That’s why you’ll hear commentators complimenting skaters on their edges - it’s both a part of the blade, and a tool the skater utilizes to gain speed.įlip: A jump that takes off from a back inside edge, with the toe pick used to vault the skater into the air - contrary to what the name may imply, it is not a back flip. The deeper the edge, the stronger the lean, and the more speed and flow the skater will get across the ice.

These lifts can be done in a straight line or on a circle, and some rotate. But there is more room for creativity and variety in a dance lift, which can involve partners balancing on each others shoulders, legs, or skates while moving - which takes incredible strength and balance.
