Yep, there are six kinds of jumps. There’s the toe loop, the Salchow, the loop, the flip, the Lutz, and the Axel. You can tell them apart by how someone takes off before jumping... for the Salchow, you take off from the back inside edge of your foot and use knee bend to launch yourself.

[She’s been skating for most of her life, so she can very easily infodump about skating jumps. Also because she named her kids and her Pokemon after them.]
