SkatefreshAshaWhat 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?
