Snowfeet* & Skiskates Tutorial - How to Become a PRO Skiskater

This video is a tutorial on how to use both Snowfeet and Skiskates and become a PRO in this new winter sport called skiskating. IS IT HARD TO LEARN? Many of you have asked if it’s hard to learn. Skiskating with Snowfeet or Skiskates is actually pretty easy. It is as hard as learning to ski or skate. In fact, many people find it even easier. However, it takes some time and you will definitely fall now and then, but that’s part of the fun. One of the keys, is to keep the front-back balance. If you play ice hockey, ice skate, or even use inline skates and it should come pretty naturally for you. BODY POSITION A common mistake many beginners make is they spread their legs too wide and have difficulty controlling their ride. Instead, keep your legs at about shoulder width. During the ride, you can also place one foot in front of the other if you want to increase your stability. Another common mistake is keeping your legs straight. Instead, you should keep your legs flexible and slightly bend your knees to have a better balance. WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION Don’t place your weight over your toes like you would with skis, because sooner or later you will fall. Instead, place your weight over the middle or back of your feet. What that does is puts your center of gravity over the middle of your feet or over the heels. This will prevent you from catching the tips of your Snowfeet or Skiskates into the snow. It is a bit harder to use skiskates on ungroomed terrain. In these conditions, it’s best to bring your weight over your heels and lift up your toes to prevent falling as you go over bumps. TURNING Turning is pretty much the same as turning with skis. Just tilt your skiskates to their edges and move your body and legs into the direction where you want to go. Actually many people find turning with Snowfeet or Skiskates easier than turning with those long clunky skis. SKATING The best way to start your ride is to skate like a hockey player. Push your legs sideways. Do not put your weight over your toes while skating, otherwise, you might catch the tips in the snow. STOPPING You can stop the same way you stop with your skis or skates. This is also called a hockey stop. Make sure you distribute your weight evenly over both of your Snowfeet to make you stop easier and slower. If you need to slow down, simply use a heel brake. HIKING TRAILS Skiskating on hiking trails is our favorite way to use Snowfeet. Depending on the terrain and steepness of the trail, you have to adjust your body position. If the trail is steep and difficult to ride on, lean the upper part of your body forward and spread your arms to maintain your balance. Again, keep your weight on your heels and use the heel brake to slow down when necessary.
