Add to “My Favorites” (Beta testing)This is great! I’m coming back to these videos to review since I’ve lost my axel this month. 😛 Back to the beginning!
This series of videos are great to build up consistancy within my skaters. It works well.
The transition is missing in this part. Could you please provide details on the footwork? My daughter is being told by her coach to do a 3-turn prior to stepping forward!
Michelle, there isn’t really any information to add to the details of the transition. I do not know of any top coaches who teach a 3-turn prior to stepping forward. Watch the video again and notice the skaters simply step from the back edge to the forward edge. Some coaches explain this push or step forward in different ways. Some explain it as something similar to an Ina Bauer and some may liken it to the first part of a 3-turn. But the vast majority keep it as simple as possible and simply acknowledge it as a step or push. Most skaters figure this out without problem.
