Skating rinks are available to all

With the arrival of winter and snow, we remember winter sports. Active people who prefer outdoor recreation, but not at home, you can do walking on skis and learn the technique of skating. This requires a special route and appropriate equipment: boots, skating for skating, fastening, ski poles. But the first thing you need is, of course, your desire and desire to learn.

If possible, it is better to enroll in the ski section, where they will provide everything necessary and a professional trainer will teach you how to ride using a skating course. To begin with, so that you are sure that you will succeed, you can take skating for skating at the box office. This is a good opportunity to solve the problem of unnecessary costs, because in the event of failure of your attempts, disappointment and regret about the spent funds for equipment will not come. If you are determined to learn how to ski and master this technique of riding, the first thing you need to do is go to the store and buy skis for the ridge run.

To do this, you can seek help from a professional consultant in the store or, knowing all the nuances, choose the skis yourself. There are two types of skis: classic and skate. And to distinguish them, you need to know their differences. Visually, skating for a ridge stroke is characterized by a rounded toe and the presence of a ridge on the side surface. On the edges there should be no roughness and roughness (especially pay attention if the skis are not new, and you take them at the box office). And also skating skis are tougher than classic ones.

Skiing should be chosen slowly and approach this issue with all responsibility, because this will determine your health, safety when walking on them and positive emotions. So, how to choose a skating ridge? A simple way will help you, which you can easily do yourself. To do this, you must put the skis on a flat, stable, hard surface and stand on them, equally distributing your weight. The skis should be quite stiff - even with a shake simulation, a very decent clearance should be maintained. Their length should be about 10-15 cm more than the height of the skier himself.

In addition, you need to select suitable sticks. They are selected depending on the growth, while it is better to give preference to those that have attachments with special adjustment on the wrist.

Beginners need to know that such skis are usually slippery. Therefore, to begin with, you need to choose a route with a small slope. The technique of the skating course on skis can be different, there are several options: a semi-skating course, a simultaneous two-stroke course and a ridge move without repulsion (that is, without sticks). An important point is that the weight of the skier on the supporting leg and at each step moves from one leg to the other. The leg that makes the push is bent, and after the push is straightened. You can not drive with a straight body and constantly bent legs. Having mastered the technique of skating, you do not want to go back to classical skating, having fallen in love with this sport forever.
