- The lutz jump is Paul Wylie's favorite. It's not mine. Here is day two of fixing the flutz and learning proper technique with the back outside eight. For lessons with Paul: gowylie@me.com
A "flutz" in figure skating refers to a technical mistake that occurs during a jump, specifically the Lutz jump. The Lutz is a toe jump in which the skater takes off from the back outside edge of one foot and rotates in the air before landing on the back outside edge of the opposite foot.
A flutz happens when a skater unintentionally takes off from the inside edge instead of the correct outside edge on the entry to the jump. This mistake can result in deductions from the judges, as it deviates from the prescribed technique for the Lutz jump. Skaters strive to execute jumps with proper technique, and a flutz is considered an error in the execution of the Lutz. Skaters and coaches work on refining jump techniques to avoid such errors and improve overall performance in competitions.
The Lutz jump is one of the six primary jumps in figure skating and is named after its inventor, Alois Lutz. It is a toe jump, which means the skater takes off from the toe pick of one skate. The key distinguishing feature of the Lutz is that it takes off from the back outside edge of the skating foot.
Here's a breakdown of the Lutz jump:
Approach: The skater typically skates backward on one foot, using crossovers and edges to build speed and set up for the jump.
Takeoff: The Lutz jump requires the skater to take off from the back outside edge of the skating foot. This means that the skater should be rotating in a counterclockwise direction for a Lutz taken off from the left foot, and clockwise for a Lutz taken off from the right foot.
Rotation: While in the air, the skater executes one or more rotations. Skaters often perform double, triple, or even quadruple Lutz jumps in advanced competitions.
Landing: The skater lands on the back outside edge of the opposite foot from the takeoff foot. Maintaining control and stability upon landing is crucial for a clean execution of the jump.
The Lutz is a challenging jump, and skaters must demonstrate proper technique and control to earn positive scores from judges. It is important for skaters to avoid a flutz, which is a mistake where the takeoff is executed from the inside edge instead of the required outside edge, leading to deductions.
Paul Wylie is an iconic American figure skater celebrated for his artistry and resilience in the sport. Discovering his love for figure skating at a young age, Wylie's talent became evident as he clinched victory at the 1981 World Junior Figure Skating Championships. His breakthrough moment came at the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville, France, where he captured the silver medal with a mesmerizing performance, defying the odds as an underdog.
He trained with many of the best minds in the sport, including Evy Scotvold, Mary Scotvold, Carlo Fassi, John Nicks, Christa Fassi, Christy Krall, Dianne Miller and Gus Lussi.

I feel Dave’s frustration. When I used to get into ruts and not land a jump, I would stop and visualize what the perfect jump would look like. After a couple visualizations, I would often land the jump. Dave can do it!
Great tutorial, so very helpful on so many levels. I am the greatest flutzer, I really have to take it back to basics. What makes this so helpful is watching a video of you being taught through the process rather than someone just demonstrating the perfect lutz. I’m loving all these Paul Wylie lessons … thank you 🙏
Glad it was helpful!
Good job Dave! Love the bright pink sweater 💖
❤️❤️🙏
Yessss.....great to see him getting nitty gritty with the foot position and the shift of weight. That's exactly what I was trying to say in my comment on your previous video, but he's definitely saying it in more correct and precise terms here. Love to see him focusing on those details. The exercise he has you doing out of the back spin reminds me of a PSA clinic I attended a long time ago with Mark Mitchell and Peter Johansson. They had skaters reach for flip and lutz and pull back into a loop. Really helped with the shift of weight.
Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing a lesson where you were struggling to process everything. It helped me see it through a different lens as a coach and a skater. It was really helpful. Thank you!
I'm so glad!
15:08 bravo! a proper one! ....also 22:48 omg I'm dying in laughter, he says "What in the world" and you go around with your arm in such a funny position.
I always have remembered the idea of potential energy in a lutz jump and the "h" position. It was great to have Paul explain where to put your right foot.
I desperately wanted to grab your arms at times, but only with the best of intentions. 😉
Thank you for this wonderful masterclass.
The lutz, by far, is my favorite jump. 😍
I’m working on my arms off the ice. I have upper cross syndrome, which limits their mobility and control. I’m working on it daily with Karen Courtland Kelly.
@@TheSkatingLesson I always had the same struggle and had to work really hard at it. I don't know if you've started backward outside brackets, but those will really push you to stretch out that upper body counter to the motion.
I learn so much thank you for sharing your journey - and Paul is so articulate and detailed
Lutz technique has a mind of their own !!!
Good job Dave! not to easy
MAGENTA!!!!! so cute
❤️❤️❤️
does Dave flutz?
I got called on a Flutz and stopped doing my lutz in competition until I could fix it.
