The Figure Skating Book

This indispensable guide for young figure skaters combines a passion for the sport with expert instruction. Richly illustrated throughout with step-by-step black-and-white photographs and diagrams, The Figure Skating Book shows in detail the steps it takes to get you gliding, stroking, turning mohawks and skating edges, doing jumps, spins, and field moves, and even dancing. Debbi Wilkes also discusses how to choose a skating club and coach, what equipment to buy and how to keep it in top-notch shape.
