But getting back to basic skating, would be the edge for a Spiral and the complicated edge for the Bauer. It's more than the turnout. JMO.
How about this - a three turn is a basic move on an edge on one foot and is first seen on the Pre-Preliminary MIF test as the waltz 8. Then the skater sees them on the Preliminary test as the forward alternating threes on a line. Then, a skater then sees them at Prejuv as the threes in the field, the Juv as the backward power threes and forward double threes, and then the Intermediate as the back double threes, the slide chasses and the perimeter stroking with back power threes. A skater still isn't done because on the Novice test there is the perimeter stroking with inside-inside threes and the bracket-three-brackets. The Junior test, the skater gets a small break from demonstrating three turn proficiency and then on the Senior test, the skater has both power pulls with double threes/quick rockers (inner and outer), the spiral pattern which incorporates 3 turns, the sustained edge step, and the quick step with the triple threes. The expectation level is different for each of these tests as to what a passing three turn will be and just because a skater can do it at a Prejuv passing standard, doesn't mean they should be skating Senior...
