In this lesson, we break down how to properly use the barrier at the ice rink to help you learn new skating elements with more confidence. A lot of skaters either avoid the barrier completely or become too dependent on it, but when used correctly, it can become one of the best training tools at the rink.

We’ll show you how to use the barrier for steps, turns, jumps, edge exercises, plus other cool skating moves while also explaining when it’s time to take the element onto open ice. We’ll also show you a few common mistakes to avoid so the barrier helps your skating instead of holding it back.
