The 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. Figure skating is an ice skating sporting event where individuals, mixed couples, or groups perform spins, jumps, and other moves on the ice, often to music. ...

The flipjump (usually just flip) is a jump in figure skating which takes off a backward inside edge with a toe pick assist, and lands on the backward outside edge of the opposite foot.
The flip is actually quite similar in mechanics to the loop jump; in both jumps, the rotation comes from the right side of the body (for counterclockwise rotation), and the left leg is already crossed in front of the right in what is called a back spin position when the skater springs into the air.
The half flip, in turn, forms the basis for the common split jump, in which the skater achieves either a front-to-back or sideways (Russian or straddle) split position at the apex of the jump.
Jump spin(5 rev. min), layback (women) or double change-sit (men).
Jump spin (6 rev. min.), jump spin with a change of foot.
Elements: Double flip; combination of two double jumps (must not include double loop); jump combination of a double jump and a double loop; flying sit spin (5 revs.); spin combination with one change of foot and two changes of position (6 revs.
