A handbook of figure skating arranged for use on the ice; with over six hundred diagrams and illustrations . and the left, re-ceiving most of the weight, acts as a pivot, turns slowlyforward, and follows the right as at the start. If the leftfoot precedes the right, the progression will be made fromleft to right, instead of from right to left. When thisgrapevine is perfected, it may be skated more easily andgracefully all on the outside 180 Double Grapevines: 177, with flip of foot—three-point;178, with loop inside ; 179, with loop outside ; 1S0, withdouble loop. A whole revolution of the body produces the DoubleGrapevine (M-W. 264s±; M. 8032; MxW. 185144-5;g 13311920). (pigs. 177-9.) A revolution and a halfproduces the variety illustrated in Fig. r8o. The flip of thefoot of Fig. 177 is characteristic of the Philadelphia Twist(Fig. 181, M-W. 26686; M. 83s4; MxW. 187^65 85 i8i —Philadelphia Twist B. 134121). In Fig. 182, the rotation of the body abovethe hips is just going to carry the right foot round, assisted by a flip of the ankle,— the complete revolution leaving four points up. If at the first grapevine turn (A, Fig. 18 3 ) the left foot; turned first (Fig. 184) and the right swings round parallel with it by a half revolution of the body, the points C D will be inside A B. If the curve A B intersects C D (as it will, if the turns are made with the legs wide apart) the result is the Scissors Grape-vine ( n
