"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. Now I'm going to demonstrate a flip jump. With the flip jump, we take off on a back edge and we pick our foot into the ice. We turn around, we pull in, we rotate one rotation, and then we come out again. That is basically it on the flip. Again, it's really important that you dig that pick in and we bend our knee, pull up, bring our arms in, and we come out and hold, hold, hold. Here I go. I'm going to take 3 strokes into the flip jump. Then we hold and come out. "
