Hi guys

During my practice today, I landed half a jump with my left leg. Does anybody know what this jump is called?

I suspect we would need a bit more information about the take off to give you a name, also which direction you rotate in when you jump as clockwise jumpers land all of the main jump on the left legs (LBO edge).

Hi antmanb

I landed the jump on my left leg from backwards to forwards. Does that help?

londonicechamp

which foot did you take off of?

Which edge were you on?

Did you jump off an edge or a toepick?

Hi Phoenix

I landed the jump on my right leg.

I think that I was on outside edge.

It was an edge jump, not a toe jump.

Hope that helps.

What we need to know, in this order:

Direction of rotation (clockwise or counter-clockwise)
Take off leg, direction, and edge
Landing leg, direction, and edge

For example, a waltz jump would be:

rotating Counter Clockwise (CCW)
take off from Left Forward Outside edge (LFO)
land on Right Back Outside edge (RBO)

OR
rotating Clockwise (CW)
take off from Right Forward Outside edge (RFO)
land on Left Back Outside edge (LBO)

You were going backwards and jumped so when you landed you were going forwards?

Hi icedancer2

Yes, that was exactly what I did.

Off which edges (take and landing) and in which direction?

I'm a little confused because in your first post you said you landed on the left leg but in another post you said the right leg (though you were replying to someone who asked about the take off.

My guess would be that you're not quite getting all the way round on a half loop. Although it's called a half loop it is a full rotation in the air and the you should be landing it on a LBI edge, though sometimes if short on rotation you can land closer to forwards and threeturn round on the landing.
