Lutz Jump
The lutz is a counter rotation jump, meaning the skater glides into the jump in the opposite direction to which he will rotate the jump in the air. CCW skaters will glide clockwise into the jump but will execute the rotation in their natural counterclockwise direction. The juxtaposition of directions in the lutz makes it a difficult element.
