One-Foot Glide

By Jo Ann Schneider Farris, About.com

Definition: To do a one-foot glide in ice skating, glide on two feet first. Then transfer your weight to the foot you want to stand on as you glide. Lift up the other foot while gliding on an edge. Don’t lift up the arms and also don’t lift up the leg too high.
