Skaters Movement Clinic

Episode 1: “Basic skating skills that are actually super hard!” There’s not one way to do something in skating. There are no right or wrong. There are different schools of thoughts on technique, but at the end of the day you have to choose what works for you. Today I break down the forward three turn. This is a step that I have struggled a lot in the beginning and it never ceases to teach me about edge control and rotation. In the following episodes, I want to highlight things that are seemingly “easy” but are actually very difficult to execute correctly and with finesse. These basic skills are really a skaters building block to become a better skater and are often overlooked by shinier things such as fancy jumps or spins. I on the other hand love spending time on dissecting basic skating skills. To me it is like a puzzle waiting to be figured out. 🧐🤓 #
