Figure Ice Skating Jump from Easiest to Hardest! ⛸️
The base values of jumps are intended to show the difficulty of the jump, which means that the higher the BV of a jump is, the more challenging it is supposed to be.
In practical terms, the outcome can be either easier or harder depending on the skater.
Edge jumps are generally harder for some skaters than toe jumps, and vice versa.
But, going off the base values, from easiest to hardest:
1. Toe loop
2. Salchow
3. Loop
4. Flip
5. Lutz
6. Axel
The axel is widely known as the hardest jump because it has a forward takeoff and therefore requires an extra half revolution.
