Flip jump
Template:Short description Template:Infobox Figure Skating Element
The flip jump (also called the flip, and formerly toe salchow) is a figure skating jump. The International Skating Union (ISU) defines a flip jump as "a toe jump that takes off from a back inside edge and lands on the back outside edge of the opposite foot".[1] It is executed with assistance from the toe of the free foot.[2]
History
The origin of the flip jump is unknown, although American professional figure skater Bruce Mapes might have created it.[1] Gustave Lussi claimed that he and his student Montgomery Wilson invented it.[3] The jump was sometimes called the Wilson in Canada and the Mapes in the United States after Mapes's wife, Evelyn Chandler Mapes, who popularized the jump there.[4]
Writer Ellyn Kestnbaum calls the jump "somewhat trickier than the loop for most skaters. considerably more so than the salchow or toe loop",[5] because of its unstable inside edge and the precision required to align and time the jump's vault from the toepick.[5] As a consequence, quadruple flip jumps are, as ESPN puts it, "rare".[6] Kestnbaum also states that it is crucial that the skater's edge not be too deep, but instead almost forms a straight line.[7]
Variations of the flip jump include the half flip and the split flip. The half flip is often used as a simple transitional movement during a step sequence and as a takeoff for other half jumps. A split flip is a single flip jump with a split position at the peak of the skater's position in the air.[5] There is no record of the first male skater to perform the triple flip.[1]
In competitions, the base value of a single flip is 0.50; the base value of a double flip is 1.80; the base value of a triple flip is 5.30; the base value of a quadruple flip is 11.00; and the base value of a quintuple flip is 14.[8]
