In this video,
Lloyd gives you some advice on how to effectively use your toe picks when ice skating. For figure skaters, toe picks are an integral part of the sport. A lot of jumps and steps require you to use them such as the toe loop, lutz, and flip jumps.
Even if you are not interested in jumping on the ice, you can still use your toe picks to do some fun figure skating steps.
Keep in mind that there are some safety points to keep in mind when using your toe picks, which are discussed in this video.

The fact that he can pretend he will fall but not really fall is my goal 😂
Sameee. I get a mini heart attack whenever he does it, but it ends up looking so cool. 😆 🍰
EXACTLY my thought! That pretend-to-fall move is a new level of balance & confidence #iceGoals
im amazed how good he is at these random moves no one has ever seen before
I am a brand new adult skater, but I keep imagining routines in my head when certain songs come on. I was trying to explain one to my husband but now I can just show him this video!! Thank you for this ❤
Lol,I do the same thing😂
I have a whole playlist just for that basically.
Glad you are posting again. I love your enthusiasm, it looks like you make all the hard work fun. Also your accent is lush.
Thanks! I appreciate your support of my work (and my accent) ❤️. More to come in the future 🙂
🍰 thanks for the video ! I really like the step sequence of Alexei Yagudin when he used lots of toe picking ! Now I can try that !!
Thanks for watching until the end ❤️ yes, yagudin used to do a lot of toe steps in his routines. The final step, toe, step move I show in this video can actually be seen in the winter sun routine of yagudin in the 2002 Olympic short program.
🎂 I don’t have a question, just wanted to say I appreciate your videos and I use them to hold me over until I can get some time on the ice (and will probably keep using them as supplementally while I’m working, although I can only listen to them as I drive for a living). I’m new to the whole ice skating thing, but it’s been a favorite of mine to watch since I was a kid. I’m serious about working on things when work allows and am looking at skates already (not a fan of renting shoes/skates when I go places).
Keep up the great work! These videos are crazy helpful and fun to boot!
🍰🤛 Hi Lloyd, I’m on level 6 of UK basic skills and I’d like to see a routine that I can practice/improve everything I learnt so far
Smashing cake with a fist, very nice. Thanks for watching the full video and showing your support 👍
There is a beginner step sequence up on the RUclips channel. There might be one or two things in there that would be a challenge for you, but it probably isn't too far from your level. You should try giving it a go. There are a few more step sequence videos on the website/Patreon that could interest you too. I also added a choreography routine this month and there is a second one coming next month 🙂
🎂Yeeah that’s really nice video Lloyd , I’m really enjoying watching it 🤩
Please post more 😃
Thanks! Glad you liked the video ❤️
🍰 When running across the ice, not super fast, but at a steady pace, does one run as if they are in their running shoes (on a flat edge) or with the toe picks touching the ice first or a combination of both? 😀 I love this tutorial!
Thanks for watching the full video. It can be either, but certainly when you pick up too much speed, you'll need to go to the flat edge to avoid falling and breaking your nose😅
Also, keep in mind that you music be all the way up on the toe (as I mentioned in the video) to avoid slipping off it.
The fact that the final step combanation looks exactly like Yagudin's Winter makes me laugh so hard... Thanks for such great tutorial.
🎂👍🏼. Hi Lloyd….glad to see some more videos coming through. I still refer back to some of your videos from the Ally Pally days. 😊
Thanks for watching the full video 🙂 I had a very busy period recently at work, which was explained in a bit more detail in one of the other comments in this video. So didn't have time to add any new RUclips videos, I only just managed to keep the content coming to Patreon! I'm going to try and be more consistent on RUclips in the coming months 🙂
(any suggestions from people would be appreciated ❤️)
Hey, you can totally use it in St. Patric theme of your/your kids performance. That would be so much fun! ☺️❤️
Yes, toe steps are perfect for this sort of routine. In my first year at the European and world championships, I performed an Irish dance routine that was choreographed by myself and my partner at the time. Toe steps were an integral part of the routine.
🍰 This is so cool and you make it look so easy, I would love to do this!
