Outside Edge Control: Skating Skill Practice

[zazzolina]

Are these exercises good just for hockey or also for figure skating? I mean... i'm a beginner, i'm learning the basic skills of skating...can i practice this without the stick or is it necessary for the balance... does the position change without the stick? Thank you!

@zazzolina These are good for all skaters, hockey as well as figure. No, the stick isn't necessary for balance. Just remember to keep the 3 elements for your balance in line with each other: Nose directly over the Knee directly over the Toe of the weighted skate.

@8fox261 thank you for your answer... technically are these cross rolls? i think i've learned something similar ... bye! :D

I love this dude.

I wish I could do this.. no real chance to practice it. Cant do it during public skating, too many kids everywhere. Certainly won't ever have empty ice like this..

[DouglasMikelas]

great tutorial. for some reason i am a pretty good skater but i have a huge problem with my outside edges, i cant get balance on them.

[szyldek]

how do you sharp your blades? Flat or with this little groove in the middle of the blade?

[bsdaemon666]

@szyldek wtf? Are you new to hockey? lol

[szyldek]

@bsdaemon666 what is your problem? would I ask if I knew? and yes, I am new to hockey

[bsdaemon666]

@szyldek lol.

[MrNjdevilsfan30]

yea i figuered hes to good a skater to fall during drills like this

[MrNjdevilsfan30]

have u had any bloopers doin these vids like tryin to do this and fallin on ur ass

[HockeyUsDotCom]

@MrNjdevilsfan30 no bloopers as far as falling on his ass :-) but some bloopers with shots, since he will try to aim at the post for a ding and miss it.

[hicom402]

thank you very much, it was really helpful.

I was wondering can u post video for how to stoping? I always struggle with stoping. Is there are easy way to practice on home and on the ice??

Fast Version Is Sick!!

[anticubicle]

Great drill. I've seen a lot of variations of it.

[guitared100]

Great videos guys! I improved a lot by watching a couple of topics then going out and practicing during free skate times. Your videos are some of the most descriptive I've found here. Keep them coming!!!

[labtec1233]

my ouside edge always slides like im stoping, is it becuase im not digging my skate hard enough into the ice?

[namtap]

I feel like I would just lose an edge trying this and spill really hard. I have terrible outside edge control, and I don't know how to fix that.

[Konakola]

Guys you gotta keep em comming!! I have improved significantly due to your videos. Gotta love the sound of his edges in the ice. Keep er' tight

[netminderx]

Wow, I'm very impressed with the skill training videos. Keep em' coming. Thank You

[smsno1]

these vids are far less patronising than most.

nice one.

[globalko]

I'm pro at that:pp well awsome!

[canadianmaple09]

Great vid, but having a mic attached to the guy instead of just the audio from the camera would really help, especially when he is skating.

[HockeyUsDotCom]

yes, we will try to fix it. We figured that hockey training is important and goes hand in hand with equipment reviews. So we decided to do a set of training videos and see what kind off feedback we gonna get. Based on feedback we will try to improve video and sound quality.

[hockeyxlife33]

[yohomy94]
