180 Turn

A necessity if you want to look good on the ice, a well practiced transition between skating forwards and skating backwards is required. For this, two basic methods are available: the Mowhawk and the 3 turn.

Essentially, for hockey skaters or while using hockey skates, putting pressure on one side to towards the front of the blade, it is possible to spin around relatively easily 180 degrees to face backwards. The same can be achived when turning from backwards to forwards.
