Practice Ideas: Forwards Edges

- At the core of our skating are our edges, they allow us to skate steps and elements and perform programmes, in essence they are the letters that form the words and write the stories we are presenting on the ice. Without solid basics the “cool tricks” will be unsupported, difficult and unpredictable, so spend the time building a strong foundation by spending at least 33% of your practice time on edges and basics (when you first start learning the jumps and spins aim for more in the range of 50-75%).
Here are a few simple exercises to help you get started strengthens your forwards edges:
1. Forward outside serpentine swing rolls.
2. 3 x forward cross rolls (outside edges!), hold the third edge for a complete circle with the free leg extended behind.
3. Serpentine outside, open chasse (inside), outside with a draw up and close.
4. Forward inside swing rolls.
5. “Russian stroking” (serpentine forwards inside edge, forwards progressive run).
6. Forwards progressive run, forward outside to inside swing change-of-edge, hold the inside edge for a complete circle.
You are sure to see the improvements throughout your skating by putting in the time on your edges. Work hard and have fun in the ice! ⛸❤️

@@hannahhetebrijiceskatingco5328 , I've had so fun doing your exercises. I don't know but I think my forward edges and crossovers have improved thanks to your advice :) Our rink closed the door yesterday for summer, opens in September. Anyhow, I try to get skating somewhere , nearest rink 40 min drive from here. :D Good skatings to you --Anu
