How to learn to skate

Step 1
If you take the skates for hire, they should not be "two sizes bigger." The denser the shoe fits the foot, the better you can control your movements. Also in the dangling skates are more likely to wipe the skin into the bloodstream. Take your size! If it's not too cold or you ride in a closed rink in thick socks, as there is no need
Step 2

Tight lace skates - not only on hooks, but the holes at the bottom. Do not be afraid to tighten too tight: rental skates are usually of poor quality, very worn. Better than you in a few minutes skating sit on the bench and loosen the laces than fall because of bad overextended skates.Step 3
You stood on the ice (holding so far overboard, or near it) for you to figure skates. The first thing to do and always remember this: bend your knees. On straight legs you will not go anywhere, and if they go, the path will be short-lived.Step 4
In any case not repel tooth. In general, remember that you have to skate have teeth. So far, you do not need. (If you're not a fan of figure skating competitions, in general, nothing prevents you from even put hokkeyki, not figure skates).Step 5
How could move? Experiment. In theory, a push is an internal edge of the free leg, but it's likely that you will not say anything right now. Importantly, repeat out loud: no tooth.Step 6
Few materiel: runner is not quite as thin as a knife, it has the thickness and the edges of the blades along their entire length - this is the edge. In a well-sharpened blades are separated by a shallow groove on rolling as the blade almost flat. So, a basic step in figure skating is on the outer edge of the ridge. It's the rules. But in practice, you still do not come out. Therefore, after you've bent my knees, "skosolapte" shoes, bending them to each other. Know that you are standing on the inner edges.Step 7
Now expand a little wear shoes in hand, the legs did not go in parallel and at an angle. Spread the arms to the side, and you can start a movement (watch out for teeth!).Step 8
Important: carry weight in the process of movement from foot to foot. You bent my knees? Alternately slightly straighten them and then bend, shifting the center of gravity that one to the other leg. Here, you have a little ride.9 Step
And how slow? To prove that I'm almost as a beginner, like you, I confess: I slow down and she almost can not! However, you meanwhile are moving too slowly. But maybe you'll get by sliding on one bent leg and bring the free leg forward and slow down the ice edge of the heel or deployed (easier to heel). But the teeth to slow again, not intended for.10 Step
Oops, you stretched out on the ice! Familiar. Do not try to stand up, pushing his hands back and lifting the pelvis. Stand on the first lap. There are rules and downs, but you know them is optional. Still all the while that happens to you too fast to have time to regroup and fall on its side.11 Step
Arose after the fall, do not try to immediately go on to prove to myself and others that you are in good order. The fall on the ice causes a light shock, especially if you hit the rib cage. Get to the side and otdyshites.12 Step
For the first few hours spent at the rink, you will ride much better and marvel at his own success. But while that is not in a hurry for those who are masterful skate since childhood. Go at your own pace. You will notice that people like you, at the rink quite a lot. However, it is time to let go overboard or arm escort. If you always hold on to something else for a long time do not learn to skate.
