Don't forget this if you want to improve glide on your skate skis

One of the big lesson requests I get from skate skiers is that they want to improve their ability to glide on skis. So I usually start with a variety of 1 footed balance drills to improve a skier's balance. But waxing your skis is also important and I have been testing some easy to use paste wax from Fast Wax (details at: skifastwax.com) It certainly made my skis glide better and is worth a look for those people that want a quick and easy way to wax their skis. Note that in the video I mentioned using a "Speed Brush"..in fact Fast Wax calls it their "Speed Block".

Here are some previous videos that I have done that deal with this topic of 1 footed balance and balancing on a flat ski. Check them out to improve your skating.
