Skating for someone your favorite hobby or habitual lesson, others just dream of standing on the ice. Overbill the first fear and get acquainted with the theoretical foundations of skiing All newcomers will be able to in this article. How to start and how to proceed with the first skating attempts - read further.

You need to start with the choice of skates. Girls are better to study on curly skates, and guys - on hockey. Whether it was really that it was true, or the truth is more convenient, but all lovers make this choice. Regardless of whether you take the skates for rent or buy new, choose your size. Know that you will be uncomfortable in ice skating more, even if we are about five woolen socks. This inconvenience threatens you with strong corners at least and complete helplessness as a maximum, because of what you do not learn to ride and even stand on ice.

Clothes on the rink should not be too thick and hot. During the skiing, you will be constantly in motion. And the smaller you have experience, the stronger will have to strain, and therefore sweat. The best form for shapes for riding is thermal underwear, leggings or pants, as well as a sweater. Just in case you can wear a demi-season short jacket if the roller is indoor. Gloves or mittens will use you for two reasons: the skin of the hands will be protected from the tempering, and the palms are less vulnerable when falling.

When you put on the ice, do not hurry to move away from the sides. Before making the first attempt to move, wait a bit, feel the balance. To do this, tilt the housing a little forward, and keep your feet barely bent in your lap. During the rack, the feet socks are directed inside and look at each other. So, standing on the inner rides of the skates, you will never "melt" in different directions.

To start moving on ice, expand socks to the sides. One leg in front of another, while not sprinkling the knees and do not deviate the body back, while you hold onto the side. Make a sliding step forward in front of the front, rear edge repel. While you did not learn to confidently ride, in no case are not repelled by the tooth, even if they are on your blades.

Most likely the first couple of steps you do not very confidently, and your path will stop at this. You hang on the boards of the rink or you will fall. Do not despair, continue attempts. To climb from ice, stand on all fours and, leaning on the hands, climb first on one knee, then tighten the second leg. Now it remains the most difficult - go into a vertical position, taking your hands from the ground. Do not forget about bent knees.

Continue attempts to skate. During movement, transfer your weight from foot to foot. The center of gravity is always on that leg, which is ahead. The back helps to push off and move forward. The blades of the skates are located in the Christmas tree. If you never even face skates, then the outlined instructions are not completely clear to you. But when you find yourself on the rink and try to drive at least a few steps yourself, then you will come up with theoretical knowledge. And after a few hours you will need information not only about how to ride, but also how to brake on ice.

First time you will have only two available ways to stop: crash into board or other person, as well as fall. The latter will be much more likely, but do not despair. Try to stay like this: Holding the balance on one leg during slip, the second to turn forward and stick the heel into the ice or the unfolded edge. It is possible that after the first attempt so to slow down, you will fall, try to grind so as not to get injuries of the head and other parts of the body.
Watch that during the riding the skates were tightly tightened and laced on all loops, fastenings, fasteners. For children, choose skates without lacing, because it is unlikely that the baby will strengthen a long time until you lace his shoes for skiing.
