Ice Skating Basics by Aaron Foeste

Paperback, 1998, 96pages, ex-lib in good condition

You don't have to be Jayne Torvill or Christopher Dean to enjoy taking a spin around the local ice rink! Whether you want to learn or teach another, master a couple of twirls, play some ice hockey or just skate recreationally, here are all the basics, complete with lots of full colour photographs showing every detail of blades, boots, glides, turns and bends. Learn the difference between figure skates and hockey skates, how to ensure a proper fit, what clothing to wear and the essentials of skin care. Learn how to adjust as you step onto the ice for the first time and take those inevitable falls, which everyone suffers. Find ways of training even for the smallest youngster, and increasing the fun. Tips for more advanced skaters (even adult beginners), choosing private lessons, and more.
