Recognising the Jumps

Walley (bi 1 Cbo)        Toe Walley (bi! 1 Cbo)

These jumps are rarely seen, and when they are, they're usually buried in the middle of a footwork sequence.  They are almost always a pleasant surprise, and judges generally remember you when you do them.  Both jumps are counter-rotated, and so are somewhat more difficult than the conventionally rotated jumps.  In fact, the actual Walley (the non-toe version) is quite difficult -- so much so that is almost never seen in a double or triple.  

For a conventional jumper, the jumps take off from a Right Back Inside edge (usually a short one, often stepped down from an LFO-3), and land on an outside edge of the same foot (RBO).
