Get your difficult steps called - Use these exercises! Rocker, bracket, counter, Choctaw, Mohawks

Paul, this is FANTASTIC! Thank you so much...!!! Love the way you set this up on an old school figures design. I am 60 years old and come from old school figures, which I really sucked at, but believe is an excellent solid base for your skating career. Bless you for showing us this - it is excellent for your footwork!

Amazing thank you, yes I am a firm believer that circles are the best way to feel these turns correctly

[@Happycrystalmuffin]

Absolutely adore this video. I credit this video with getting my counters and back outside Choctaws. That back Choctaw drill is one of my favorite drills of all time! I would love a 2-4 minute video that does figure 8 drills for backward rockers and counters and the quickstep Choctaw.

Think I can do that for you 👍🏼 I have a difficult turn course in the works… hopefully due early next year 👍🏼

I think I tripped and fell 9 times just watching this video. This video is great. My rockers and counters aren't.

What does it mean to have a turn "called?"

[@iskatecoach]

In the IJS ( international judging system) steps and turns performed correctly are confirmed by the technical panel. Part of the judging panel. That process is known as calling.
