Great for
Training:
Super-Glide™ increases speed and endurance, with
slightly more resistance than ice, the skater
presses harder and becomes stronger. When
returning to ice the skater presses the same
amount and goes faster. Super-Glide™ is great
for developing the students jumps and spins!
From the Waltz Jump to the Triple Axel, all
figure skating elements can be achieved.
- Edge
jumps - The skater presses harder into the
jump on Super-Glide™, when returning to ice,
the skater is now really pressing into the
jump, increasing the height.
- Toe
jumps- Teaches the student to place the toe
pick for the most efficient take-off.
- Spins -
Concentrating on the positions and using
more strength, the students spins increase
in speed and control.
Initially some
skaters may feel uncomfortable spinning on the
Super-Glide surface. It challenges the skater to
refine their spin and work on the small flaws in
their technique. After just a few weeks of
practice on Super-Glide the skater has more
knowledge and ability for spins. In the end it
teaches the skater to do spins and jumps
perfectly whether on Super-Glide or real ice.
The increased
practice time available with a home rink shows
its results within days. Students that were once
the slowest are soon among the fastest. We have
seen these results time and time again.
You can practice
during the times you would be normally driving
to the ice rink. You become a better skater and
save time, money, and gas.
“The kids loved skating
outdoors, within ˝ an hour they were doing
Axels, Double Flips, we couldn't get them off.
Super-Glide™ is Amazing.” –
