Skate a full lap of the rink without touching the rail
“The first push off the barrier, nothing to grab and both feet sliding, is the moment you understand why beginners cling to it. Once you have gone all the way round without reaching for it, the ice stops feeling like a trap.”
The Recipe
- Go to the nearest ice rink during a public session and rent skates at the desk.
- Do one lap holding the rail to find your feet, then let go and get moving out in the open ice.
- Skate a complete lap of the rink without touching the barrier once, even if you fall doing it.
