Instruction
1. Choice of skates. Figured skates, hockey, running, walking – on what you wouldn't stop, the main thing – feeling of comfort. The boot has to be at least on the half-size more, try on skates on warm socks. Skates from imitation leather are blotted less and quicker dry, from genuine leather – well absorb moisture, legs in them won't mist over, from plastic – more rigid and cheaper than the others. Try on different models, define in what it is more convenient to you.
2. The first steps. Having stepped into ice, find balance. Receive the main pose: bend knees and slightly incline the case forward, try to walk on ice, without tearing off legs from the surface. The situation isn't so hopeless as it seems on the first time, use the side for the safeguarding. Having felt more surely, begin sliding. You hold legs at a small angle to each other. It is necessary to make a start the inside edge of the fad. Having made a start, you slide on other fad. At the same time body weight needs to be transferred from the take-off foot to basic. Learn to slide on each leg serially.
3. Sliding. Having learned to take the long step, it is possible to start development of more difficult elements: • sliding on outside edges of skates is the run around when the free leg at statement it on ice is crossed ahead to the bearing leg; • sliding "small lamp" – when you move on ice at the expense of data and leg split; • sliding by the back forward, etc. Long trainings will allow to improve your skill and to carry out various arches, banners, spirals, spins and jumps.
4. Braking. It is possible to carry out braking in different ways: pressing on the inside edge of the fad of that leg which is behind, or the turn across the movement of foot of the leg which is ahead. Braking by the nosochny or calcaneal part of the fad inadmissibly as it is fraught with getting injured.
