Wtf is wrong with those men.They think that everything a girl does is inherently sexual like what??? So disturbing!!I hope those comments didnt affect you much, thank you for sharing!
i'm so in awe with figure skating too! but i could never do it myself i think as the guy said i think i'm over the hill too haha for a few years now ive been following the work of yuzuru hanyu and in my opinion he's literally the best and especially the most artistic skater out there and still he stayed so humble. and his performances are just literal art! if you haven't seen it please do! i hope you will be as fascinated by his way of skating and performing as i am :) his 2018 pyeongchang free skate omg! but anyways i've recently decided to start ballet again after stopping for about 7 years and i think some part in that decision is your work and the last ballet video and the nutcracker videos you did :)
i’m a figure skater and i love this so much. yulia at the sochi olympics was also one of my inspirations. your spins were so good and it was so funny seeing you trying to spot while spinning😭😭. the things you couldn’t name are called swizzles btw. very excited for this series and i can’t wait to see your progress
I’m so glad your going after your dream. As a figure skater, I speak from experience, it’s hard first time! But I got the hang of it and so will you. I also have been doing it sense I was 2 so you can trust me❤️
That is absolutely disgusting what those men are saying. Having watched you since you were at 40k, and watching your growth mentally can really be seen in this clip. You handled this so well and I hope they get exposed for these horrible comments, which should never be said EVER
Hey, figure skater here. Crossovers, spins and t-stop on your first lesson is amazing, usually people work on those after a few months! I used to have a problem with spotting too (I took dance before I learned to spin in skating). One thing my skating coach taught me that helped was to look in the direction your spinning. Assuming you prefer spinning counter-clockwise (most right-handed people do) try to think about constantly looking to the left. Since you're spinning to the left, looking to that direction will keep your head centered. If you spin clockwise, just look over your right side instead. Sorry if that's confusing, it's hard to explain movement through text lol. Also I'm sorry about those gross men. People sexualizing sports like skating and gymnastics is a huge problem and it sucks. But hopefully you try skating again! You did great!
Wow I’m actually so impressed with how well you did on your first lesson! Do you think being a ballerina played a role in it?? I wish I could have someone teaching me along the way too instead of me learning by myself because I feel like it’d make things so much easier and they can tell me what I’m doing right or wrong
As a figure skater I was so excited when this popped up! (Have been watching your channel for years). I also do a bit of coaching, and you did great for your first lesson! Would recommend in the future just wearing normal leggings, not those flared pants, as your blades can get caught in them. Most teens and adults just wear regular leggings, some of the little kids wear colourful pants. The Lululemon zip up jackets you mentioned at the start are great too, or a vest. F**k those guys, that's so gross, your body was completely covered, and even if It wasn't that's disgusting to hear them talking like that. People at my rink literally skate in crop tops/bra tops. Now I'm paranoid there are creepy men watching :/ Anyway, keep at it, don't worry about random strangers! Hope you get your own skates soon (make sure you get ones that are the right level and fit for your feet - get fitted professionally, I'm sure your coach will know where to go). Look forward to seeing more skating videos!
The fact that they’re sexualizing someone they think is a minor (who is probably on the same skating rink as their kids who are also doing the exact same activity of skating) is disgusting. I feel sorry for the poor woman married to this man. I hope he doesn’t have daughters. The bar is truly in hell.
Gosh what he said is so disgusting… sexualizing someone they believe is a minor, saying that Luna’s “half naked” when she’s literally wearing long sleeves and pants (which indicates that a woman’s outfit is never an ‘excuse’ for them to be sexualised by, as perverts have those horrible thoughts regardless of the situation), commenting on girl’s’ appearance, blatantly talking abt how ‘a man can dream’ (of those disgusting things he had in his mind)… ppl like that should be burnt in hell.
I'm so sad and disgusted to hear the audio of the two men talking about you, I'm so angry that this type of behaviour continues to exist and come completely naturatl to men. I'm sorry Luna you had to hear them and you now feel in such a terrifying level of self-consiousness. Other than that, don't feel bad for looking like an amateur, is amazing what you can do! It went so good on your first lesson! You have to keep going, keep learning, get more and more confident. It is with practise and patience that good things happen ♥ Lots of love and light babe xx
i agree with almost everything you just said but i was just thinking and i feel like it’s important to point out that actually this behavior doesn’t come naturally to men. it is learnt from other people they know, it is perceived from strangers or their environment, media, etc. it’s good to know that this behavior is mostly learnt bc it means it can be unlearnt or simply not taught. ik we can’t change how men are portrayed in media or what other people teach or do, but at least each person can be aware of the fact that slow change is not impossible
those guys conversation really disturbed me, the fact that no matter what women do or wear they will always be sexualized makes me so angry. you looked so beautiful figure skating and i’m very excited to watch the next video! love u luna
Damn, poor wife of this guy. He‘s staring at girls and he believes Luna is 15 - 17, so he KNOWS he shouldn’t sexualise her. But yet he apparently can‘t help ogling a girl who is 30 years his junior. ‚Dreaming‘ about it. Damn man. Disgusting.
