| Element name: | Cantilever |
| Inventor: | Werner Groebli |
The cantilever is a figure skating element. Similar to the spread eagle, the skater travels along a deep edge. With knees bent, the skater bends his or her back backwards, parallel to the ice.
It was invented by Werner Groebli, better known as "Mr. Frick", a long-time show skater with Ice Follies. More recently, it became one of Ilia Klimkin's signature moves.
