The flip jump is a toe-assisted version of a loop. For a counter-clockwise jump, a single Salchow is a jump you take off from the left (foot), (skating) backward, on inside edge (so the edge towards your left big toe), you spin once, twice or three times if needed, then land on back outside edge of right leg, with your left leg pulled back behind you. For a flip, you jab your right toepick on takeoff.
Figure out the way you want to flip jump. There are two ways to enter a flip jump: either by outside 3-turn or mohawk.
Turn correctly. If you turn clockwise, you should start you 3-turn on the right foot with your right arm and shoulder in front. If you turn counter-clockwise, you should start your 3-turn on the left foot with your left shoulder and arm in front.
Remain on one foot with skating knee bent and your back inclined slightly forward. Extend your free leg back with your toe pointing down while increasing the bend in your skating knee.
Gently place your free toe into the ice with your leg 'reaching' as far back as you can with your weight still over your left foot.
Push off the toe in the ice. This is where you start the jump.
Once you are in the air, quickly pull your feet and legs together.
As you hit the ice, check out by punching the one hand in front and the other to the side. Lift your free leg and kick it back.
