Skating levels 2

[Anon]

Seeing that me and figureskater010 have 'taken over' the first skating levels lol...
here's a chance for everyone else to comment

What levels are you on and where do you skate etc...

Completed the learn to skate UK programme and have now started private lessons with the immediate object of doing the passport, starting with bronze ...
Other stuff is in my profile ...

Hoping to get my bronze well before Christmas, all being well.

I skate in cardiff. I've completed the passport and am doing my level 1 free, field moves and elements on the 28th june.  I am aiming to do my level 3 maybe 4 tests before the end of the year, which my coach thinks I will do easily

Hi,


Well I passed my Level 2 after 5 weeks from been a complete non skater. I 'm doing Skate UK at Sheffield which is 60 miles from where I live but only 30 from where I work, the lessons are after work. I try and get on some ice once a week for about 2 hours to practice, usually back at Sheffield, but sometimes in Bradford. I'm stuck on the forward and backward skulling for level 3, I just can't do it, as you might have seen in my other post!

Hi Paul 2!!
Thats good for a non-skater.
This may sound random but if u imagine a lemon in your head before you do the skulling and then try and draw it on the ice... It helped me and alot of people i've seen struggling!!

Hi Anon,

Thanks for the random thought, I can see a lemon in my head, its getting the message to my feet that is the problem!

Thats ok lol

If u begin 2 do it with one foot (bit like a slalom) then u'll get the movement and then try to do it wit 2..
Sorry if i didn't help!!

Nah they deffo werent invented, the actual skate Uk courses are pretty new, they just used to do a set ov similar courses to skate uk that were set up and run by the individual rinks.
