Скачать или смотреть EASY TUTORIAL ON HOW TO DO THE HAWK STOP

The hawk Stop on ice is a stylish and controlled way to stop while going back slightly, resembling the position of an angel with arms extended and one foot placed in front of the other while shaving the ice using the inside edge(depending on style). Here’s a step-by-step breakdown to learn the Hawk Stop safely and effectively:

⸻

Step-by-Step Hawk Stop Tutorial

What You Need:
• Basic skating balance
• Comfortable gliding forward
• Some experience on forward to backward transition.
⸻

Step 1: learn how to transition and skate backwards
• Get a comfortable forward glide on both skates.
• Keep your knees slightly bent, back straight, arms relaxed.
• using the Mohawk style, transition from forward to backwards

⸻

Step 2: Figure out what foot you want in front.
• Choose your dominant foot (either the right or the left)

• Your non-dominant leg will be gliding backwards

⸻

Step 3: Put that comfortable foot in front of the back one.
• slightly put that dominant foot in front of the other one facing 90°
• This is the foot that will do the stop

⸻

Step 4: Try doing the Hawk stop while standing and holding the wall.
• Slightly rotate your comfortable foot 90° in front of the other foot while standing.
• Apply pressure to the inside edge of your dominant skate (the foot in front).
• The blade should dig into the ice, causing you to slow down or stop, remember to hold the wall and lean forward.

⸻

Step 5: Do the Hawk stop while in motion
• Start skating forward and do the forward to backwards transition. Pick your dominant foot up and rotate it 90° and place it in front of the other foot. Apply pressure on the inside edge of the blade and lean forward while making sure your arms are spread out backwards.
• This gives the stop its “angelic” look.

⸻

Final Step : Try the Hawk stop with a little more speed:
• As you come to a stop, maintain the pose for a second.
• This shows control and adds flair.

⸻

Don’t forget to Recover Smoothly
• Bring the extended leg back in.
• Return both skates to parallel and get ready to skate again.

⸻

Tips for Mastering the Hawk Stop
• Practice on both sides to improve balance.
• Do edge drills (inside and outside edges) to build control.
• Use slow-motion video to check your form and leg extension.
• Don’t rush—focus on form before speed.
