edge pull , auch: power pull

Edge pulls can be performed either forwards or backwards.

An edge pull is a skill in figure skating that allows the skater to gain speed while skating on one foot by rocking between inside and outside edges.

Edge pulls are considered a fairly basic moves in the field skating skill and appear most commonly in competitive skating programs as a means to maintain or gain speed in step sequences performed on one foot.

For example, edge pulls are a normal entry to a Walley jump, and a skater can do a series of Walleys by executing an edge pull from outside to inside between the jumps.
