I love to Ice Skate. Could you give me some tips on Ice Skating please?

Question

I'm pretty good at it, but I could use a bit more practice with speed and all.

Answer 1

Hey

To get more speed you could bend your knees more and never lean backwards! hope this helped :] xx

Answer 2

Bend your knees and learn how to stroke with the outside of your blade while standing on one foot, then switch and stroke with the other foot. If you would like to learn more advanced skating I would suggest taking group lessons at your local rink. Good luck!

Answer 3

Yeah, i would suggest doing what all those other people have said /\ up there :D

and if you have any friends that play hocky or figure skate you should ask for them to teach you some stuff.

if your really interested in the sport you should try out some lessons, maybe with a friend ;D

Answer 4

Bend your knees, don't push with your toepicks - push with the insides of your blades.  

What really makes a difference is to get out on the ice as much as possible.  After a while, you'll find that you're probably faster going backwards!

Answer 5

take up some lessons group for now private when you get a little more serious b/c that can get a little expensive. B ut for speed like they said bend ur knees inside edge etc. keep good posture back straight arms out! good luck!

Answer 6

First bend you knees, It really helps with power. Use your inside edge to push off with. Kepp your arms out for balance and don't be afraid to go for it. Just keep practicing and you'll get better in no time.
