"Hi! I'm Simone Fisher and I'm here at Clearwater Ice Arena in sunny Clearwater, Florida. On behalf of Expert Village, we're going to introduce to you some advanced figure skating jumps. Hello! Now I'm going to demonstrate a loop jump. There's 2 different ways to go into the loop jump. I prefer to go into it using 2 back crossovers and I do a left outside 3 turn, and then I go into the jump just like that. Some people will actually do 3 back crossovers and just go into it just from the back crossover. What's important about a loop jump is actually bending the jumping leg so you can go into it and pulling up, keeping that back straight and bringing those arms in so you can actually get the whole way around. It is also important to check out and hold that landing so everyone can see that you just landed your jump. Now I'm going to try to loop jump and show you what it looks like. Here I go. I'm taking my 3 turn now, 3 back crossovers, and hold. That is the loop jump. "
