writing of this article I was pushed by memories of how two years ago I with the fellow students for the first time went to a skating rink. I was not able to ride absolutely, but in a couple of hours by means of familiar girls who were engaged in support group of ice-hockey team, acquired several valuable rules.
I quite often am on skating rinks and I see how most of people repeat practically the same mistakes which were made at the time also by me. So, here several advice which will help you to keep more or less surely on ice:
- Most likely, you should take skates in a hire. Carefully try on couple chosen by you, take skates on the size to footwear. The boot of the fad has to adjoin to a leg densely. It will allow you to control the movements better. If skates for you are big and will dangle standing, then the probability to erase skin standing in blood is high.
- Skates should be laced up densely as it is possible more strong. If you feel that boots nevertheless strongly press during driving – sit down on a shop and weaken a lacing.
- It is a little about position of legs. On direct legs nothing will turn out, it is necessary to bend them in knees.
- As you the beginner, do not make a start from ice teeth. In general, the push has to be made by an internal edge of a free leg, but if so at you does not leave, then you can experiment. For good stability you can also incline boots to each other.
- To start the movement slightly develop socks of boots in the parties that id: 194 but not in parallel.
- During the movement ID: 194
- To beginners to brake rather difficult, I right at the beginning braked about sides and columns in the middle of a skating rink. Ideally braking when sliding on one bent leg the free leg is taken out forward has to turn out and stops the movement by means of a heel or the developed edge.
- If suddenly fell, do not try to get up by means of hands. At first kneel, and then rise completely. By the way, if you manage to be grouped in falling, then try to fall sideways. At a severe bruise reach a side and recover the breath. To reduce risk of getting injured, put on soft hats and gloves.
- After a while you will notice that you began to skate better. Continue to self-improve and perfect new receptions on skates. Also do not hesitate to ask for the help more advanced skaters.
