Double flip + Euler + double flip

Double flip (LBI, off the pick) through an Euler into a double flip (LBI, off the pick), 5 rotations in all.

Also called 2F+1Eu+2F. Other names.

The edges, drawn: the double flip's takeoff, the edge between each jump and the next, and the double flip'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 flip leaves a back inside edge, vaulting off the toe of the free foot, and lands on the back outside edge the second jump takes off from.

The double flip 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 flip takes off LBI off the pick 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 rotations in all, written 2F+1Eu+2F on a protocol sheet.

Made of the double flip, 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 RBI and lands on LBO: the same combination, mirrored.
