SUNDAY, JULY 23, 2006 HEEL-TOE TRICK FOR ROLLERBLADING FANATICS! This another great article I found on a neat little trick for beginner skaters. Of course, you have to be sufficiently proficient in skating before attempting this. Just be sure to wear the necessary safety equipment before trying any stunts, even if you are a pro. The article can be found at the link below. http://www.londonskaters.com/how_to_heel_toe.htmHOW TO HEEL-TOE
This is skating on the back wheel of one skate, and the toe wheel of another. This trick is actually really easy, and just about any skater that has been skating for a couple of months should be capable of learning this in just a few short sessions. PREREQUISITE SKILLS: * Ability to scissor your skates * Confident at doing parallel turns * Basic to intermediate ankle strength and control STEP 1 - FRONT HEEL WHEEL ONLY: * Learn to skate on the heel wheel of one skate. Do this stage slowly until you have plenty of confidence, as your skates become really twitchy and hard to control on one wheel, when compared with the stability found from having all wheels in contact with the skatingsurface.
* Start with your weight equally distributed on both feet, with your feet scissored. Make sure that if you have a heel brake, that your heel brake is the rear-most foot. Trying to skate on the back wheel of your heel brake skate will result in you coming to a grinding halt and/or falling over. :) Thus you would normally have your left foot forward, as most people have their heel brake on their right foot. With both knees bent, straighten your front leg so that it is nearly straight. This will force the toes of your skate up, and leave the forward skate running along on the heel wheel only. * Remember to leave the other skate flat on the surface, as it is much easier to learn this trick one leg at a time. STEP 2 - REAR TOE WHEEL ONLY: Learn to skate on the toe wheel of your rear skate. Do this stage slowly until you gain confidence! * Again, start with your legs scissored, and with roughly equal weight distribution on both feet. * Bend the knee of your rear-most leg, pushing the foot backwards at the same time, so forcing your skate to go onto the toe-wheel. Be sure to do this slowly the first few times, as it is easy to loose control. It's probably a little bit harder to control your skate on the toe-wheel than on the heel wheel as in step 1 above. * You'll need to bend your knee a lot, probably at least 90 degrees in order to be able to get the right amount of heel lift, and enough weight onto the rear leg. Try pointing your toes like a ballerina, and try getting the knee of the rear-most leg about half way down the calf of your front leg, and that should give you enough knee bend and weight on the toe wheel. * If you find the toe-wheel skate wobbling around, this is most likely because you haven't got enough weight on that leg. The easiest solution is to place as much weight as possible on this leg.STEP 3 - TOGETHER:
Combine the two moves. * Once you can easily do both step 1 and 2, and change between each relatively quickly, you're ready to try doing both at the same time. * Do a step 2 first, going onto the toe-wheel of your rear-most skate. This is the harder move, and going onto the heel-wheel of your front skate is easier and thus less likely to de-stabilize you. * Now push the front skate forward by straightening that leg. You should now be doing a heel-toe skate, and with a little practice you will probably be able to do some slalom quite quickly. That was relatively easy, right?DISCLAIMER
As always, skating is a dangerous sport, and you assume all risk when taking part. It is very likely that you will fall while skating, and no responsibility can be taken by either myself or LondonSkaters.com for any injuries you get. After all, it is your choice to learn this move, and if you don't want to assume any risks, then don't try tolearn it. :)

IS SKATING UP HILL KILLING YOU? Now, this is a great article I found on http://www.londonskaters.com/how-to-skate-up-hills.htm It gives you the techniques for skating uphill. I know how it is to skate uphill. Really drains the hell out of me but nevertheless, it isgreat workout.
Read through the article and ease your suffering the next time you attempt something like this. The article is taken from the site below. http://www.londonskaters.com/how-to-skate-up-hills.htm HOW TO SKATE UP HILLS Skating up hills is always hard work and you're going to go more slowly than on the flat, no matter if you're Eddy Matzger or an ordinary recreational skater. There are a few tips that can make it easier for you to deal with the problem. Part of the issue is technical, and part is fitness. Here are my tips:DROP A GEAR
Turn your toes out more and try to make a herring-bone pattern with your skates. This equates to dropping a gear and will make it easierto go uphill.
MORE KNEE BEND
More knee bend will help your balance and will enable more power to be put to the pavement, exactly what's required for skating uphill. SHORTER STRIDES AND HIGHER CADENCE Again this works together with turning your toes out and makes it easier to go uphill. Lots of small but powerful pushes means more power pulses per second, and that helps to get you up there.USE ARM SWING
Swing your arms to help up your power output. Just be aware that this will most likely redline your heart and without training you may not be able to sustain arm swing for long. How do you swing your arms? Funnily enough it's much like walking, except for the sideways push that skating has. Think of an apple tree in front of you, pluck imaginary apples and throw them horizontally behind you. OTHER TECHNIQUE TIPS If you need good technique skating on the flat, you need it twice as much when going uphill. Make sure that you put your hips into every stride at the new high cadence, and make sure your feet always come back to your centreline. You'll also glide less and you won't have as much of a forward push going uphill.FITNESS
Not only do you need to practice the different skating technique involved, but you need to get fit at skating uphill. Common training is to do repeated uphill sprints to improve fitness and power. It's not the same as skating on the flat, you can train to skate fast on the flats for ages, but to do well at hills you actually have to trainon them.
Those skaters at the London Inline Marathon who trained on hills noticed a huge difference over the few who either didn't or didn't do enoughhill training.
HOW TO ATTACK A HILL Keep your speed up as you approach the bottom of the hill using big powerful gorilla sized strides if you can. As you hit the slope, drop a gear and up your cadence a whole bunch, how much depends on how steep the hill is. You can really see Eddy Matzger do this in this footage of the Montreal Marathon,
although he's using it to put the hurt on the other skater, which he does very successfully. Now try to keep a pace you can maintain for the entire hill, you still want some go juice left in the tank when you get to the transition at the top of the hill. As you get to the transition on the top of the hill, change back to bigger and more powerful strides as you accelerate over the top. There's little that's more demoralising than seeing a skater you barely stayed with up the hill then power away from you at the top! WHAT ABOUT REALLY STEEP HILLS? If there's enough room, you can tack back and forth across the hill. While this makes the distance up the hill much longer, more importantly it reduces the apparent slope. It's good to crossoverdoing this.
AND BACK DOWN AGAIN? Well, make sure you can skate in control and are able to stop if you're going to go down again. Always treat downhills with great respect, so if in doubt, don't skate, take your skates off and walkdown.
I see many beginner skaters attempt hills which they have no chance of being able to skate down safely, and it's much harder going down than it is up. Unfortunately this means many skaters can skate up a hill that they have no business trying to go down. Learn to stop first - here's an online tutorial!
