I love deep edges cos it looks beautiful. However, will there be another video about safety precautions, if any, in doing deep edges? It feels like potentially something learners had better beware in advance, doesn't it?
I agree you should take care when going for deep edges. I also think our instinct with gravity will tell us when we’re close the line we don’t want to cross. I’ve certainly been there a few times 😂
Thank you for these helpful tips, as always! In a future video, could you perhaps explain a bit regarding the different options for sharpening & which ROH would be ideal for general levels of skating? I currently have a 1/2 inch hollow, & am working on silver skills in the US adult test track; wondering when or if I need to change my sharpening. Thanks ⛸️
I think the most important thing to remember is that Skate Sharpening is really personal to each individual skater and the type of Ice that they typically skate on will also affect their preference of Sharpen. my best advice is to try hollow that is deeper and see how you get on because you won’t truly know if it is something that works for you until you try it. You can always go back 👍🏼
1/2” is standard for beginners 7/16” is standard for jumps and spins 3/8” is a higher level of grip for super deep edges at speed (high level) but only for preference. I am a high level skater and coach about 30 hours on ice a week and I still have 7/16” 👍🏼
Very, very fine tutorial. So bad my rink is closed but work continues in August or September :)
Counting down the days… do you do off ice in the off season?
@@iskatecoach , oh yes, all kind of different exercises like this ua-cam.com/video/MnRAAqCWRmg/v-deo.htmlsi=F6F5axB1RJg-FCi3. Hope you can see it.

please make a video on loops, maybe there are some prelinminary exercises
Watch this space!
Great idea. I second that.
These exercises are great! That spiraling edge exercise, I got a two-foot version from my current coach, and I'll try the one foot version next time.
Thank you hope it helps you 🥳
Awesome tutorial! Thank you 😊 I’m excited to try these exercises and advice
Hope it helps you get deeper on those edges!
One word: INSANE.

How would you recommend doing a run up for backwards edge spiraling edges?
Back crossovers or half lemons, I’d also start by having your free leg next to your skating foot 👍🏼

Thank you! I may try 7/16" & see how it is. Really appreciate the input ✌️
@@iskatecoachHumongously helpful.
Skates need to be proper sharp as well tho
Yeh 💯 I’m not leaning into any deep edges on blunt skates 😂
This was so helpful! Time to get practicing. Love your videos as always!
Thank you 🤩
Excellent exercises as usual! Thank you! I'll work on these tomorrow!
Thank you 🤩
