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. That is Victoria on the ice, and she will be demonstrating a split jump. With the split jump, she'll be taking off from a backwards inside edge or the outside edge of one foot and to the toe of the other foot. The jump is going to be in 1/2 rotation in the air in the direction of the opposite of the jumping toe. Her 2 legs are going to be no less than 90 degrees apart. She's going to demonstrate that and we'll see how it's done. That is the split jump.
