Skating with Bror Meyer . orner of any room, face toward the cornerwith one foot touching each wall, about one and a half feet apart, knees straightened andbody upright. Some support is necessary to enable the skater to lean backward and themost useful is an ordinary chair. Retaining the position described, the endeavour mustbe to: (i) Turn the feet outward as far as possible. (2) Bend the body to the right and left alternately without bending the knees. Thisgives flexibility. (3) To bend and straighten each knee alternately without changing the position ofthe feet. When practising this spread on the ice the skater should endeavour to develop hisswing as this enables the body and leg positions to be obtained more readily. It is alsoadvisable to practise this with either foot leading, otherwise it may happen that theskater habitually holds himself in an unsymmetrical position. The carriage of the headand arms depends entirely upon the taste of the individual. ii6 SKATING WITH BROR MEYER TOE-SPINS AND PIROUETTES. FIGURE 47 Figures 47 and 48.
