An ice skater's jump is a figure skating element that requires the skater to take off from the back outside edge of one foot, rotate in the air, and land on the back outside edge of the other foot. Two of the most common jumps are the Axel and the Lutz. The Axel is a jump that requires the skater to take off from the forward outside edge of one foot, rotate in the air, and land on the back outside edge of the other foot. The Lutz is a jump that requires the skater to take off from the back outside edge of one foot, rotate in the air, and land on the back outside edge of the other foot. Both jumps require the skater to complete one and a half rotations in the air.
