The '''Salchow jump''' is an edge jump. It was named after its inventor, [[Ulrich Salchow]], in 1909.<ref name="ISU Media Guide 23-24" />{{Sfn|Hines|2011|p=193}} The Salchow 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.<ref name="ISU Media Guide 23-24" /> It is "usually the first jump that skaters learn to double, and the first or second to triple".{{Sfn|Kestnbaum|2003|p=284}} Timing is critical because both the takeoff and the landing must be on the backward edge.<ref name="USFS-2"/> A Salchow is deemed cheated if the skate blade starts to turn forward before the takeoff, or if it has not turned completely backward when the skater lands back on the ice.{{Sfn|Kestnbaum|2003|p=284}}
