Chapter 523: Ice Skating
David is a foreign devil, he put down his backpack before entering the house, took out the video recorder and shot wildly at the cracks in the house.
The large backpack he opened was filled with boxes of videotapes, and it seemed that he was well prepared this time.
In the next few days, David took Didi and took pictures all over the village, even the farmland outside the village.
Seeing the more than one-foot thick ice in the pond pit outside the village, David shouted regretfully: "Natural skating rink, but unfortunately I didn't bring skates." ”
Since the flood in 76 years, every year in the cold winter wax moon, the ice surface has frozen, and the children in the village have taken the time to go skating secretly, and they have been seen by adults, and they have been beaten up when they are taken home. That's it, every winter, a few children in the villages of the beach area have to fall into the ice holes, some of them are cold and cold, but they have never heard of hurting people.
Last year, when the water level dropped, the edges of the pond pits were exposed, each about five acres in size, and David didn't notice. This year, the thousands of acres of water in front of the village were connected, covered with ice a foot behind, and David saw it, and he skipped in leather boots for more than an hour excitedly. He rubbed his ankles with his hands and exclaimed regretfully, "Ice skates!"
Roller skates!
You listened to David's shout, and realized that you had overlooked something. Later generations of their own due to leg disability, never had the experience of skating, after passing here, every winter, guarding this natural thousand acres of skating rink, even did not think of skating.
In later generations, ice skating was a popular pastime, not to mention in winter, and in the hot summer, indoor skating rinks spread all over the countryside. In my own e-commerce mall, there are many styles of skates, men, women and children, high, medium and low-end.
In this day and age, there are really no skates to buy. Not to mention the county seat, even in the sports goods counter of the department store in the waterfront area, Yoyo often goes to shop, and I don't see anyone selling skates.
In the Shennan market, there are ice skates, but far from water can quench the thirst. Now there is no express delivery industry, even if you send a train to consign, it will take five days at the earliest.
Yoyo understands skates, but the other kids don't. Even Didi asked, "What kind of shoes are the skates, old lady?"
Not to mention children, not many adults know about ice skates, and Yoyo's father acts as a narrator to popularize skating knowledge to everyone.
After my aunt figured it out, she took Wu Xin'er's hand and said, "Sister, you are enjoying great happiness abroad, skating and special shoes." ”
Looking at David's regretful expression, Aunt Shengnan said with a smile: "Although we don't sell skates in Linshui, there is a skating team in Linshui Sports School, where do they have skates, now that the sports school is on holiday, let your uncle ask them to buy some."
Zhenyu Company has just sponsored a grant of 100,000 yuan to the sports school, and they are preparing to go to the provincial capital to buy various equipment after the year. ”
David heard that there were skates in Linshui, and he couldn't wait for his uncle to come back. After lunch, I took my children to Linshui before one o'clock in the afternoon.
The advantage of having a car is obvious, just go, at two o'clock in the afternoon, a group of people picked up skates at the city sports school.
The skates of the sports school are one style, old and bulky, but they are made of real materials. Except for the instructors who use large numbers, most of them are small ones, and they are specially purchased according to the shoe size of their students. They are not operated by the outside world, not arranged by the uncle who aided the DPRK, and they are not sold to the outside world at all.
No one buys it for sale, this is a bulky skate in the eyes of Youyou, the price is as high as 120 yuan, which is equivalent to a staff member's balance for a year.
There is an ice skating rink in the sports school in the whole district, which is still used for teaching purposes and is not open to the public. Every winter, the pit pond can skate for less than two months, and in this era when eating and drinking are difficult, people are not in the mood or time for this kind of recreational activity. Even the kids skate and only have time to play so many times.
There are not many skates in sports schools, and even fewer are new, less than ten pairs. Including the worn, the total is less than sixty pairs. Since the students are on vacation, they don't need it for the time being, so they pout their grandmother and buy all the skates at the original price.
Looking at David's light and flexible movements on the skating rink, the teacher of the sports school sighed: "Foreign skating has developed to the stage of national fitness, we are close to the big city of 10 million people, and there are less than 30 people learning to skate." ”
When buying shoes at the city sports school, David and the children patronized to try out the size, and no one noticed how many pairs they bought. Yoyo found a batch of similar ones in the mall, adding up to more than 100 pairs, enough for the children in the whole village to wear.
When Grandma entered the village, she announced that David had bought it for the children in the village, and the children could wear it at any time, but they could not take it home.
With the skates, David led the children on the ice every day, and the children of the whole village followed suit.
At this point, the language barrier seems to be gone. David became the children's skating teacher, and his every movement was vividly imitated by the children.
The children in the beach area can skate, and in the past, they were just playing, and they were skillful but not very tricky. This time I followed David, and I really played with flowers.
Figure skating originated in England in the 18th century, and has since developed rapidly in Germany, the United States, Canada and other European and American countries. In 1924, it was included in the first Winter Olympic Games. The main movements are jumping, spinning, successive steps, and swallow steps
Jumps are categorized as one week, two, three, or quadruple.
The rotation postures are crouch rotation, swallow rotation, and upright rotation. From these three postures, many postures can be changed.
There are three types of sequel steps: straight continuation, circular continuation, and serpentine continuation. Succession steps include turns, footwork, small jumps, and edge changes. In addition, footwork and rotation can also serve as a bridge between the elements of technical movements.
Turn 3: The trajectory drawn by the skate blade on the ice is in the shape of the number "3".
Brackets: The trajectory drawn by the skate blade on the ice is a bracket "}".
Inner and outer hooks: one-legged turns, both changing direction and changing arcs.
There are many types of swallow poses, and the floating legs can be raised in front, side, or back. If the player pulls the floating leg with his hand, it is to support the swallow step.
David's skating skills are very high and professional, and he learns the fastest, David's Chinese is shallow after all, and he can't speak a lot of professional terms, so he will pout out his English in a hurry. The children of Hantun Village don't understand, but you understand.
Instead of Didi, Yoyo became David's full-time skating translator, and the children in the village not only learned to skate, but their English skills increased rapidly. Especially the dialogue, the pronunciation is more and more similar to David.
