Real stories from the ice
The hallmark of a GravityGlide skater is the ability to glide the length of the rink on one foot with impeccable balance and no noticeable loss of speed.
“For the first time, I felt safe and comfortable.”
Four years ago, I was skating in a ski helmet, falling over backward nearly every time I attempted a 3-turn, and terrified of stroking at speed. I kept taking lessons, but nobody could tell me what I was doing wrong. I was told to ‘try a little harder and just get over it.’
With Sissel and GravityGlide, I immediately felt safe and comfortable. I’ve mastered those 3-turns and a few more besides… I’ve made incredible progress and may even compete in the future!

“I have now gained essential new insights…”
After over 30 years of figure skating with a variety of coaches, I have no gained essential new insights into my skating technique since Sissel became my instructor two years ago. Her approach to skating begins with an understanding of the blade and how it interacts with the balance of the skater’s body moving through space. It is not merely a matter of mastering specific steps or figures, but the method focuses on an integrated technique that applies to every move.
