It is the latter.  The former is an inside axel.

Half one-foot axel!

I was looking at your original post on this - a "3-jump" is another term for waltz jump I think. (maybe)

A waltz jump changes feet, whereas a 3-jump does not (it's quite literally a 3-turn where you jump the actual turn part).

If this is the case then this is what the original poster is doing I think!

Okay, I occasionally dream about this 'transistion'. What is it?


LBO, toepick right, CCW turn, do a little mazurka move at the top (skate cross/uncross) or skates clap together, land on RbI.

I must have seen this somewhere in a video, it seems doable of course, and to the right choreography, it may be really charming.

Actually in some parts of the world a waltz jump IS a three jump.
And as three turn where you jump the turn is a Jumped three.

Don't get us started on Cherry Flips (toe-loops) and teapots (shoot the duck).

Then of course there's the scissors/swizzles/fish/lemons debate....
