РОЛЕРИ: Как да спрем с ролери? Ролери стопове - тренировки - уроци

Как да спрем с ролери?

Типът спиране с ролери до голяма степен зависи от скоростта. За начинаещите е достатъчно да завият с троп, троп, троп и са спряли. Но с увеличаване на скоростта трябва да започнете да учите различни видове спиране с ролери, както и слайдове.

Школата по ролери в Бургас тренираме всеки ден в Морската градина. Желаещите може да се запишат за месечни или индивидуални уроци по ролери. Но първо се обадете да си купите добри ролери за тренировки: тел. 0878197022

4. Начални стъпки в спирането с ролери

Но като начало трябва да започнете с т.н. "Рало". Разтварате краката и събирате коленете, като бутате на страни. Това трябва да ви спре. Но разбира се, това не е практично за големи скорости. Другия стоп, който ще видите в това видео е "Т-стопа".

Важни съвети за начинаещите ролеристи

1. Правете нещата с минимално усилие

2. Спазвайте правилото; Нос-колене-пръсти на една вертикална линия

3. Вместо да накланяте гърба прекалено напред, изправете го и приседнете в коленете



4. Не дръжте тежеста си между краката, а я прехвърляйте от крак на крак
5. Използвайте гравитацията, а не мускулите за да набирате скорост







6. Работи с бедрата. Движението от бедрата надолу те задвижва
7. Връщай петите на линията
8. Не е само въпрос на сила, а по-скоро на баланс и темпо

How to Skate Backwards in Hockey

How to Skate Backwards in Hockey

Every player, no matter what position he or she plays, needs to know how to skate backward.




How to Skate Backwards in Hockey

Backward Stride As in the forward stride, it is important to emphasize power, which is achieved by using your skate edges, leg muscles and body weight. Ready Position Stride Take your bottom hand off the stick. Your skates should be shoulder-width apart. Get in a sit position with your knees bent and chest up.

Backward Stride Start in ready position, head up, knees bent, and your back straight and shoulders erect. Skate with one hand on your stick. Keep the top hand on the end of the stick, with your elbow tucked inward. Start by pointing the heel of your front foot out to the side. Dig in and push off from the heel to the toe, making half circles (C-Cuts) on the surface. After reaching a full extension, bring your leg back under your hip and repeat with the other leg. Keep the knee of the glide leg bent while the other leg is striding. Maintain balance Ð you should be able to skate backward in a straight line from end to end. The keys to a good stride are power, length and recovery Ð players with poor strides don't often recover their stride, which causes poor balance. Finally, players must be able to stay low while skating backward. This will help maintain a long stride, which creates speed.

Common Errors Wiggling too much from the hips. This limits the thrust power of your legs. Bending forward too much at the waist. This throws your balance off, reduces your knee bend and limits your power and stride. Skates too far apart that limits the length of your stride, which effects the amount of power you can generate. C-Cuts C-Cuts are an important part of skating backward. It is how you generate speed, using your thrust leg to drive the skate into the ice to generate maximum power. The C-Cut is divided into four parts Ð pivot, push, re-pivot and return. Keep the entire blade of both skates on the ice.

On Ice Drills

Resistance Drill A good drill that forces a backward skater to practice the use of knee bend, inside edges and full recovery: Pair up, with each player holding one end of a stick with one hand. One player skates backward using C-Cut thrusts to pull the resisting skater across the ice. Be sure to aim the gliding skate straight backward while executing each C-Cut. The forward skater should do a two-foot snowplow to resist the movement. One-Leg C-Cuts Line up along the boards. Using only your right leg to execute a C-Cut, glide across the rink. Try to make it across in four or five C-Cuts. Return using only your left leg. Keep your glide skate pointing straight back for maximum distance and glide. One variation of this drill would be to alternate feet.

Off-ice Drills

Hip Or Leg Movement Run backward, keeping both feet as close to the ground as possible. Swing your hips in a backward swivel motion to simulate the hip movement used in skating backward. A take off on this drill is to bring each leg directly behind your body. This is another method of skating backward. Leg Extensions Standing in the ready position with your knees bent, thrust your right leg out in a backward C-Cut motion. Swing your leg out and around and back together with your other leg. Then switch to your left leg. This will allow you to simulate a backward stride on the ice. One-on-one Drill One player moves forward, attempting to get by the second player, who is moving straight backward. The object is for the defender to skate straight backward (no crossovers) and not allow the forward to catch and pass him or her. This is a good drill for both ice or inline players

Forward Stride Video Analysis

Forward Stride Power Skating

Spring Power skating is ideal for hockey players wanting improve their skating skills. Learn how to do the forward stride of hockey powerskating in this easy to follow, step by step instructional video.