Thanks for watching the full video ❤️ Start slow and don't rush. You would be surprised how quickly you can pick up these toe steps. When working with students in person or online on zoom, every has the same horrified expression when I say we will work on toe stops. But they quickly realise its an achievable goal 👍
Funny at the barrier 😊
🎂 so much fun! Thanks for the videos!
Thanks for watching until the end 🙂 you're welcome, more to come in the future 👍
Can you show us how to run with toe picks and other basic toe pick tricks
There are some more videos involving toe steps on the website. If the video proves popular on RUclips, I'll make another one detailing some different toe pick tricks like you mention. 👍
Hey, this is awesome! I was looking for toe pick and arm variations for my choreography and look what I found 😁
🍰 (you're making me crave Japanese shortcake!!)
I just did this exercise and fell flat on my butt a couple of days ago. I'm a learning ISI FS1 and still trying to get my groove back after our local rink shut down for 2 years so I've only got a couple of months (a few sessions in). I landed so badly that I got a bruise near my tailbone and I had difficulty walking for a couple of days. No bone fracture or spinal injuries thankfully but I just wanted to share it. Aside from practicing and getting used to it on ice; Are there any off ice exercises or other more basic practices I can do to improve my control and balance when doing toe pick maneuvers?
As always you've been super helpful and I love watching your videos!!!
I don't think I have ever had Japanese shortcake. I'll have to keep my eye open for some.
A bruised tailbone is never fun, I have had it a few times in my career. You can buy special padded shorts that a lot of skaters wear on ice to help avoid such injuries in the future.
The best off ice exercises to do to help your toe pick skills on the ice are ankle strengthening exercises. I regularly make my in person and online zoom students practice ankle strengthening exercises with bands to help avoid injuries like rolling your ankles when going up on your toes.
If your ankles are weak, you can easily injure them when going up on the toes. My ankles are quite strong, but as you see in the video, I came very close to rolling my ankle when I wasn't too focus on hopping on my left toe while I was trying to explain. I drew attention to it when I edited the video as it was a good word of warning 🙂
I'm happy to hear you enjoy watching my videos too ❤️
🎂 What cake do u like most?🤣
Beside, i learned forward outside crossroll from you video, thank you! Would you make another about backward outside crossroll in future?
Vanilla cheesecake is my favourite 😁
I'm thrilled to hear the forward crossroll video helped you out! I have a backward crossroll video on my website. It's something I can look at bringing over to RUclips in the Future 👍
Yes! It's really helpful! So looking forward backward crossroll video and other skating skill videos too😆
@@bzyhc126 your support is greatly appreciated 🙂
🍰 I am currently working on a single salchow and the toe pick is my worst nightmare! I can’t quite figure out how to rock up onto my toe pick in order to stop myself from skating backwards and begin the jump! I just scratch ice, spin around, and fail 😩 I know you don’t usually teach jumps but do you have any tips? 🙏🏻
I actually teach jumps quite regularly in person and over zoom, I just don't have a lot of content on my social media teaching them.
There are many things that could be happening with the jump based on what you describe.
Have you watched our video covering the salchow both on the ice and off the ice? There is even a two foot salchow video on the website that isn't available on youtube.
My guess without seeing it is that your positioning is off on the entrance and then you potentially tense up during the take off. Improving your stability and positions on your three turns (both forward outside and backward inside) and your landing position stability will make things easier too. Getting used to the mechanics of the jump off the ice will also help your confidence with the jump on the ice.
If you want to go over the jump with me so I can check it out and give you some personalised coaching on it to sort it out quicker, you can always book a 30 minute session on zoom here: icecoachonline.com/zoom-lessons
Good job
🍰 we miss you! Where’ve you been!
Thanks showing your support! I didn't want to take such a long break but work became very busy as we took In a lot of Ukrainian skaters in our club, so we became very busy helping them out. 🙂
3:49 almost looked like Brazilian samba 😂
Great introduction to using toe picks! Definitely going to try a bit at my rink today!
Also, this is a busy session? I would love my rink to be this busy on a regular basis.
