What are some of the prerequisite skate skills needed to safely start learning how to wizard skate?
from SkatefreshAsha on 1 Jun 2023

In this video I show you 2 of the forward J-Turns (forward outside and forward inside). These J-Turns then progress into turn-spirals which become the entry curves into the 2 footed forward Gazelles.Most skaters have a preferred turning direction and a preferred leg when it comes to weight bearing, so these 4 prerequisite turns will test your weaker turning direction and weaker leg. You might also discover that you aren’t as fluent as you thought, or that you aren’t as versatile as you’d like to be. These “easy looking” skills and drills can really help to fill in the gaps in your skating repertoire and allow you to more easily learn more difficult moves like Gazelles.It’s very common for skaters to “run before they can walk” and attempt skills like Gazelles before they have the basic entry and exit curves fluently mastered (or at least in their regular practice routine).The Skatefresh Online Wizard Skating course devotes Part 1 to these and other prerequisite skills (11 in total) so that you then don’t get stuck when the wizard skating gets more complicated. This is the secret to learning more advanced manoeuvres; making sure you can do all the constituent parts BEFORE jumping ahead.Check out the Wizard Skating online course here and watch students in their Wizard skating process (plus a full Trailer video from the course).https://skatefresh.com/learn-wizard-skating-online/Who is Asha Skatefresh?

What’s the best stopping method for going down hills & slopes to control your speed & stop?
from SkatefreshAsha on 17 Apr 2023

Every skater who is skating outdoors needs to be very clear about which stopping methods they are learning and how good those methods are (on the flat). Only when a stopping method stops you from your medium-high speeds should you then try to descend some gentle slopes. Always begin slopes from the bottom and work up gradually over many descents, first just controlling your speed (so you do not accelerate) and later actually coming to a stop on the slope (to really test yourself). When you have that on a gentle slope then repeat the process on a slightly steeper slope, but be VERY careful which slopes you choose as you need to gradually go for steeper or longer hills and not to make things too difficult too quickly. Slopes are something you should treat with HUGE respect and continue to train on them regularly as your methods evolve and you improve, so your stops & slopes practice should develop to include more methods & combos and higher speeds.Need help with your stopping methods?

Please share this in your European groups if you think anyone might be interested. Thank you.Check out ALL the Belgium workshop details and discounts here;https://skatefresh.com/belgium/There are no more spaces left on Backwards & Transitions but still places on the other 5;Stops & Slides 1Stops & Slides 2Downhill SlopesFitness & StrideWizard SkatingI had the pleasure of attending Asha’s skating workshops in Melbourne and her way of teaching “the Skatefresh method” is unlike anything else. Even seasoned skaters at the workshops have gained new knowledge and I’ve unlocked stopping methods that were previously alien to me! Totally worth every minute and the skills gained will be invaluable for years to come. – Zeno Kobica – Google ReviewThe Tax covered venue in Roeselare, was an old train shed and with its polished concrete floor it’s the ideal setting for 2 days of classes & fun. Lunches organised at the venue, close skate to town, optional street skate on Friday 21st around the town and surrounding areas with Steven our host from @iskate.beI stay at the Park Hotel. Very nice and fabulous breakfast! 3 mins skate to the venue.Hope you can find a way to join me and pick off your 2023 season with a bang! This will set you up for the whole summer season with the right exercise progressions to practice to gain all the skills on your wish list.Do yourself a favour and book classes with Asha. You will not regret it! It was the best money I’ve spent on skating lessons. I’ve gone to so many classes over the years but I learned more with Asha in two hours than years of weekly lessons. Asha really wants us to skate our absolute best! She will provide all her knowledge and expertise to teach you the correct way of skating. If I lived in the UK or Europe I’d definitely invest in lessons with Asha.Elaine OBrien, Melbourne Australia – Google Review

Asha’s Australia Tour 2023 – Highlights video from Sydney, Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne & Brisbane
from SkatefreshAsha on 31 Mar 2023

It’s really hard to get 5 weeks of non-stop skating into 7 minutes of highlight video….. but this was my attempt.Every Powerslide, Stepping Plough, Soul slide, Magic slide, Stride Training Sequence, non V-ing stride, Crossover and safely landed jump is a win for my students. To gain new skills within a 2 hour workshop is a huge success for them and one I celebrate every time. The feelings of joy and satisfaction from learning something new are so sweet and I feel it with them.Thank you to my hosts in each city for welcoming into your homes and making my entire trip a personal and enriching experience. We’ve all become friends who I’ll cherish forever. Thank you for everything you did for me and for your local skate scenes;David Thomas in PerthMichael & Jill Barden in AdelaideZeno, Natalia & Luke Kobica in MelbourneMaria & Lotus and Colin & Wendy in BrisbaneIf you attended a class or trip with me in Australia, what’s the most useful thing you gained from the “Skatefresh Method”?There’s too many people in this video to tag so my apologies that I didn’t but feel free to tag yourself and friends.Would you like me to return to Australia in 2024?