I am an ice skater and I know to boys and they were pretty young, they did the cutest thing ever, they figure skated to Star Wars and they had ships and light savers, it was adorbs!
@@ragnarkisten It truly is. Sadly a woman of any age can compliment a woman or a mother about a child without concern or question. A man does so, and he's looked at with suspicion and fear- or much worse.
A 52 years old man SHOULDN'T "dream of a 16-year-old girl" or should be confident enough to display his disgusting thoughts to others. I'll never stop saying that this needs to be taught in families because its an abhorrent behavior and unfortunately too common in men.
IKR! I totally agree with this. Just like I'll never stop saying that young girls should NOT be dreaming to marry a old rich guy to get their money. It's a disgusting display of objectifiying not only men but specially herself as a object to be used.
Exactly! The audicity to say that out loud… But what angers me as well is that “man 2” just kept laughing at his words instead of putting a stop to it so it continues…
That conversation of the two men was so weird but it shouldn't make you stop wearing what you want and feeling comfortable you should see it as a reason to go again and show that something like that is not going to stop you, ly
I wanted to say that is really nice watching you start something new even though you are "older" and you already have the thing that you are known for - ballet -) Sometimes it's really intimidating to start a new sport/hobby and always think what other people are going to say about you. I personally always wanted to dance and try new things (such as figure skating) and by watching your videos I started realizing that you are never to old to do something. I'm really happy for you that you stated a new journey and I'm all here for it!! Keep going!! ⛸️❤️❤️
I wanted to say the same thing! It a bit different for me cause I’ve never had something I was very good at/known for but despite being oldish I’d love to try being a figure skater too
i've always thought figure skating is one of the most beautiful sports and arts out there, it's so satisfying to see. please do post more figure skating videos!!
I feel like this video should go viral to make people aware of the disgusting behaviour some men find "normal" although its deeply disturbing. Figure skating is such a beautiful and graceful sport, you are doing o great
Everyone should see this video because 1, I love u Luna and 2, this is what women go through on a daily basis while just minding their business and it's disgusting. I really truly hope this hasn't ruined your experience too much because I can't wait for the next videos in this series!
As a figure skater I love this omg!! Also what skate fits you best depends on your foot shape so I'd suggest going to a professional skate technician if you can to get fitted. Graf 500 and Jackson Mystique and Edea Overture are some good options (my first skates were Graf 500). I'd suggest buying hard guards and soft guards and having some spare laces just in case as well.
I know that you’re supposed to buy boots that suits your level of skating but what about the blade? But are you suppose to compromise buy buying beginner level blade rather than higher & more expensive (mostly worn by olympian) blade?
wow that conversation was so disturbing, it's really crazy and scary to think of how often men probably talk about women that way and how much of it isn't caught on camera. you were amazing though and figure skating is one my favorites in the olympics too!
first off, the men were disgusting, but i dont want them to take away from how cool this video is. as a figure skater, im super excited to see your progress because im currently coaching my friend who was on the dance team so shes used to spotting and all that stuff. i hope the rest of ur skating goes smoothlyyyy
Didn't expect this fun fudeo turn into a serious one. Girls literally have no place to relax and have some fun. Anyway, as a skater myself, I think you skate really good. I mean if it was your 1st time and you already know how to spin, incredible. It took months for me!
Those men are so nasty for saying those things about you. I wish his wife could hear that convo! Girly, men will always be nasty and have those thoughts. You shouldn't change what you wear mama. Even if you wear baggy clothes it's sad to say but men will still talk... It's so sad to hear that conversation.
