figure skate
Toe-picked ice blade
A figure skate is an ice skate designed for figure skating, with a tall boot for ankle support and a blade with a toe pick—serrated teeth at the front used for jumps and spins.
As a verb, to figure skate is to perform on ice with choreographed movements: She's been figure skating since she was five.
