Two Foot Glide Exercise
Series: Vertical Axis and Forward Glide Point
The beginning of the journey to unite how you move in gravity with skating technique
A skill exercise to practice is a simple two-foot glide. Finding the proper glide point (in this case Forward Glide Point for forward direction) on the blade should mean that you can glide the full length of the rink, without pushes, and with no meaningful loss of speed.
