I've been skating for only about a month longer than you, but do you mind if I give you some advice? Don't skate with your feet level - make sure one foot is in front of the other, especially downhill. Having your feet together is really unstable. Great progress though! x

Also you probably need to wear a skate that's 1.5 sizes lower than your shoe size. It will feel too tight when you try it on but it's not. Your toes should touch the ends of your boot or it's too big. When I got a smaller skate it helped a lot.
@littleripper3126 күн бұрын
One thing I want to say to beginners is go out 10 times before you give up. The first sessions are really hard and these things will seem impossible. If you just keep practicing your body starts to magically learn them and balance improves. When you first start it's a shock to the system and your body isnt taking in so many new things all at once constantly. As you learn a few things it's less over-whelming.

For me the best way was to cruise on one leg for as long as i could while tucking the raised leg behind your leg at the calve. you cant pronate or supponate (much) when keeping your center of mass above the cruising leg. This gave me strength to do all sorts of basic skills like cross overs, t- brake and later parallell turn. Also once you get strength and balance i try to do the double push when cruising. push off with my right foot raise and tuck behind left foot and cruise on left foot first supponating for the first push and then pronating for the left second push to start cruising on right foot. It helps at first to tighten the ankle cuff tight to stay stabile not pronating or suponating too much and when stronger loosen the cuff to get more ankle control.

Life was easier in the past, my dad just showed me the "Piza Walk" and I learned everything else alone, because I wanted to. Now, unless you can teach your children how to do a double back flip first try in one day, they say it's boring. Nothing fun and exciting comes in first try, it comes with persistence and desire to learn and get better. Good tips, will try to show some of them and see if they wake up the interest.

@@shannon.skates I had to really change the way I skate during the busy summer months. I look before I leap & try to scout out the stretch of the path I am cruising down before I start rolling.

I don’t know why but I’d guess that it’s because of a combination of things at the rink that includes fewer hard & sharp surfaces (curbs, planters, etc), no vehicular (auto/bike/moto/etc) traffic going at higher speeds, smoother skate surface (fewer wheel stops, holes, etc), and at least on the rink everyone is going in a similar range of speeds and in the same direction.
