Including Skating Tutorial - Stride 1

Hi, I’m Krista with Skater’s Quest, I’m here to introduce you to the basics of inline skating. Orimba and I will be showing you Stride 1.
Stride 1 is your basic forward stride, we’re focusing on 3 key steps; Stroke, Regroup and Glide. First, we’re going to go through some static exercises specifically focusing on the Stroke, what Orimba is going to do first is stand on a V-stand and apply pressure to her skate so that she can apply that friction onto the pavement. So what she’s going to do is on that V-stand is march up and down to apply pressure to each of the skates that are on the ground. Next we’re going to establish a support leg and an action leg, so Orimba is going to apply pressure on her left skate, and that’s going to be her support and she’s going to do the action with her right, using the inside edge of the action skate. Next she’s going to Regroup back in that ray position, where, as we’re moving we’ll be gliding and now she’ll be stroking with the next skate, establish that support leg with the right, stroking with the left, Regrouping and Glide. Then you continue to alternate, stroke, regroup, glide, and that will be your Stride 1.
