Good body alignment is one of the cornerstones for a great skater. Teaching foot- and body alignment on and off the ice is one of Gary's basic training methods, not only to create a good base for jumping technique but also to build strong skating skills and prevent injuries.
Mastery of blade
Gary is famous for his mastery of the blade. He knows everything about deep edges and mastering figures on ice. He loves experimenting with traditional steps and creating unusual moves and encourages also his students to do so.
Figure skating and physics
