TUTORIAL ON NOW TO TRANSITION FROM FORWARDS TO BACKWARDS SKATING

To transition from forward to backward using a Mohawk on ice skates, follow these steps:
1. Preparation:
• Skate forward in a comfortable and balanced position.
• Keep your knees slightly bent and your core engaged.
2. Setup:
• Choose which foot will lead the transition.
• Begin turning your shoulders and hips slightly in the direction you want to transition.
3. Foot Placement:
• Place the leading foot at a slight diagonal angle outward (like a “V”) with your toe pointing in the direction of your turn.
• The trailing foot should stay on the ice but prepare to pivot.
4. Weight Transfer:
• Shift your weight onto the leading foot while lifting the heel of the trailing foot slightly off the ice. This helps you pivot smoothly.
5. Pivot:
• Pivot the trailing foot inward on the ball of your foot so it faces backward.
• Simultaneously rotate your hips and shoulders to align with the new direction.
6. Complete the Transition:
• Lower the trailing foot back onto the ice.
• Bring your feet parallel, and adjust your balance to continue skating backward.
7. Practice:
• Start slowly and practice each component of the Mohawk separately until you feel confident.

Key Tips:
• Keep your movements smooth and controlled.
• Focus on maintaining good posture to prevent leaning too far forward or backward.
• Look in the direction you’re transitioning to for better balance and awareness.

Practicing this step-by-step will help you execute a clean Mohawk transition.
