Hi this seems stupid but what are the difference between waltz jump and axel jump. Bc their entries look the same?
The waltz jump is an introductory jump, it’s the easiest because it’s only half a revolution in the air. You’re basically just turning around from forward to backwards via a jump. An axel, while also entered from forward, is a full revolution and then an extra half revolution to land backwards. It’s the hardest of all the single jumps because it’s technically not even a single as it’s got 1.5 revs, the same way a waltz isn’t a single because it’s only 0.5 revs.
