Figure skating is also made up of what are called jumps.
Jumps in figure skating can be hard in blending or in series.
The women single figure skaters mostly do the triple jumps whereas the male single skaters do the quadruple jumps.
However in performing toe jumps, a figure skater does it without the aid of the toe pick.
Toe jumps are performed in such a way that the figure skater will tap the toe pick into ice.
Edge jumps on the other hand are made up of salchows, axels and loops.
A professional skater is able to do the kind of jumps like single, double, triple or even quadruple jumps.