During the follow-through of the forward stride, no matter who is skating, there is a point when only 1 skate is on the ice. Thats just how the stride is done, so your BALANCE uneffected by returning your skates together and your STABILITY is no different from that of a stride without a full return (or wide return). This stride lets you gain the benefit of a longer, more efficient stride with the same stability and balance of any skater..

In the situations you mention, like battling for a puck or powering around a D, the player is much better off doing forward c-cuts (a push where both skates are always on the ice and you push off your heel only).

Power and Speed Skating Expertise

Powerskating is what you should be looking at in playing hockey - different muscle groups are used for speed skating and power skating.

This first video is half theory, so you understand the main points. The other half gives great analyzes on the actual technique of a scatter.



Teams have powerskating coaches, and there are several independent powerskating coaches, the most notable being Laura Stamm. She was the first NHL endorsed powerskating coach back in the 1970s and the teams were sent to see her every summer.

Speed Skating
To some extent but they do speed skating over distances rather than for actual speed (except the sprints) which means the stride is different. Powerskating, on the other side concentrates on hockey skating skills like turns and skating backwards as well as stops and starts.

Speed-skating exercises (on hockey skates even), that will help you with your hockey speed because it trains and targets certain muscles in your legs. This second video shows a wonderful training, expertise, advice and steps of practicing for speed skating.



Hockey players must be good at basic skating skills. Good skating makes better players.

Stops in Ice Skating: Begginer exerceses and types

How to do a T-Stop on Ice Skates

A T-stop is an ice skating stop where the feet make a "T" on the ice. The skater should place the middle of one skate behind the heel of the other skate. The foot that is behind does the stopping and scrapes the ice as the blade is pushed to the back outside edge while the forward skate glides. The stop is completed when the skater comes to a complete stop with his or her feet in a "T" position.

Examples: It is very difficult to do a good t-stop. Beginning skaters tend to drag the foot behind on an inside edge (which is incorrect) when first trying the t-stop. The back blade must be on an outside edge for the t-stop to be done correctly.



You can learn how to make the ice hockey side stop. Side stops is a side motion stop; not a snowplow stop. You need a strong knee bend to generate that scraping, stopping motion

How to Learn Crossovers on Ice Skates

How to do a Forward Crossover

The skating school teaches elements in a certain order because they're like a staircase: you don't jump to the top of a staircase, you climb one step at a time.

Don't jump ahead to crossovers because you will develop some bad habits that will stop you from learning the higher-level stuff.

Forward crossovers are in Basic 4. You should be working on things in Basic 1 or 2 right now. That will help you move up to Basic 2, and then you can work on Basic 2 and 3 elements. See the progression? It will make your lesson time more productive and really refine your skating skills needed so that learning an advanced skill at the proper time will be much easier.

Forward crossovers are a great example - many skaters can do a one-foot glide on a flat - meaning, no edges. That's nice, but to do forward crossovers, they first have to master proper stroking, have excellent balance, hold their shoulders and hips correctly, and be able to hoooold the one-foot edges on a curve.


Work on these things before Basic 4 and forward crossovers:

. One foot glides
. Stroking with proper pushoffs (inside edge of blade, not the toepick)
. Forward 1/2 swizzle pumps - on the line or on a circle
. Forward one-foot glides, curving with a circle on both the outside and inside edges of each foot.

The skaters that haven't mastered those skills stand out at the rink when they do crossovers because they can't get their free foot all the way across, they move in a straight line instead of a curve, they trip or drop their foot down due to poor balance, and they basically look like horses stomping around. Not what you want to look like at the rink.

You don't want to fake these elements - you should be able to master them and look like a skater, not a horse. Don't rush trying to teach yourself - just practice the things you've learned and you'll be a wonderful skater, not a faker.

It's really important to make the most of your lesson and practice time by building these "foundation" elements before you learn the higher-level things, so take your time.

Forward Crossovers - Video lesson Instructions

Forward Crossovers: Video lesson Instructions
Forward Crossovers Video mini lesson by Instructor Team Leader Alan Noble.

A video mini lesson showing the technique of the forward crossover. An important note on technique: a good way to test your technique on forward crossovers is to skate a circle slowly while listening to your pushes. The more powerful the push, the louder the push will sound, so naturally practice this until both pushes sound exactly the same in terms of loudness and duration of the push. When done correctly the stride push and the x-push generate exactly the same power.



