Xtreme Ice Skating - Eagle Turn (element) - tutorial

[soffiethetoffee]

ive tried doing this but when ever i go into the eagle turn position I just spin around in a really small circle. Do you have to dig ur blade into the ice because im not doing that.

@soffiethetoffee Go slow, put arms out, and hold the edge using your hip flexor muscles.

[Prolite]

No lol. I'm not that flexible.

@Prolite That's what she said.

[Prolite]

@craxxxxxxy huh?

[craxxxxxxy]

@Prolite You said I'm not that flexible...

I said That's what she said...

I made a joke. Sorry if you didn't understand the humor...

[Prolite]

@craxxxxxxy Oh, couldn't keep track.

@Prolite im amazed you cant do that. i thought it was pretty basic. alot of people spint out when they see me doing it. there are like 5 people at my rink that can. (on hockey skates) theres this old dude that can generate momentem skating sideways its like a snake sort of skating.

[Prolite]

@ImAussieMate I can generate momentum doing Eagle Turns sideways, but what I can't do is hold the Eagle Turn in a straight line. That simply has to do with flexibility. I'm not a flexible person. The balance part is easy though.

how much does groin flexability play in the eagle turn? because whn ever iv tried this before my feet wernt parralel enough and it would make me spin. i do hav quite good flaxability though...

thanx for the vid

[Prolite]