Loyd you make toe pick tricks look like a piece of 🍰🎂 you always funny and to the point. How can I reach out to you inquiring about private lessons and price?I do have a patron account established. I'm looking into video recording myself via cell phone and then sending you my my disastrous execution of an element (ex. the tail end of forward outside 3s or like tail end of forward inside mowhaks) if you even do that and how?
Haha thanks for watching the full video! After 28 years on ice, they become a bit more natural 😁
You can reach out to me via Patreon private message or email me at team@icecoachonline.com and I'll get back to you. I have quite a few student that do the same, sending me videos and then we correct them over zoom etc. The exit of forward outside 3s and Mohawks is a very common issue that needs working on 👍
Wowww. Thanks 🌎🙂❄⛸for the video.
Kind Regards.
Glad you liked it 👍
🎂Is it normal for your toes to hurt (like they are getting squashed) while you're on the toe picks?
🎂 I do liked your video and so excited to try it !!
Keep it up u’re awesome 👏🏼
🎂❤Thank you for the tips!👍😎
🥮toe steps are actually elegant.
🍗
I have been here for quite a while, and never tried this type of sweet/cake. It sounds like I am definitely missing out. I'll be heading to the UK soon as the ice rink in Torun is closed, but will be back shortly. If you make it yourself, you must let me know where I can buy some 👍
We'll talk about it when You'll back to Poland :D I'll be honoured, when You'll accept my invitation :D
@@krecik-a sounds good 👍
Great video 🎂
Happy to hear you enjoyed it, and thanks for showing your support watching until the end with the 🎂
🎂👍 (Fun fact: I just had cake before watching the video) Loved the video, I'm currently focusing on toe jumps' technique and I find this very helpful for getting used to pick with the whole toepick. Just one question, when going up on your toepick, should you point your toes, bend your knee or a mixture of both? When I bend my knee I feel I have to bend it a lot to go fully on the toepick but at the same time if I point my toes and jump it feels easier to roll/hurt my anke.
Additional fun fact: I had a piece of cake before making it. That's why I went on a cake rant at the end 😂.
Pointing your toes is recommended, but when it comes to bending your knees, it depends on what you're trying to do on your toes. Different toe moves will require different amounts of knee bend. But point your toes 👍
As you mention the risk of rolling the ankle (as I almost did in the video too), it's recommended to do ankle strengthening exercises off the ice to help avoid such injuries (as well as making sure your are tieing your laces correctly before skating).
Nice video! Could I ask which skates u wear in this video ? ❤
I'm feeling mostly confident with normal ice skating by now, but I commonly fall by accidentaly touching the ice with my toe picks. What could I be doing wrong?
🍰 🍰 🍰 🍰 Great video. Please come to Berlin and teach me in person
I would love to get a workshop/camp organised there in the future 👍
In the mean time you would have to settle for a zoom lesson 🙂
🍰 could you try free style move video allways fun to try new tricks as figure skater
Thanks for watching the full video and showing your support! I actually just added a new video to my website/Patreon last week of a freestyle type move that is a unique stop called a hawk stop 🙂 I'll think about adding more freestyle type tutorials in the future 👍
What's your fav cake
I'm a big fan of cheesecake, specifically vanilla flavoured. Close runner up would be some kind of red velvet cake! Thanks for watching the full video ❤️
🎂
Thanks for watching until the end of the video and showing your support 🙂❤️

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it. Cake emoji 😂😂👍
Prefer pure chocolate to cake. Cheers for the tips.
That's a fair comment! Chocolate is good too. You're welcome, more tips coming in the future 🙂
🍰 How is your inline skating going?
Appreciate the support watching the full video 👍 inline skating took a bit of a pause during the winter months, but now it's warming up I'll be heading out again on them 🙂
I use them mainly as a form of exercising in the nice weather as opposed to going out for a run.
🍰 i tried to walk like a Model on my toepicks. it was Not sexy 🤣 but fun
😂 Great comment ! Had I have thought of this before making the video, I would have told everyone watching to try the model walk and given it a go myself 😂 thanks for watching until the end ❤️
he, this is poland...witch city?
It's in Torun. I regularly come over here to work with the skaters from the club MKS Axel Torun. It's a beautiful little city.
@@IceCoachOnline thx. for your info...saw u shortly in the kiss&cry by the SP
