What second jump is easier for you as your doing a combination jump.

Definetly a sequence.

What do you mean by sequence? I might know but I'm probably calling it something else.
As for me, its totally a toe loop! Sometimes I can get a single toe in but its mostly the double toe.

Loop for me.

This would probably get more views over in On Ice :D.

Shouldn't this be in the On Ice forum where skaters discuss their own skating?

A sequence is:
A kind of footwork after the jump before you go into the next jump.
Mohawks ,crosscuts...etc...

I thought a sequence was a combination of more than 2 jumps (so loop/loop/loop for example) with no step in between, mohawks etc are called connecting steps, or a jump from steps, but a sequence doesn't have steps in between, though you can have half loop etc in between.

Jump Combinations
Jump combinations are two or more jumps strung together without additional steps or turns performed between the jumps. The most common combinations include two jumps performed in series. Since most jumps land on a RBO edge, any such jump may be executed first, but the second jump must take-off from a RBO edge to create a seamless combination. Therefore, the second jump is usually a loop or toe loop. In some cases a half loop is used to change to a LBI, so a salchow can be added to the combination.

Jump Sequence or Jump Series
Unlike jump combinations, jump sequences include additional steps, turns, strokes or gliding motions between the individual jumps. However, the steps are minimized such that the jumps are performed in quick succession.

Very different to what I thought, and how my coach and I refer to them.

Definately loop...it's so much easier for me to do a 2loop after a jump than 2toe

No we are talking about a step sequence afetr.
