Sliding on skates is not difficult. We can say that sliding on ice and roller skates, almost the same. There is a difference between braking techniques, since skates are sharp and stupid. The easiest way to learn to slow down on sharp skates, and then it will be easier to adapt to stupid skates. Sharp skates allow you to cut ice deeper, which affects a significant slowdown of sliding movements on ice, and stupid ones more affect sliding, but also allow you to stop abruptly, only experience require a little more.
How to brake sharply on skates
How to brake sharply on skates? For stopping during sliding, many ways have been invented, but each of them carries out, both sharp braking on skates, and contributes to a smooth slowing down. They will learn sharp braking, it should be in two stages, for starting to stand, weave movements with your feet, and then on the go, but smoothly increase the speed.
The following techniques are described in detail that beginners are taught, and they are also very practical and most of them are used by professional skaters and skaters. The reception of the “semicircle” allows you to carry out sharp braking at any speed, and the braking distance will be from 50-60cm. The method is quite simple and does not require much experience of skiing enough confidence and courage. The second method is called the “plow” contributes to the rapid slowing down. The skater must: sit down, trying to transfer the weight to the heels and sharply reduce your legs. The main method of sharp inhibition is the transfer of weight from two legs to one during the process occurs strong pressure on the ice by the edge of the skate. In this case, the skater stops sharply and the next sliding step will not happen without effort. But there are also many ways to stop the ice rink.
How to brake sharply on skates
During braking, you should honor the sliding speed on the ice and correctly choose the angle of inclination of the body. It should be clearly distributed and try not to fall asleep, and it will also be mistaken if you braking on straight legs.
Sudden braking techniques should be carried out at a distance from the side or it is best to try to slow down in parallel to the side or any other fencing of the ice rink. It is holding these simple tips and rules that will help to commit safe braking, both for the skater himself and for the surrounding visitors of the rink.
