Skating Basics: Backward Inside Edges (Karen Heng Olson)

Karen Heng Olson explains how she teaches the back inside edges for the Pre-Pre USFS Moves in the Field Test. Notice that Karen goes back to the beginning and teaches backward stroking again, even if the skater already knows it (“Make a C, lift the foot in front”). The “C push” is a critical foundation skill for this pattern.

    Yay, I’m so glad you’re posting videos Karen! I was actually going to suggest that they ask you to, haha 🙂 You helped me so much when I took field moves lessons from you several years ago. This advice will definitely help me teach my beginning students better! Please post more! 🙂
