with Brian of http://BladeBlaze.com. How to 180 Outside Edge, 1 SK8:
Technical Ice Hockey Power Skating Instruction:
STEP #1: As shown, stick on the ice, line up both your skates parallel with the stick. Outside skate cross over inside skate and shaft. When wrapping around, lead with your inside skate (skate close to your turn), pump into the ice with the outside skate (do not allow both your skate blades to come off the ice) and dictate the 180 wrap with your lead skate / toes.
STEP #2: Once comfortable, when cross over, only keep the skate that crosses/lands on the ice, on the ice and the other skate off the ice as shown. Focus your vision and head directly into the centre of the shaft. This will help rotate your upper body towards the 180 turn. Not shown: You can point down both your fists directly into the ground/centre of shaft to help more, forcing your outside shoulder to rotate into the centre of your turn.

Much appreciated, glad the vid helps! The music is a section of a mix tape I made years back. Pure Vinyl, I'm an old school turntable real records dude. Background music was Shadow from his first album, I think 97, and the Beastie Boys was from 86, License to iLL, No Sleep til Brooklyn
