HEY EVERYONE!! I just got back from practice today at Veterans Memorial Ice Rink, and I must say that along with practicing my One-Foot Glide and finding that I'm getting better with it (at least holding on to the wall LoL.). I once again got taken around the rink by another Skater...and she said I did very well. Another Skater even told me a trick to get yourself used to skating away from the wall...and I don't know if anyone here has been taught this. But she said that if you walk or march a little bit away from the wall facing the ice, and then step back again towards the wall,and keep doing that...It will help you get used to not needing the wall. Has anyone here ever been taught this? I must admit though, that at this time away from the wall, I usually feel a little nervous that I'm going to fall. But I think I'm gaining confidence though. I am also still trying to figure out too how to put speed on my marches and and go faster and get distance on my skating. I did try bending my knees while marching. But, just ended up walking with my knees bent. Can anyone help? Thanks.
