The Hamster

Quin had his turn on the skating treadmill. The machine allows a skilled teacher to monitor and correct bad technique. In the picture you can see that the Mighty Quin is not holding his skates in a straight on position while the floor is moving underneath him.  When they first turned the machine on, he did a 'Superman' and went horizontal as his feet went out from underneath him.
After this session, he did a hockey lesson on ice and we could see a noticeable improvement, but he will need to be the hamster a few more times before he truly gets it right.
