How can I do a figure skating salchow jump?


Answer: Assuming you want to jump counterclockwise, to do a salchow you'll first want to do a solid left outside three turn. After exiting the three turn on your back inside edge, you will want to bring your free leg up and arms up into the jump. The jump takes off using your left toe pick and lands on your right foot with a traditional landing position. If you jump clockwise, all these directions would be reversed.
