What are the skills of skating?

When standing, your feet are slightly apart about shoulder width, your toes are slightly turned outwards to form a small figure-eight, your legs are slightly bent, your upper body leans forward slightly and looks forward. The center of gravity of the body should be pressed smoothly to the blade with two feet, and the ankle joint should not droop inward or outward.

When sliding, lean forward, bend your legs and move your center of gravity forward, so that even if you slip, you won't fall forward and your coccyx won't break. The most common problem for novices is that they don't stand upright when sliding, which leads to unstable center of gravity and falls. If this happens, please side the ground with your hands to reduce the impact force. At the same time, avoid your head hitting the ice.

Kneel on the ice immediately after falling down and get up slowly. If you can't get up in time, you should have peer protection. At the same time, you should monitor the movements of people around you to prevent others from hitting and causing accidental injuries. Never lie or sit on the ice for a long time, because the skates may stab the trunk and head when others slide, causing injuries.

Choose a safe place to skate, skate in lakes, rivers and ponds that naturally freeze, and choose a frozen and solid ice surface without ice holes and cracks, as close as possible to the shore. In early winter and early spring, the ice has not frozen or has begun to melt, so don't go skating to avoid breaking the ice and causing accidents.

Beginners should not be reckless, but should learn step by step, especially pay attention to maintaining the balance of the body's center of gravity to avoid falling backwards and breaking the lumbar spine and the back of the head. When there are many skaters, pay attention to avoid collision.

Don't skate for too long, activities in cold environment will lose a lot of heat. When resting, you should put on a cold-proof coat, untie the shoelaces of skates, and move your feet to make blood circulate to prevent frostbite.
