Swedish 5 Spot Circle
Swedish 5 Spot Circle
A great setup to practice 10 & 2 open hip edgework. Set up pucks or small tires like a 5 on a dice. Starting on the outside of the circle, skate to the center spot and 10&2 around the tires.
At first, dial in the movement without a puck. As you get comfortable add a puck and speed. Work to do this skill while keeping your head up!
