[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you mean by 'edge work'?[/quote] The bottom of a skate blade is not flat. It's concave. Very skilled skaters are always on either one edge or the other. It take tremendous control to skate on those edges. The little movements, twists, are particularly hard. If you've ever seen a figure skater doing actual figures, you will see the results of the edge work in the patterns they lay down on the ice. Most figure skaters can't really do this stuff any more. Ice dancers still do.[/quote]