The first thing of importance are the edges. To have strong edges, is to make sure they are under 45 degrees angle to the ice.

The second X-push is more difficult, because it is often not practiced enough. It is unnatural.

In order order to have a good balance, you have to lean your upper body out of the circle. A lot of people believe, if you lean you entire body in you'll have stronger edges, but as we mentioned earlier, strong edges are from your ankles, leaning those ankles on a 45 degree angle.

To get balance you have to counter-lean and lean your upper body out. The lower body is already in, now you have to balance this out. And the way to do this is by kipping your shoulders leveled to the ice. Lift your inside shoulder up. If you're doing good job, then you inside shoulder will be slightly higher then the outside shoulder.

Forward and Backward C-Cuts for Beginners

How to perform properly forward C-cuts for beginners

C-cuts: Pushing with your weight on your heels and your skate makes the shape of a 'C'.

Teaching a c-cut, which procedure works best with students?

Have the student assume their stance and pump both feet outward and bring them back in. Do it several times in a row so that they can get the feeling of catching the ice with their heel. Then have them do it in one place where they go forward and then back, forward and then back etc. Finally tell them to cut it in half and only do it with one leg.

The forward c-cut doesn't always make sense to a beginner because your stride comes forward yet you move forward. Its counter-intuitive. But when you do it with both legs at the beginning of the drill they are forced into catching the ice with their heel and they will know what it should feel like.



What Is The "C - Cut Push" And How - Laura Stamm Power Skating

When I first started teaching power skating in 1971 I needed to find a name for a certain push that is used or incorporated into many hockey maneuvers. Because I believe in using visualization techniques to enhance learning I finally came up with the name "C - cut" to describe this push.

As far as I know, this term was not previously used or even defined. In my first book (1977) I devoted an entire chapter to C - cuts. Amazingly the term "stuck". Today it is commonly used in the hockey world. I often hear coaches telling their players, "C - cut, C - cut," during backward skating moves.

The C - cut maneuver is done with both skates on the ice. The C - cut push is usually executed by pushing the outside skate (and leg) against the inside edge of the blade while gliding on the inside skate.

The Forward C - Cut:

When skating forward the C - cut push cuts an upside down letter "C" into the ice. The following explanation uses the left leg for power (pushing leg) and the right leg for direction (gliding leg).

Start by pivoting the pushing (left) skate at a right angle to the gliding (right) skate that is pointed forward along the direction of travel. The skates are now in a reverse "L" position. Push the left skate and leg first to the back, then out to the side, then forward. To complete the push you must then recover the skate and leg inward to the mid-line of the body. During the entire maneuver the gliding skate travels forward in a straight line.

The pattern that the push cuts into the ice resembles the letter C. When pushing with the right skate and leg the push resembles an upside down and reverse letter C.

The forward C - cut push is important when doing tight turns. It is the first push of the tight turn; it is used when entering the turn. It is also used with great success in a maneuver I call "bulling" or "protecting the puck" to power around a defender who is trying to take the puck or to take you out of the play. The advantage of using C - cuts in this situations is that both feet are always on the ice, allowing the player to maintain balance while at the same time being able to push powerfully.

Goalies use forward C - cut pushes when moving a short distance out of the net and backward C - cut pushes to quickly back up into the net.
[Backward C-cut push: Right Leg Driving Leg. Skater Alan Noble. Action Shots Photography]

The Backward C - Cut:

When skating backward the C - cut push cuts the letter "C" into the ice. The following explanation uses the left leg for power (pushing leg) and the right leg for direction (gliding leg).

Start by pivoting the pushing (left) skate at a right angle to the gliding (right) skate which is pointed straight backward along the direction of travel. The skates are now in a reverse and upside down "L" position. Push the left skate and leg first to the front, then out to the side, then back. To complete the push you must recover the skate and leg inward to the midline of the body. During the entire maneuver the gliding skate travels backward in a straight line.

When skating straight backward the C - cut push IS the push of the backward stride. It also is the very important first push of backward crossovers and backward crossover starts.

Backward C-Cuts (Video Clip)



All hockey players need to be comfortable skating backward as well as forward. When you can skate backward with speed and mobility you can be counted on during power plays and in short handed situations. Think of how much more ice time you'll get. Think of how valuable you'll become to your team!

SPEED is the name of the game. The C - cut push is one of the important components of speed.
