Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
This very personal explanation of figure skating directly addresses potential skaters with forthright statements such as, "Please do not let anyone talk you into shaving off your toe picks." Author and Olympic silver medalist Wilkes gives specific advice on which skates to buy (expensive), how to find a skating club, and skating technique--from the most basic glide to complicated maneuvers. The step-by-step instructions will obviously be difficult to use while skating, but they may help young skaters think through what they will try when they are on the ice. Unfortunately, the photographs are often grainy and gray, though the overall layout of the book is handsome. A good additional purchase for libraries where interest in skating is high.
