Left foot is stroking/pushing, right foot is gliding (so this person would be traveling directly off the right side of the page).</p><p>The first step is to match the red outline: with the foot flat on the ground, rotate it outwards about the Z-axis. This ensures you&#39;re pushing normal to the blade, rather than parallel.</p><p>The second step is to match the blue position: tilt the foot slightly inwards, about the axis running from heel to toe. This puts you on the inside edge of the blade, giving it more &quot;bite&quot; into the ice to generate the opposing force.</p><p>The bottom sketch depicts the feet in the same position, but from a different angle.</p>

@ganbold@wvy.my.id honestly, quite confusing for me personally everything i do is in this account for instance 😇

@cobalt@musicians.today scatman john also says skibidi in his famous song

@rin@post.ebin.club I see you're back in Malaysia

It&#39;s always easier to accidentally catch the toe picks when they&#39;re larger than one is accustomed to (changing blades; getting different rental skates; going from hockey to figure skates it&#39;s even more pronounced).</p><p>Equipment aside, catching the toe pick can also be a sign of improper stroking technique (I&#39;ve been trying to fix this on my right foot for ages). It&#39;s very hard to unlearn the muscle memory of walking, where the foot points forward and the ankle flexes up and down as the foot rocks from heel to toe. During a stroke, the foot should point out to the side (instead of forward), and push off the ground from the arch/inside midfoot (instead of the toe). This position avoids engaging the toe pick at all, which should avoid a lot of falling :)</p><p>(Sorry if you or your daughter already knew that! I&#39;ve just been thinking about this a lot recently because I&#39;m working on my technique too)</p>
