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.” – Wichita
