Mohawks Ice Racing Club - Solihull

04/10/2026

Great session last night.
We worked on stride pattern (crossovers per corner and where)
And
Racing line (the line we skate around the track)

2 laps with 2ins (2 crossovers before the apex, normally 2 out)
3 laps with 4 crossovers around each corner (more continuous crosses and left blade “may” set down around the apex, a skill in itself)
4 laps with a deep/wide entry and tighter exit.

Learn to skate
Learn to speed skate
Learn stride patterns, pacing, lines, overtake timing, rules, tactics, competition strategy, mindset, advanced starts - never stop improving!

Just look at the skills on display here, tight 2 ins, wide 2 ins, tight and wide exits, protecting place in the pack!

Brilliant by Niall and Adam -
The first hurdle of every season is qualifying at the national trials, now onwards for the start of their 4 year Olympic cycle.
A chance to build solid foundations and preparation over the next season.

Just like the rest of the club they will keep working hard to make the improvements to win! 🏆

Seven skaters have been selected to represent Great Britain across World Tour 1-5, following the Performance Selection Event in Nottingham.
