How it works
Get access to the course
After you submit your order you’ll create a username and password for this site. This is where you will access your course in the Dashboard (you will need an internet connection to access your course). Watch the first couple of exercises before you go skating to practice them.
Check your progress
When the exercise you are practicing starts to flow and you maintain a constant training speed, you may be ready to progress to the next exercise. But do confirm (by filming yourself) that you have perfected movements in the sequence of each exercise. If an exercise feels too difficult or challenging you may need to return to previous movements in the sequence.
Film Yourself
Try to film your practice sessions of each exercise from the angles shown in the demo videos. What you think you are doing and what you are ACTUALLY doing may not be the same thing. A video of your skating allows you to see yourself clearly and to compare the details with what you see in the video demos.
Each Exercise from any course is supplemented by:
- Focus points with animated graphics and diagrams for extra clarity
- Common problems for each exercise
- How to fix them
- Downloadable ‘Practice Exercise Summary’ list for easy on-skates reference
-
Downloadable “Focus Points” List, which will allow you to “be the instructor”
Downloads are not available with "How To Skate" courses

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What happens after I purchase a course or package?
A: After you submit your order you’ll create a username and password for this site. This is where you will access your course in the Dashboard (you will need a working internet connection to access your course). You will also receive an email confirmation of your order.
Q: Are my credit card details secure?
A: Yes. Paypal is a secure payment portal accepting credit card payments and transfers.
Q: Can I get access to the course all at once or will it be delivered in pieces?
A: Yes, you will receive the entire course every time you access it. You can scan the entire course first and then hopefully choose to work through the exercise sequence systematically over several months. You should not be able to do the entire course from the beginning. You will reach a level where the current exercise is very challenging and not yet easy and perfect and that’s where you should remain, training ALL the previous exercises to that point. In time that difficult exercise will be mastered and you can then ‘graduate’ onto the next slightly more difficult one in the sequence.
Q: How long will I have access to this course?
A: Forever. Once purchased the material is yours. If you need to take a break from skating you can then return and still access your course(s).
