What you and many people who have either never skated or coached skating realize is that jumps have always been done this way, using the techniques in the manual is not somehow cheating, it is mearly the way these jumps are performed. No one is doing double or triple axels taking off forward, no one at worlds is doing a triple toe and leaving the ice backwards, it is set up on a back edge but part of the take off is to turn forwards as you leave the ice. I would say its impossible to do more then a double leaving the ice backwards, lol, i've tried.
You may be right. But, some skaters are better than others, rotating 1/4 turn more. Don't you think they deserve to be rewarded?

Please, take it easy!
