hey guys is Mary welcome back to my channel today we're going to do basic
5 yeah hope you guys are ready for this one our first skill is a
backwards outside edge on our right foot on a circle and our goal is to hold the
edge for six full seconds first we have a back outside edge let's start off on a
two foot back edge on a circle once you find that balance lift the outside leg
just a few inches above the ice so basically your free foot is right next
to your skating foot remember to look backwards the direction you are going
try not to hit anyone of course the secret key here is to keep your
shoulders and hips level if you drop the shoulder or the hip you will go off of
your circle the next skill we are going to learn is a back inside edge same
thing holding it for six seconds we're trying to keep a nice steady edge and
trying out a wobble the next we have a moving back inside edge on the circle
same as prior except we're lifting the leg on the inside of the circle remember
the weight is going to be more forward on the blade
for our next skilll we are going to do backward crossovers moving on the circle
our goal is to do four to six crossovers trying to gain speed and trying to avoid
the toes scratching now we have back crossovers this is super exciting guys
an intro drill I'd like to start off with is doing back swizzle pumps so
get the feet together then just crossing the feet over once that feels
comfortable we can try a full crossover slightly lean inside the circle knees
are bent arms lined over the circle we are looking backwards first push is a
strong cut pushing away from the foot that is gliding and tracking on that
circle focus on a powerful push into the crossover instead of a big reach
remember the second push is an undercut we're gonna push off the blade point our
toes and straighten that back leg this is often neglected so remember to strong
pushes on strong edges for nice beautiful crossovers note the common
mistake here is a really weak under push the second push so it just looks
awkward for our next skill we are going to master the forward outside three turns I
think this is the trickiest skill on the struggle after a third free turn our
goal is to hold the edge for three now we have forward outside three turns
this is probably one of the trickier skills on this level we can warm up with
a two-foot return or also a nice exercise is starting with a two foot
three turn just picking up our foot for a few seconds turning on one foot and
quickly setting it down key things on the three turn here arms are over the
circle feet are shaped like an upside down T to push off avoid toe pushes of
course get to the top of our mini circle turn there during our three turn four
looking slightly inside the circle slightly pre rotating the arms and the
shoulders to help turn I didn't do this here but what also helps is looking back
after turning the direction you want to end up so let's also talk about our
weight on the blade we're gonna rock up to the ball of our foot to turn and
after the turn we're going to gliding backwards on the front slash middle ish
of our blade some common mistakes are turning too late and also forcefully
turning just let your body naturally rotate nothing jerky
remember our 2 foot spin and basic 4 comes back again in basic 5
this time our goal is to bump up the revolutions from two to total of four to
six revolution for our two foot spin start with a pivot arms and legs are
pulling in at the same time as you push off strongly on your foot try to balance
on the ball of our feet equal weight on the left and the right
try not to crunch forward or drop the shoulders that will throw our spin off
balance and off center this is exciting guys we are going to learn a new stop the
hockey stop pretty similar to the snowplow stop
we're going to have both feet parallel to the ice and check our hips strongly
to the side a new stop whoo-hoo this is the hockey stop start with our feet
together just a few inches apart our shoulders are in a straight line we're
going to bend and quickly pivot our hips and feet to the side while keeping the
shoulders and arms still the blade will skip to a completes
for our last skill the bonus skill we are going to do a side toe hop
we're just going to tap tap so bring the feet together and
glide start off small then gradually work to bigger hops bringing the feet
together in the air when we land on our glide chest is up right while we skate
