Purpose: This demonstration shows how the upper body and lower body work together to get a good check in the s-step. Skaters should allow their inside edge to come far enough back to the blue line before stepping on their back outside edge. Pause the video around 0:13 seconds to check and compare...

Purpose: Skaters can practice their skating skills, such as their S step, off the ice to get used to body lean and foot placement on both the backward outside entry and the forward inside exit edge

Focus: Basic technique, body lean, foot placement, upper body position
