They're like one-foot slalom--skating on one foot while changing edges back and forth. In USFSA MIF, they're referred to as power change of edge pulls, I think.

A toe walley is like a walley except that you pick off to get propulsion. People (some people) can do double and triple toe-walleys, but I have never seen a double walley -- I don't think so anyway.

They are also not usually done out of power-pulls like the walley is, but they can be done that way.

So, a counter-clockwise jumper ("normal" jumper) will be on a RBI edge, pick off, rotate CCW and land on RBO.

It's what I call a counter-intuitive (or counter-rotational) jump.