i was like this but you just gotta bite the bullet and DO IT. i started ballet last year at 17 after wanting to do it my whole life. i was too scared of embarrassing myself but it wasn’t like that at all. yeah, there were some embarrassing moments but no one really cares. if you really wanna try something DO IT, otherwise you’ll probably regret it when you’re older
I learned that not thinking about it and just doing it was the best for me It's hard in the beginning but if you just keep going it will be easier:) As example: I started working out and whenever i have to i don't think "Oh noo i don't want to". I just put my workout clothes on and start the app. That's where you can't stop me anyway because the first step is the hardest. Everything after is the easiest:P
Luna I was so proud of you and still am! Those men are disgusting. I mean we know this kind of guys are out there but you were just innocently having a good time and to hear guys talk like that who are like 52 give me a break!! of course if we were worried about what people thought of us we'd never do a damn thing. I hope you do all the things that you want to do in life and I remember to live your best life!! It takes a lot of guts to try something new let alone video it. It's good to have body awareness. I mean my life is different I did modern dance and speed skating in a roller rink where I live back in Pennsylvania. It's really help me in my fitness and yoga journey. I love you so much to the moon and back you're a gorgeous gorgeous person inside and out. Love you from Los Angeles!
Gross men aside, you did an AMAZING job! I just finished my first 'learn to skate' session (I'm 45 and have always wanted to skate, so it was time!). I can't get crossovers just yet, but I'm almost there! Those things you're talking about are swizzles and they are totally fun! But man, your turns! The ballerina in you definitely shows, the fact you can do those on your first 'real' lesson is amazing! You should be so proud of yourself. And your outfit was completely appropriate.
im so sorry that that had to happen to you Luna, it really disturbed me and it's sad that this happens :( I really hope you carry on because I think you did amazing, love u!
Hi! I'm Ellie: an adult figure skater in college (also, ex-ballerina) with some tips, tricks, and brands! So over the years I've skated (8-10 years), the most important tip is to stay inspired. It can be so frustrating when you're stuck on a move for a long time, but it is totally normal! I combat that by filling my social media with other adult skaters near my level and slightly above my level so I can watch other people working on the same things as me and celebrate their successes with them. That keeps me wanting to achieve and grow with my fellow skaters. A trick (since I also used to struggle with trying to spot during spins), is to figure out where your eyeline is and trace is while you spin. For me, I try to keep my eyes on the middle section of bleachers as opposed to a single spot in the room. That helped me a ton during spins and now I don't feel the need to spot anymore. Another tip/trick is to stretch before you skate, which I'm sure you know as a dancer. Focus on hips, hamstrings, back, and shoulders. Lastly, clothing and brands! I try to remember to try and wear what I'm comfy in (although it is so hard to with men like that). If you wear something else to please others in anyway, you end up focusing on your outfit too much when you deserve to be focusing on your activity. Personally, I wear leggings for my bottoms (usually not a flare as those can hold water more around the ankle if you fall). My favorite type are the hugger line from Aerie- they don't get gross if you fall, the compression is perfect, and I love the pockets so I can put my gloves in them. For tops, sometimes I throw on a baggy t-shirt, but other days I love the lululemon swiftly tech long sleeves or align tanks if I'm feeling like I want a lighter top. You were also 100% right with the lulu jackets, I recently got a define luon jacket and it is AMAZING- 10/10 worth the price. Other little things to wear- pantyhose socks when you have legit skates make an incredible different (cheap ones or the mondor/edea skate socks work. floquiya if you want them a bit thicker and warmer); cheap gloves from target (get a few pairs and shove them into your skate bag); mondor tights if you choose to wear shorts/skirt and tights; any good sports bra is a great asset for jumping so you aren't... sore later lol; Rockerz skate guards are my fave hard guards and Chloe Noel have fun soaker guards (don't forget to dry your blades and put soakers on after!). Of course you'll need some good skates too so make sure you go to a reputable skate shop and get fit- just like pointe shoes, different types of feet work in different skates/blades. I personally have skated in Jackson skates and now Edea skates, but don't work well in Reidell. They even have skate brands (like aura) that take a scan of your foot and custom make your boot! Definetly talk to your skate shop about what you're skill level is and what your goals are as each boot works best for different things (such as single vs double jumps or freestyle vs ice dance). My last brand/clothing tip is something I feel like you'd find fun- in the 2000s-2010s, there was this brand of skating pants by Choe Noel that have a spiral pattern down one leg... something tells me you'd love those! I hope this all helps! If you have any more questions, feel free to dm me on my skating insta @skating.ellie! I feel like my history with ballet is a great asset for my skating, so I'm sure you're going to do well. Have fun skating
Greet informative comment andI’m sure your ballet makes you an even better figure skater. I love how inspired by ballet Sasha Cohen and Oksana Baiul are have you seen their Swan Lake and Dying Swan programs?
you picked it up so easily omg!! but I cannot believe those men, the fact they felt the need to comment on you and your body, horrible! Get’s me so angry!
