SPLIT JUMP

The split jump is a popular intermediate level move which is used commonly in show performances and competitions alike. Split jumps require impressive flexibility and muscle strength. It is taken off of a back inside edge on one leg while the others assists with the toe pick, much like a flip jump. It is half a turn in the air. At the peak of the jump the skater should be in a split position with their legs. When it is time to come down for the landing the skater will come down forward on two feet and do an forward inside to backward outside three turn. They will finish by doing a nice landing position.
