- Shhh! Don't share this with your competitors! Massive jump technique principle in this 3 turn lesson!!! Who can comment on why the very end of the video is more than a cute fluke? I just had an epiphany as I edit and ponder! It will be the subject of a future video, with a whammy of 3 insights: one specific, another broader, and a 3rd epistemological.
Gary saludos. Ya extrañaba tus clases. ❤
Gracias 😊⛸👍⛸🌎🧝♀️
3 turns are something I have been learning this year. Any tip is a great tip for me. :)
One of the overlooked aspects of skating. Putting lean on the blade using body lean or stepping/aiming the blade out and or on an angle to the direction of travel then pressing on the proper part of the blade to decrease the radius of the edge for an automatic turn = easier ( turn happens naturally because the skater is using the blade properly by applying lean then pressure to the rocker of the blade, going from the blade’s large to the smaller radius.
Yes, I think most blades are curvier right behind the toe pick, aren't they, Dave? You can go to the back tip of the blade (and ideally no farther)for back turns because there is no pick at the back of the blade. Um, why not? Why picks only on the front? I know a lot about skating, but not that. I am trying to muster the courage to grind off the toe picks altogether. That would get rid of what I think in retrospect caused the double line exiting from the turn---instead of being on a flat.
@@GaryBeacom-FigureSkater Ronnie Robertson, known years ago as an amazing spinner told us at a clinic that he sharpened his blades in such a way that he rounded the front off a fair amount to reduce the bottom pick friction for spinning. Said that he didn’t spin faster than many of today but he could spin at top speed longer because of his sharpening
Last Year Christmas, I broke my bone while attempting a three-turn forward inside to backward outside, tripling myself during a skating lesson.
I landed on my left wrist when I tried to balance and put pressure on the ice. I wore a cast for three months, and I've been scared to do any turns or skating since then. Do you have any tips on how to regain confidence or feel safer on the ice?
I don't have any problems with outside forward three turns and feel very secure because I can always put my other leg down. However, that's not the case with forward inside three turns at all. (I'm a bit tall, 175 cm, and I'm an adult skater, so my center of gravity might be higher) any pro tips on that ? Thanks so Much Gary
I broke my left wrist late last year too! It has been a slow build up back to full confidence. I wear a lot of padding including long wrist guards, and I started back up with a lot of 2 feet skating before slowly regaining my 1 foot moves. I think the more ice time you have, even if you're being very cautious, the better. And keeping soft knees so falls are more controlled.
I’m also an adult skater, and I started skating from zero at age 51. I think lower body strength and knee bend are very important for avoiding falls. So is proper body weight alignment. When you have sufficient strength in your legs, you can quickly balance and often save yourself from falls. Start with doing squads off-ice. Next do the deep squad position (also off-ice) and then raise one leg straight. Hold it for as long as you can. If you can do shoot-the-duck on both legs, you’ll be much less prone to falls.
Another thing to consider: can you skate a straight line on one foot both forward and backwards? If not, then the placement of your blade may be off for you. This sometimes is the reason why it’s hard for you to balance. Notice on which foot going forward or backward you tend to curve inwards or outwards. Make a note or, better yet, video-record yourself. If you have a coach, have s/he observe you skate. If not, you can take your notes/recordings to an experienced person who knows how to mount figure skating blades.
You can make increments of progress without extending yourself beyond your comfort zone. Be patient in your recovery. Also watch some of my warm-up videos to improve sure-footedness.
