The most important thing to put on ice skates is to tie the shoelaces tightly. The shoelaces should be tightened from the bottom to make full use of the length of the shoelaces. Wrap them around the ankle to increase fixation, and finally tie them without inserting your fingers into the shoelaces. Wearing ice skates can compensate for the lack of ankle strength, allowing you to slide faster and more steadily!
Why slide counterclockwise on the ice rink?
This is determined by the physiological structure of the human body. The heart is on the left side of the human body, and sliding counterclockwise can lower the center of gravity. At the same time, the left leg provides better support and the right leg spans more.
Can you slide with an external blade?
Using only the inner blade to slide is a common mistake made by beginners. You should use the outer blade to step out of the foot, slide forward with the front blade, and then use the inner blade to kick the ice. This can prolong the sliding time, reduce friction, and make the sliding faster and faster.
