Adjusting The Size; Adjusting The Width; Putting On And Taking Off - Crivit KI-1676 Bedienungsanleitung

starting position:
Place feet shoulder-width apart and slightly bend
your knees to keep from falling backwards. Do
not look down at your feet, but keep your eyes in
the direction in which you are skating.
speeding up:
As a beginner, start with small steps with your
toes pointed out and at an angle.
Gliding:
Once you have taken a couple of consecutive
steps, you will then have enough momentum to
place both skates next to each other and glide.
When doing so, bend your knees slightly.
Mastering curves
at a slow speed:
Shift your weight like when riding a bike. For a
left curve, place your weight on your left foot
and on your right foot for a right curve.
at a fast speed:
Use crossovers (Fig. A)
Falling techniques
First practise falling onto the protective equip-
ment without ice skates on a soft mat or surface.
Always try to fall forwards, never backwards!
Allow yourself to fall onto your kneepads. Then
break your fall using your elbow and wrist pro-
tectors. At the same time, spread out your fingers
to prevent injuries.
stopping techniques
t-stop (Fig. B)
When using the "T-stop technique" you will shift
your entire weight onto one foot. Now move the
other foot behind the first one, so that they form
a right angle. Then shift your weight from the
front to the inside edge of the blade of your rear
skate and stop by increasing pressure.
Plough stop (Fig. c)
Push your toes together and form a V-shape
with your blades (heels pointing outwards), put
pressure on the balls of your feet and stop using
both legs.
