There are many means of switching directions when ice skating.
Some have names and technical descriptions, some are variations without definitions of “difficulty” and are more aesthetic and just plain fun!
Todays video explores a number of different means of turning between forwards and backwards and vice versa.
Try the turns and combinations you feel comfortable and ready to experiment with.
Ask us about any that you haven’t met before and want to know more!

You speak so eloquently Marika, I wish you'd get a call asking you to do Commentary on elite Skating. We still have World Synchro Senior & Junior Worlds left to go this season. I live in hope with fingers crossed! 💖🌟🎤

Love these turns and your ease of demonstrating, but, if I know myself, the dreaded click of blades would be common!😆😫😩

Would you be able to do a tutorial on some different transitional/choreographic jumps used in free dance? Like ballet jump, mazurka etc.

the first one is a backward mohawk

You are of course at liberty to describe it as such. Personally, based on the necessary change of edge to transfer between backward and forward (thereby making the “Mohawk” incorrectly executed if it were to be labelled as such) I prefer the definition of a backward to forward push. Again, one could argue that if it’s not a Mohawk based on the above criteria, surely it is a Choctaw….but ask any ISU Ice Dance judge or ISU Tech specialist if they would award it as a Choctaw in a competitive or test scenario…I think we’d struggle to find one
