6 Inline Skating Drills To Get Better

This episode of Skate Tips dives into Edge Control. I introduce 6 drills that are excellent for taking your skating to the next level.

CORRECTION: "ouside edge" was supposed to be "outside edge", a mistake that will live on the internet forever now :)
0:00 Introduction
0:53 2 Foot Edge Flip (2 sets of 10 reps)
1:49 Single Foot Edge Flip (2 sets of 6 reps)
3:07 Edge Flip Hold (2 sets of 4 reps)
4:50 Double Double (3 sets of 10 reps)
6:38 Single Double w/ Training Wheels (2 sets of 10 reps)
9:41 Single Double (2 sets of 8 reps)
13:00 Urban Slow Motion Examples
The first 3 drills can be done on inline or ice skates and should be incorporated into your warm-up every time you skate. They're meant to strengthen the ankle support specifically by growing the muscles in the foot and lower leg and are great for teaching you how to control your skates better and can be very effective for helping you overcome a loose or floppy boot.

The last 3 drills are Double Push exercises that really only work on wheels because of the aggressive nature of how you whip the skate doesn't work so well with a blade that's in the surface vs wheels that are on top of the surface, not to mention you can't really have a training wheel down on the ice. These incorporate more of your entire body, forcing you get stronger in key areas that important for good efficient skating and should be done no more than 3 times per week, ideally you do them twice weekly
