How To Do A Forward Drag On Ice
If you are one of those to hit the local ice skating ring every weekend and want to improve your skating skills, then this video is perfectly suited to you. It gives tips and explains the method for doing forward drag on ice which will further hone your skating skills.
I am doing a fine trick now. It is called a forward drag. What you are going to do in this particular one, you personally make sure that you are warmed up and stretched beforehand.
We are going to go down quite low to the ice. You are going to drag your right foot behind you, making sure the blade is of the ice. So, it's boot as it drags.
So, on the full drag, it's important that we keep our foot on the ice not outplayed. We are going to go very low onto our left foot keeping the right leg extended behind us. As I mentioned before, dragging the right foot and not on the blade, good way to actually practice this is to start off in a T position.
And all you are going to do is to let the left foot move forward keeping your weight over that left foot. From there, you are going to go down as low as possible maintaining nice upper body posture. I will demonstrate again, keeping your arms out.
You are going to go right down, right leg extended behind you and then rise up. Keeping your shoulders, head and hips facing in front of you, feet, you are going to be in a T position. All you are going to do is go down low onto your left leg, dragging your right boot along the ice and then rising up.
Okay, when you are doing your drag on the ice, as I mentioned before, it's very very important to ensure that you are dragging on the ice, not the blade. Go down low, maintain your posture just as your weight is over that left foot, dragging the right boot behind you, not the blade. And that is how you do drag on ice. .
