Double Axel + Euler + double Salchow
Double Axel (LFO, off the edge) through an Euler into a double Salchow (LBI, off the edge), 5.5 rotations in all.
Also called 2A+1Eu+2S. 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 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.
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 Salchow takes off from that same edge with no pick and lands RBO. 5.5 rotations in all, written 2A+1Eu+2S on a protocol sheet.
Made of the double Axel, the Euler and the double 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.
