Double Axel + Euler + double flip
Double Axel (LFO, off the edge) through an Euler into a double flip (LBI, off the pick), 5.5 rotations in all.
Also called 2A+1Eu+2F. Other names.
Not checked yet. The mechanics on this page are a first draft by a non-expert, and no coach has seen them yet. Read them as a starting point and check them with a coach. Corrections are very welcome.
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 double Axel lands RBO and the Euler takes off from it, turns once and lands LBI on the other foot, where the double flip takes off. Nothing comes between them, and the Euler counts only here, between two jumps, as a single.
The flip here has no turn in front of it. The Euler lands on its takeoff edge, and the free foot’s toe goes in behind straight away.
At double the margin is small: the first jump has to leave enough speed to carry through the Euler into two full turns, and a last jump that comes up short is marked as under-rotated.
Derived
The double 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 double flip takes off from that same edge off the pick and lands RBO. 5.5 rotations in all, written 2A+1Eu+2F on a protocol sheet.
Made of the double Axel, the Euler and the double flip. 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.
