What are some of the prerequisite skate skills needed to safely start learning how to wizard skate?
Спорт
In this video I show you 2 of the forward J-Turns (forward outside and forward inside). These J-Turns then progress into turn-spirals which become the entry curves into the 2 footed forward Gazelles.
Most skaters have a preferred turning direction and a preferred leg when it comes to weight bearing, so these 4 prerequisite turns will test your weaker turning direction and weaker leg. You might also discover that you aren't as fluent as you thought, or that you aren't as versatile as you'd like to be.
These "easy looking" skills and drills can really help to fill in the gaps in your skating repertoire and allow you to more easily learn more difficult moves like Gazelles.
It's very common for skaters to "run before they can walk" and attempt skills like Gazelles before they have the basic entry and exit curves fluently mastered (or at least in their regular practice routine).
The Skatefresh Online Wizard Skating course devotes Part 1 to these and other prerequisite skills (11 in total) so that you then don't get stuck when the wizard skating gets more complicated. This is the secret to learning more advanced manoeuvres; making sure you can do all the constituent parts BEFORE jumping ahead.
Check out the Wizard Skating online course here and watch students in their Wizard skating process (plus a full Trailer video from the course).

I got this course and the prerequisite lessons were eye opening, literally! They look easy but there were some surprises there for me. But when I worked on them I noticed that many other skills of mine got better! This helped me understand my "parallel" was not as good as I thought it was, for instance. As she says it’s like “filling in the gaps” and I see that’s the secret to learning difficult stuff like wizard skating. It’s an awesome process though. Each time I skate I notice improvements which is really motivating...hard, nonetheless cos this stuff ain't easy, but extremely motivating! Highly reccomended.

How's the wizard course going for you now a few months later? Are you seeing the progressive pathway and reaching further and further through the course as you practice? Or did you get stuck somewhere - happens sometimes, especially as things get harder eg going from gazelles to Cheetos. Suddenly everything is MUCH more challenging....

No problem! I'm convinced that a lack of prerequisite skills is responsible for 80% of skaters' problems. You can't build a car unless you have all the pieces ready to be assembled. Building a skill in skating is exactly the same and most people have several bits completely missing whether that's the ability to balance on one leg in a particular position, or on a particular edge etc. You can't add things together unless you have them all individually. That's what I try to teach, the missing pieces.

Yes he did an incredible job with that. The boards that hide him are actually wall dividers which had to open up to make the 2 studios into 1 larger space. It was very lucky they were there as otherwise filming with that mirror would have been almost impossible.
What skates do you have? Any recommendations for buying these type skates?

Hahahahah, I grew up in Oxford UK which has classic "BBC English" accent. Plus I teach a lot of non native English speakers so I want to be clear and precise. But I'm also a Virgo so it's probably that!

It's all the talking outdoors to groups of people on skates. My voice has always been deep and croaky... Not good for modern tech that's for sure....
