	Figure Skating Journal Glossary, Jumps
		The lutz is a counter rotation jump, meaning the skater glides into the jump in the opposite direction to which he will rotate the jump in the air.
		This is a critical jump in the development of a figure skater because the movements involved in the take-off of this jump are similar to those required for the toe loop and salchow.
		For the jump to appear spectacular, it is usually performed as a delayed axel and the skater seems to hesitate for a moment in the air in a tucked posture.

	Competitive Figure Skating FAQ: Technical Elements
		Figures are skated on circles 12 to 15 feet in diameter except for the group of figures called loops which are skated on much smaller circles.
		Figure practice is called "patch" because each skater was assigned their own patch of ice on the rink to skate on.
		Compulsory figures used to be worth 60% of the score in figure skating, but after 1968 they were progressively devalued and finally eliminated completely from international competition after the 1990 season.

	Figure skating jump - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A few jumps, notably including the lutz and walley, are counter-rotated, with the approach edge having an opposite rotational sense to the rotation in the air and landing curve.
		For multi-rotational jumps, it is important that the skater assume a "tight" position in the air with their body mass concentrated around the axis of rotation in order to minimize the rotational moment of inertia.
		In skating parlance, a jump that is cheated is one in which the skater either begins or completes the rotation of a jump on the ice instead of in the air.

	Walley jump - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Evan Lysacek performs a clockwise walley jump as an entrance to a triple lutz.
		A Walley jump is a full rotation jump in figure skating where the skater jumps off of the backward inside edge, makes one full rotation in the air, and then lands on the backward outside edge of the same foot.
		Walley jumps are related to edge pulls, a technique for gaining power by means of changing edge while skating on one foot.

	Figure Skater's Website (main menu)
		Though all are welcome, the Figure Skater's Website will be of greatest interest to those actually participating in the sport as skaters, parents, professionals, and club officials.
		This site is both a reference to Figure Skating information, and a place for skaters to communicate about things like "partners wanted", "skates for sale", etc. Your active two-way participation on this site will help to make it a genuinely useful place for all skaters to congregate
		For instance if you have an interest in the Salchow jump, you could type in "salchow" and the search engine will give you a list of every page on this site which has the word "salchow" on it.
