Thursday night we’ll work on skating backwards

This Thursday night, 6:30 pm at North Dale, it’s the 2011 Backward-Skating Challenge. We’ll work on starting backwards, transitioning to and from skating backwards, and we’ll see if anyone can skate forward faster than I can backward in a length-of-the-ice challenge.

And if we are getting really good at it, we can introduce the fast start seen below…
