Small Jumps - Falling
Leaf
Falling Leaf
Like the Mazurka, the
Falling Leaf is a
half-revolution jump starting on an RBO edge. The skater faces OUTSIDE of
the circle while gliding backwards; the left leg is extended in the direction of
travel. When ready to jump, the skater leaps up off the right leg without
benefit of a toe pick vault and rotates a half-turn. The skater briefly
taps the left toepick, then lands and glides on the right foot.
Split Falling Leaf
The Split Falling Leaf jump is very similar to a Falling Leaf. The
air position is more dramatically extended - the freeleg is extended forward (in
the direction of travel) and the takeoff leg is extended backward to form an
angle of at least 90 degrees with both feet equidistant from the ice. The
landing is the same as for a Falling Leaf.
