I was recently watching ISU Grand Prix figuring skating event in japan. While watching numerous competitors throw down triple axels I began to think if they can get a triple or a 1080 1 foot off the ice I wonder how many spins try could do on a 100 ft jump? I'm not saying we should recruit A twinkle toes figure skater for the USA freestyle team I just would wonder how many spins they could do into the future.

Insane

unless jumps are bigger, I say it wont go past 1620 or 1800. Or at least I hope. It's already stupid ridiculous. Skiing is pretty much aerials now.

And figure skating is way different than skiing. I'm prety sure they jam their toe pick into the ice to throw them into a crazy spin, couldn't do that on skis you'd spin like crazy and do some nutty corks, while coming up nowhere near close to the knuckle
