Pivot

By , About.com Guide

Definition: A pivot is an ice skating move that resembles a spin. The skater places the blade's toe pick into the ice. For a forward inside pivot, the figure skater then pushes with the other foot, and skates around the toe and makes a complete circle around the stationary toe. To do a back inside pivot, the procedure is simply reversed.
