Axel + Euler + Salchow

Axel (LFO, off the edge) through an Euler into a Salchow (LBI, off the edge), 3.5 rotations in all.

Also called 1A+1Eu+1S. Other names.

The edges, drawn: the Axel's takeoff, the edge between each jump and the next, and the Salchow's landing. Each edge in between is one edge: one jump lands on it and the next leaves from it. The body is not drawn yet, because the Euler is not drawn on its own page either.

The Axel is the one jump here with a forward takeoff, so the first jump turns the skater from forwards to backwards. Its extra half turn means the landing has to be checked quickly to keep the speed.

The Axel lands RBO and the Euler takes off from it, turns once and lands LBI on the other foot, where the Salchow takes off. Nothing comes between them, and the Euler counts only here, between two jumps, as a single.

The Salchow here has no three turn in front of it. The Euler has already put the skater on the back inside edge, so the free leg swings through and the jump goes up from the landing.

Derived

The Axel takes off LFO off the edge and lands RBO; the Euler takes off from that same edge with no pick and lands LBI; the Salchow takes off from that same edge with no pick and lands RBO. 3.5 rotations in all, written 1A+1Eu+1S on a protocol sheet.

Made of the Axel, the Euler and the Salchow. Nothing here is stored on the page beyond the three jumps and the count.

A skater who rotates clockwise takes off RFO and lands on LBO: the same combination, mirrored.
