“Camel spin”? All definitions courtesy of USFSA .
Initial Thought: OK, I've definitely heard of a "triple axel" before. Not entirely sure what an axel jump is, though. I think it's when you're skating forward and then you jump and turn around the other way.
Definition: "One of the most difficult jumps, which takes off from the forward outside edge and is landed on the back outside edge of the opposite foot. A single Axel consists of 1.5 revolutions, a double is 2.5 revolutions, and a triple is 3.5 revolutions."

Reaction: Eh, close enough.
Initial Thought: Like a March Madness bracket? Is that what we're talking about? I'm already so confused. Ummm... a bracket is when skating partners hold hands?
Definition: "A turn from forward to backward or backward to forward that is executed on one foot in the direction opposite the curve from an outside edge to an inside edge or vice versa with the exit curve continuing on the same lobe as the entry curve."

Reaction: Wait. What? Is it just turning around? I don't know how to make sense of any of those last few words. This is stupid. It should totally be when partners hold hands. "Oh, that's a strong bracket!" You know?
