Justine, why are you creating a poll instead of doing the math problem from the other thread?;) (Oh these mean adults on the forum --we're worse than parents!)

You mean to see someone perform, or to perform yourself? If the latter, you'd probably get more replies posting this in the on ice-skaters section.

I voted for the loop because of its beauty (ie. no toe-pick), just a smooth jump from edge ot edge.

I prefer toe jumps.They give u more power.

I voted for the Axel, however I'm beginning to like the Flutz unfortunately it's not a recognize jump. Are toe jumps more easier than edge jumps?

Depends who you talk to. I don't mind the waltz and salchow jumps, but I cannot stand the loop. Flip and toe loop are ok. The loop really stresses my right ankle.

I like watching people do axels.

My favourite jump often depends on who is performing it (would take Kurt Browning's axel over Jeff Buttle's any day, for example). In general, my fave jump is probably the salchow, probably because it's a jump that a) most people land consistently, and b) it's an easier jump so most people either precede it with footwork or a field move.

Well i acually hate edge jumps because you cant get anypower from them at all i think!

I love to go really fast and do my flip and my lutz!

To watch: the lutz (love trying to see if it is a "flutz" or not)

To do: waltz jump or "half" lutz because these are the only jumps I can do...LOL...I do a mean waltz jump, though :)

Would love to land a single lutz sometime soon. They say those are more difficult than the loop, toe loop, and salchow, but I don't personally find that to be the case.

I like the flip but it's my only really "perfect" jump (good height, really solid and consistant) besides the salchow (which is good but I don't like it). Axels are great WHEN I land them but that's only occaisionally...they'll probably be my fav. or at least close once I have them consistant

Loop for me! It's so pretty and it can come out of nowhere. I love axles too. When a flip is landed it's nice as well. I do like the other jumps as well though.

I voted for the loop too. When it's well-executed, the entry is soooo pretty!!

I love the 3 axel...its the most explosive of all the 3 jumps when well done...and I love the entry, the step up into it.

Next I love the lutz...I just like the takeoff a lot and the way the blade just pops off the ice when correctly done.

I like all the jumps...all the elements.

I don't see a huge difference as to beauty or excitement between the look of the 3 jumps and the quad, however...there is a HUGE difference between the look of a 2 jump and a 3 jump.

I love the rhythm of the Salchow! Fun to do and to watch.

Cheers,

I couldn't decide, but I put axel. I really like doing them.

The axel seems to be popular!

Axel? Yuk!
I'd have to say the flip, but when I lutz properly, I like that too.
