The '''salchowSalchow jump''' is an edge jump in [[figure skating]]. It was named after its inventor, [[Ulrich Salchow]], in 1909. The salchowSalchow is accomplished with a takeoff from the back inside edge of one foot and a landing on the back outside edge of the opposite foot. It is "usually the first jump that skaters learn to double, and the first or second to triple".<ref name="cultureonice-284"/>{{rp|Kestnbaum, p. 284}} </ref> Timing is critical because both the takeoff and landing must be on the backward edge.
