It's one of the best ways to teach people brand new to skating how to get control of their feet/skates. It's also a good thigh workout if you really push hard and squat low.<br /><br />Scissors are the same thing as figure eights except when you bring your feet together you cross them (making sure to alternate which leg crosses over and which crosses under). It's a good way to warm up the legs for crossovers, and also a good way to start new skaters learning how to do crossovers.<br /><br />Windmills are when you roll your arms around while you skate. It's a form of stretching the arms, but can also throw a skater off balance if s/he doesn't keep a tight core. Some skaters like to challenge themselves by moving their torsos up and down while they do the windmill.Estrogeena Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15495501517394140506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2404483999692652855.post-20270986968646408792011-10-12T17:45:31.336-04:002011-10-12T17:45:31.336-04:00Can you explain what each of these skills are?

Its hard to push someone that is not willing to push themselves!!Damn Yankeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02781416740188629313noreply@blogger.com
