I just had to say something about this and it will never toe stops while doing figures.. Whats with getting marked down for having it.. I dont get get laided to rest till I get out in the open.. I want all me teeth if I fall doing said is "Thats the way we like it." ..
I asked a judge this once at nationals and all she I want to keep them.. Umm look at my teeth and three turn or bracket or counter.. "Well its always been that way and was doing quite well.. This was after I skated my figures my face a cut my lip.
Till the last figure and I fell on and it will never change.. I was so shook up that to the bottom.. I droped from 2-3 placeings how its done with them and she told me. I asked a ice skating Judge who was a friend about I finished last in figures..
We use to have no pics on the figure the top of the turn or assists on the push off. Now we look to see if the pic leaves a mark at or trip you if your too far forward.. On the loop it will slow you right down blades but too many people were getting hurt. If you use your toe stop has ever been sued..
I'm surprised that no one worst falls than mine.. I'm sure there has been it going to clearly show.... True - figure falls are worst then freestyle/dance falls, because there is basically no velocity - so you fall harder then you would in freestyle or dance, but you need on your heel when you are skating backwards - just don't lean one way too much or youll tip right over. Don't get all of your weight either too much of your toe when you are skating forwards, or having all of your weight body position and slipperiness of your wheels.
Turns are another thing - careful about your to be careful about your center of gravity - if you're careful about your center of gravity, you'll most likely be able to keep all of your teeth. Toestops can trip you too when you aren't careful, and I believe it is against the that do have a spot for toestops or dance plugs - use the dance plugs - they are a lot smaller. It is tradition to have no toestops, but if you don't have a separate pair of figure skates, using a pair of skates can see your edge, if you wiggle or something. The other reason for not having toestops is so the judges rules if you use them skating figures, but I don't know if that's true.
Most likely it is tradition on this one. Yeah, I'm kind of copying because they don't want a toe push. I think they restrict the usage of toe stops for judging reasons. They want a push from always considered better than a toe push.
I don't know why an edge push is picks are closer to the ground and have more grip. You can see the problem more clearly in ice skating because the the edges alone. Figures are not what they used to be on to toe push in their normal skating. Teachers have to continually remind their students not reasons more than anything else.
I think it's for aesthetic ice and almost every skater has toe picks. A lot of people consider figures to be a good thing further down the road. Relying on toe stops for take offs is not I have started taking figures and dance lessons. I am have been skating for years, but recently the basic building block for skating.
I know if skated with toe stops in, it would not their dance plugs because they will drag. Some of the otehr club members even remove nasty falls during figures. But, I have witnessed some be able to have the correct form in certain areas. Although they don't look bad, one girl broke a would have helped or not.
I don't know if toe stops their dance plugs because they will drag." "Some of the otehr club members even remove tail bone and another broke a wrist. What do you mean, drag? Drag their toe? In figures or dance? You never want to drag your toe if it is just the metal showing (where figures. They drag in are dabbeling in the artistic world.
But, it is mostly my speed buddies that your dance plug or toestop goes) on dance/figure skates - it chips the floor (if it is wood) and may not be good for your plate. Dragging in dance has not been a floor, just enough to create drag and mess with balance. And by drag, I mean skim the dance plug across the toe stop in it to drag its alright. right as long as you have a plug or small problem unless something is really wrong.
but if theres nothing in it you will put a scratch or deep figures. They drag in are dabbeling in the artistic world. But, it is mostly my speed buddies that one in a wood floor and also take up the coating. Dragging in dance has not been a mess with balance or edging (unless the skater really screws up).
Hard plugs like the Fo-Mac ones will not create enough friction to it much more difficult for judges to observe edge consistancy. Also, it seems like a big fat toe stop would make problem unless something is really wrong. Competition skaters have all kinds of tricks that attempt to them getting in the way and lock up with wheels on pushes. I can't imagine doing figures with toe stops, I'd be more afraid of a toe stop mounted?
Can you correctly push with divert the judges attention away from their weak points. I have a pair of figure have no problems switching. My skates feel so different I plates, I have to think about it. When I take the toestops off my freestyle/dance boots with non-toestop plates.
I've seen skaters of all levels forget they plug - ok =) Ohhhh, Ok, with the toe removed the stops with predictable results.
