e. Flying Spins: A spin that must “fly” during the entry of the spin. No previous rotation on the ice before take off is permitted. The “flying position” may be executed in any position, but all skaters must be in the same flying position at the same time. A three-turn executed before the flight does not demonstrate a flying spin. After landing, all skaters must be in the same and correct spinning position for three revolutions for the spin to be counted.
10. Throw Jumps: Partner-assisted jumps in which one of the skaters is thrown into the air by another skater on the take off and lands, without assistance from the partner, on a backward outside edge. A throw jump may not rotate more than one revolution (in levels where they’re allowed).
11. Vault: A vault of not more than one revolution in which a skater(s) provides passive assistance to another skater(s) who turns/revolves, head over heels (or vice versa) in a cartwheel or somersault action. In this action, there is a continuous ascending and descending movement, where the vaulting skater rotates/revolves. The hands of a skater(s) providing the passive assistance may rise higher than shoulder-level height. Two vaults are allowed during the senior, junior and collegiate free skate. Vaults are non-permitted elements at all other levels.
B. Free Skating Moves: Moves such as lunges, spirals, Ina Bauers, spread eagles, hydroblading, Biellmann spiral, Charlotte and shoot the duck are examples of free skating moves permitted in synchronized skating. Free skating moves are allowed in elements such as creative element and move element. They may also be performed as transitional moves between elements or within an element to increase the difficulty of transitions and add variety/complexity to the program. A free skating move executed with an outside edge is considered different than the same type of free skating move executed with an inside edge. A free skating move executed forward is considered different than the same type of free skating move executed backward. To get credit for performing free skating move(s), each move must be held in the correct position and on the correct edge for at least three seconds. A free skating move with one change of edge must be held for a minimum of two seconds on each edge and for a total of four seconds. In the case when skaters change edges at different times, all skater(s) must hold the free skating move for at least two seconds on each edge. 1. Hydroblading: The skaters must show a low sit-like position that is counter balanced, where the supporting leg is bent to at least 90 degrees (parallel to the ice) and the free leg and hands are not resting on the ice surface. The skater’s torso, including the shoulders, are leaning far in toward the center of the circle, and the free leg is placed to the outside of that circle. The move must be executed on an edge and on one foot.
2. Ina Bauer: A two-footed movement in which the skater travels along the ice with one foot on a forward edge/ tracing and the other on a matching backward edge/tracing on a different but parallel edge/tracing.
3. Lunge: A movement, either forward or backward, on an edge or flat in which a skater travels along the ice with one supporting leg bent (with at least 90 degrees between the thigh and shin of the skating leg) and the other leg directed behind with the boot/blade touching the ice. The skater’s torso may be upright, bent forward, leaning backward or to the side. The free leg may be straight or bent and may be held to the back or side. The free foot may be in any position.
4. Shoot the Duck: The skaters must show a low position where the supporting leg is bent to at least 90 degrees (parallel to the ice) and the free leg is not resting on the ice surface. The skater’s torso may be upright or bent forward. The free leg may be straight or bent and may be held to the front or to the side. The move must be skated on an edge and on one foot.
5. Spirals: A glide on a long forward or backward, inside or outside edge in an arabesque position. To be counted as a spiral, the free leg (including knee and foot) must be held at least at hip level or higher than hip level. The position of the free leg may be backward, forward or sideways. a. Biellmann Spiral: The skater’s free foot is pulled from behind to a position higher than the head and toward the top of the head close to the central axis of the skater.
b. Charlotte: A glide either forward or backward on an edge or a flat. The skater’s body must bend forward a minimum of 135 degrees from upright so that the head and chest are close to the supporting leg. The free leg and supporting leg should be straight, with the free leg extended behind and held at a minimum of 135 degrees. The free leg may be supported or unsupported.
c. Spiral with a change of edge and free leg position: The free leg must remain at least at hip level or higher as it changes position. The free leg position may change from the front to the side or to the back, or any combination thereof.
d. Spiral 135 degrees: A glide on a forward or backward inside or outside edge where the skater’s body remains upright with the free leg held at a 135 degree angle to the skating leg. The free leg may be held to the front or to the side. The free leg and skating leg should be straight. The free leg may be supported (either by the same or another skater) or unsupported.
e. Spiral variation: A spiral position either to the front, side or back where the free leg is bent and supported (either by the same or another skater) or unsupported. The free leg must be held higher than hip level (including the knee and foot).
6. Spread Eagle: A two-footed movement in which the skater skates with one foot on a forward edge and the other on a matching backward edge on the same track (e.g. outside and outside).
