Mohawk turn
Hey all, first post here. I started skating about 2 years ago as an adult. And I think I'm making pretty good progress. I can skate confidently forward and backwards. I can balance on one foot forwards and backwards and even around the turns now I can balance to one foot. My biggest challenge right now is turning around forward to backward without stopping. I've gone to several adult classes here locally. And several instructions have tried to walk me through the Mohawk turn and I am still having trouble doing it correctly. If I slow down enough I can fake it and make it work but I'm not able to confidently do it at regular skating speed. I know there are several videos online but just curious if anyone has any tips on mastering this simple looking turn.

@Isabel Mitzen Thanks, I'm going to try this!
Beginner's question!
What’s your biggest skating challenge at the moment, and how are you working to overcome it?"

@Nathaniel Hill great place to start, when you're ready, go ahead and do one side more than the other and you'll find it's easier to turn that way.

My current challenge is turning from forward to backwards without stopping. I've been trying the Mohawk turn for a long time now and I can't seem to get it right.
Push it!
You ever skate so damn hard that the next day your legs are just cooked and your like oh damn this day gonna suck?! Yeah that's me right now......I forget that maybe I need to take it a little slower (my mind "get it!" My body " dude your 49, chill")

Yes! My old butt reminds me that my knees and ankles are no longer young and fresh. I can usually skate about two hours before my body says we're done for today. If recommend soaking those feet and maybe a brace for other joints that feel tired.

Fairly new. I can skate forward and backward, fast or slow. I can also skate forward and backward on one foot. Looking to learn a lot more!
