- Excellent book for illustrating skating moves!
This book provides step by step illustrations of a range of skating moves from beginners to advance. The placement of the foot patterns is easy to see with arrows to show direction. As a level one freestyle figure skater, I find that the book is missing directions on beginning movements, warmups, and preparation for jumps and spins.Advanced skaters find this book extremely helpful in learning to perform double and triple rotations in jumps and various spins. Written instructions are provided to assist skaters at all levels.

- excellent for beginners and the budding Olympic hopefuls!
This book is very comprehensive. If you are in the UK, it is one of the best books you can buy. It does not go into details about skating background/history in other countries. It is a book for skaters. It tells and shows you with excellent diagrams how to get basics right, it takes you, using 'step' diagrams, from single through to triple jumps, it also gives you 'step' diagrams for the basics of field moves and extensive details on spins and spirals.

My daughter found the book extremely helpful, particularly the double and triple jump diagrams and is now more able to understand what her coach is trying to get her to achieve.

Many thanks to Peter Morrisey and James Young for providing a wonderful off-ice coaching tool!

- My fav of the Learn to Skate books
Liked this one better than 'Figure Skating for Dummies' and Petkevich's book. (Though I liked the photos in Petkevich's book better) Some of the grammar is awkward. Some of the photos aren't captioned properly, and the text doesn't always match the drawings. But strongly recommend it to Adult Beginners. It has the answers they are looking for.
