While we take a break from our Sunday classes, we've taken the opportunity to do a little (long overdue) video, so you have some things to work on during August.
We thought we'd start with this toe-toe manual tutorial.
This is something we would usually introduce in our skills workshop, after the fundamental skills are fairly secure.
If you don't have a membership to our website, you won't be able to access the video! We offer memberships at various levels, just head to our Join the Gang page to pick the right one for you.
We'd recommend you can follow the steps and start backwards, so that you can work on this wearing toe stops. If you lift your heel too high skating forwards, you may trip over your toe stop.
Remember to hold your core tight, and look where you're going.
When you're skating backwards, we find it easier to imagine you are leading with your heel, forwards, skating with your toe and controlling the movement with the knees.
Have fun and tag us with how you get on!
