J.3 Braking exercises
Before you start skiking, it is important to familiarize yourself with
braking. Try these exercises on firm, flat ground and proceed as follows:
Both feet in parallel position
●
Slightly leaning forward posture
●
Push with two poles
●
Press calves backwards and simultaneously shifting body weight
●
backward i.e. push the skike(s) forward under the body and brake
Repeat this exercise as many times as is needed until the braking
●
works freely and safely. Then gradually introduce a sloping surface and
practice braking. Gradually increase the degree of slope.
J.4 Start rolling
Both feet in parallel position
●
Slightly leaning forward posture
●

●

J.5 Skating or skike techniques
Once you can safely control the rolling skike, can brake effectively and
have learn how to change directions whilst moving, then skating
techniques used in cross country ski skating should be learnt and
mastered. The techniques are done with and without pushing on the
poles and vary in their co-ordination of arm and legwork, timing and
where they apply. The various running techniques can be complex
tolearn, so for the correct learning a course is recommended with a
certified skike instructor. The skikes can also be retrofitted with original
skike reverse control wheels which stop the wheels rolling backwards
whilst you learn to skate and, they enable classic technique.
