Buddy you have no idea how helpful you are for those of us with kids who want to learn hockey. Growing up in the southern United States in the 70-80s we didn’t have an ice rink within 100miles. Your information has made this adventure much easier than I thought it would be. Thanks!

your tips are very helpful continue your videos you're great

The stability that comes from bending your knees is absolutely worth it too. I tell everyone that when I’m trying to teach them to skate. You will fall if you’re standing straight up. But bend those knees and you’ll be so much better off.

i play roller derby and something that you're taught from day one is to ALWAYS be in "derby position" (core strong, butt down and knees bent so the tips of your fingers can touch the bottoms of your knee pads). because of this you are not only able to take longer strides, but you are also significantly more sturdy. also, if you do happen to fall, you have a shorter distance to go down and are more likely to fall safer, more controlled and be able to get right back up.

Y are right 💯, but you must also have sharp skates. Radios is very important.

Remember the ankles too. If you bend your knees and not your ankles you constantly lose your balance😅😂

Another tip is bend the ankle. It was a game changer for me.

I remember using rental skates when I first started and thinking the pick is to get forward traction 😂

[GregGegax]

Key tip, if your TALL you need to hip HINGE first to get that deep long powerful stride

Any advice on getting my 5 year old hockey kid to skate with 2 legs? He plants 1 and only really skates with his left.
