corrEct stArtInG posItIon:
one foot in the middle, arms at 45 degrees upwards to
grab the wheel. With the other foot, push on the ground to
make the wheel turn like a spinning top.
the wheel is tilted forward very slightly, while the body is
in a vertical position.
Put the pushing foot next to the foot on the wheel.
try and turn on the spot (pivot on one spot)
Feet position
parallel and on the soles, heels raised.
Body position
in a slight dish position: pelvis slightly behind the centre,
chest sucked in (stay in front of the wheel! Do not enter it!).
head position
straight, looking in front (far away, to the ground).
Arms position
almost straight but elbows slightly bent.
nExt:
Start in the same way but put the foot which just joined the
other one on the wheel further apart, with legs slightly
bent, the wheel slightly tilted forward, the body in a vertical
position. try and transfer your body weight from
right to left by pushing with your feet and legs (bend and
straighten) and accompany the wheel movement with
your arms in front/behind to push it/pull it.
Full turn involves two parts:
– 01 the first half turn: when you put the second foot on
the wheel, it pushes the wheel into the ground and the
wheel tilts forward while doing a half turn (half turn
forward),
– 02 the second half turn: the body weight transfers
towards the other leg, the first foot pushes the wheel
into the ground, the wheel tilts backwards while doing
a half turn (half turn backwards) (caution: do not pull
the wheel to avoid this tilt!)
01 02
AIMs
– always keeping the wheel in front of the body,
which is in a vertical position.
– Feeling the change and the weight transfer from
one foot to the other.
– your gaze anticipates the direction of the wheel.
– Symmetrical action of right and left (metronome).
– Keeping the pelvis relaxed and the back open in
space.
– using the direction of the right and left arms in the
“push/pull” action.
