Good stuff, but you should film in landscape mode, you get much more in the frame.
Great video
These videos are just pure gold. I wish I could attend your practice but it's quite a trip from Copenhagen, Denmark.
Whoa! Yeah. That’s far. I glad you are liking them. More to come.
Ive always taught to lift the foot versus drag the toe, thoughts? A bit like a swing.
You are 100% correct. Lifting the foot is correct when going backwards to change direction but not stopping. In these examples, Im using the term “soft drag” language as a means on continuity between moves. A side ways “referee stop” is a soft drag. Skating backwards and then turning without crossing over is unique in its technique… but that inside leg softens while we use gravity to drop and turn… exactly like a “soft drag” but without the “drag”.
When I get to the details of that Reverse soft drag… I also teach it more as a soft leg… but it’s lifted off the ice.

@@kellianhockeyskilldevelopm2321 Ok this is helpful - so I shouldn't be concerned if my inside skate blade (the one that is not c-cutting) is not dragging?
This technique is so amazing! Much thanks for these great breakdown videos!
