"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. We now have Victoria on the ice and she is going to demonstrate a Double Salchow jump. She's going to take off from back inside edge of one foot. She's going to make 2 rotations in the air in the direction of the curve of the take off foot. The landing is going to be made on the back outside edge on the other foot. Here she goes. What she's going to do is she's going to jump. She's going to pull her arms in nice and tight. That will give her the rotation. You'll notice her jumping leg is going to bent a little bit more than it was on the single Salchow. That's about it. That is the Double Salchow jump performed by Victoria. "
