rotations in the air before landing. See also: Figure skating jump
