Meet Sissel

I’m Sissel Svanoe Rhyme, the creator of GravityGlide® and I’d like to introduce you to this website and tell you a little bit about what the best way to use it is and why it exists in the first place. GravityGlide is about how to learn to figure skate much better once you know how to create a vertical axis through your skeleton.

Unlike other skating technique videos, I’m not going to start with the skate or the blade. Where I’m going to start is with your skeleton, with your movement patterns. And from there, talk about how that impacts what you do on the blade. And because we start in a different place, we also end up with a different answer to how we do things. This video explains how the website and skating information is presented, and why.

We hope you’ll enjoy the journey!
