Indoor turns!
Some skaters gain speed on straight aways.
But most get thiers on the turns.
To get maximum speed...
Try bending your knees. and extending as you swing your outside leg.
Now bring your outside leg across and push it infront of your insode leg. Do this 3 times.
Once at the first cone.
Twice at the second cone.
And finally as you enter the straight away.

Tip of the Day!!! #1
Im proud to present the very first tip of the day!!
One of the biggest problems I see in young skaters and sometimes older skaters is that they are wearing the wrong size skate. This is a common problem. It can cause serious injury. To your ankle. But its easy to fix.
First try molding the boot...most (newer) boots are heat moldable. To make a better fit. Check and see if yours is.
If thats not the problem. Then simply measure your foot. Place your foot on a sheet of blank white paper. Such as computer paper. Back your foot and the paper long ways against a wall of flat surface. then take a pencil and mark the longest part of your foot. Measure the millimeters. Then look at a sizing chart for the boot you want. The different brands all fit different. So find your fit!! And go have fun!!!
