gkelly once posted a manual of roller skating. This is the link: http://www.skatewa.iinet.net.au/free/free.pdf

from page 25 to page 31 there is a description of various jumps, based on take-off edge, landing edge and about toe assisted and not toe assisted jumps.

There is this classification

-RBO landing

take off
1.RBO, toe = Mapes (that is the Toeloop)
2.RBO, no toe = Loop
3.LBI, toe = Flip
4.LBI, no toe = Salchow
5.RBI, toe = Toe Walley
6.RBI, no toe = Walley
7.LBO, toe = Lutz (there is a specification that says "rockover to the inner edge on take-off changes this jump into a flip" !!! :bow:)
8.LBO, no toe = Dayney (I guess this is the toeless lutz)
9.LFO = Axel
10.RFI = Boeckle (our inside axel)

-LBI landing

take off

1.RBO, no toe = Euler (half loop)
2.RBI, no toe = Pat Lowe
3.LFO = Colledge (one-foot axel)
4.RFI = Boeckay (one-foot inside axel???)

-LBO landing

take off

1.RBO = Wilson

Now my questions are:

1) Why they mention the triple Boeckl (triple inside axel) as a possible jump? Is that triple jump possible just in roller skating and impossible in figure skating? Plus here they mention the double Pat Lowe and double Euler (double half loop) www.hullform.com/morleypanthers/artistic/rules/access_counter.pl?file=freeskating.html

2) Are the other jumps possible in figure skating and why we never hear about them? Are they too difficult to do?

3) LBO landing?
