Hi
Today was my first ice skating lesson and I learned a new skill only I cannot remember what it is called. It has a name and I think it begins with S but I am not sure what it is.
Basically what I had to do is, skate around the painted circle on the ice. I would glide on my left foot and push with my right. As my right foot came level with my left, I would lift the left up so that the blade is parallel with the ice. When placing the left foot back onto the ice I would push with it, the free leg would be extended. The free leg would then come back next to the left leg, left leg lift parallel and when placed down again push.
I was told that this is something I will learn before i start to do crossovers but I cannot remember what the name of this technique is called. Can anyone help me?
