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. Hi! Now I'm going to demonstrate a toe loop. The toe loop is just like the loop jump, except you actually put your toe in the ground and you jump up off the toe. Basically, it's the same thing. You bend your knee, jump right off that toe pick, bring your arms in, jump around, and have a nice landing position. With the top loop, I usually take 3 strokes into it, do a 3 turn, pick into the ice, and away I go. I'm going to now demonstrate the toe loop. Here I go. I'm actually going to turn around and come toward you so you can see. Here we go. 1, 2, and that is a toe loop.
