In skates the best I can manage is a mediocre waltz jump, but I try out the other jumps in my socks on my kitchen floor. I'm wondering why a Flip is harder then a Toe Loop. In both you start out with an edge curving in the direction you're planning on spinning, then tap in with the other toe pick and then land on your right outside edge (for cw jumpers - correct?). In socks a flip seems theoretically easier (my landings are always cheated though ) but I know in skates flips are harder. Is it the inside edge for the entrance that's less secure? Just the coordination of switching the skating foot mid jump? The fact that most people have stronger right sides? Thanks in advance!!