Thank you for sharing, Luna. I love this journey for you, and anyone really, including myself. I am also learning to skate for the first time. I have both a gymnastics and ballet background, and have always dreamed of skating. Now, I am finally doing it, and I love it. Also, I’m sorry you had to experience that with those men, it really is disgusting. It’s a social norm that shouldn’t be normalized, and hopefully gets educated out of men in younger generations. However, please don’t let that deter you from your dream and enjoyment of such a beautiful sport (or anything ever for that matter). All the best, keep it up, you will do great!
as a competitive figure skater i love this video!! Being able to spin on your first session is SO impressive! My first skates were riedells, and they’re really great affordable skates for beginners. On another note i am so sorry that you had to be in that situation. Those men are disgusting and the fact that they are married is even more gross. You should be able to wear whatever you feel happiest in Luna!! ❤️ ps Yulia is incredible… watch Kamila Valieva or Isabeau Levito (their skating is very ballerina like!)
I’ve been a competitive figure skater since I was 3, and I loved this!! My biggest advice is that when you DO get your own skates, find a professional skate tech and get fitted! a just like with pointe shoes, it’s sososo important to get fitted properly to help prevent injury! Good luck!!
ahhh those creeps suck to have changed the whole vibe of this sweet vid! you were doing Amazing and looked so good esp for a first lesson! im sorry you had to listen to that when you were j trying to edit & analyze your lesson. men ruin everything wtf:( but anyway keep practicing! youre doing amazing girl
as a figure skater (and a learn to skate coach), you did SO well Luna!! To begin to get crossovers in your first lesson, that's literally jumping like 4 levels in LTS. I hope you're still skating and that those men did not put you off the sport forever. Skaters tend to wear tightly fitted clothing (men and women!) because anything too baggy distorts body lines and can get snagged on toe picks. You're not the only one dressing this way is what I'm trying to say (sometimes I just skate in a sports bra!). Regardless of if you plan on sharing it, I hope you're still on your skating journey because it is such a gratifying thing to come to as an adult.
This was such a beautiful & inspiring video!!! & I’m so sorry you had to hear their disgusting conversation and go through that. hopefully it will not dim your oh so bright light & instead empower you to keep doing you. Great job, Luna 🌙💞 Sending love & positivity
can't wait to see your figure skating progression! I can already tell that your ballet experience will help you progress through the beginner phases pretty quickly
that sucks. most skaters at my rinks, even men are so nice and supportive towards new skaters and it makes me happy. no man should ever EVER do that. i also wanted to say even if someone is doing that or saying stuff, to go back like you normally would and show them (if they are there) that you don’t care and you are just trying to skate. i know it will be hard but do it to show them that you don’t care what they are saying. hope you get better ❤
Please don’t let this stop you skating, you improved so much! I would 1000% report this too the place in case they’ve ever had reports of this before and can see who it is!
I'm a figure skater and I'm impressed with your spins! They're not easy at first. You can tell you're a ballerina :) I hope you keep skating, ballet and figure skating really go hand in hand when it comes to skate programs, so much elegance. If you have the flexibility, you should be able to do a layback spin with some time, it's not as hard as it looks (at least I think! It is kinda scary at first, but practice on the barrier and slowly gain confidence) This was a cool video to watch! Those guys towards the end though, ew, I've had some really strange encounters with men like that at the ice rink as well, not cool.
i feel like the second guy was uncomfortable with what the other man said and i wish he would’ve spoken up and didn’t just laugh. if you’re in a situation similar and you feel safe doing so please speak up! let them know what they’re saying is wrong, especially if you’re a man. we need more guys on our side.
I agree, it seemed like man#2 was possibly just nervous laughing/deflecting. Man #1 is disgusting and I feel bad for his wife. Hopefully he has someone in his life to shut him down when he says things like this.
so disgusting how older people act like that its so horrible! they even said you look 15 and that they are 52 and they want to dream about this? bro thats so messed up
figure skating is all about not fearing to fall, and that comes from spending a lot of time on the ice. you did great!! good luck on your skating journey
why was he 52 and he was still interested in you thinking you were a minor? god that’s got to be one of the most disturbing things seen on video.. like i wonder how often that happens
i loved this video! i've also always had a fascination with figure skating and can watch it forever. it's so inspiring to see you try a new thing bc i always feel like im too old to learn skating now but maybe not :) also im so sorry about those men ugh. i can't believe they called you half naked when you were literally covered head to toe. they think everything we do is to please them it's so disgusting. wish we could just live our lives and not worry about being sexualized for every little thing.
I feel like Man #2 was not comfortable with Man #1. Gotta differentiate. He said more than once, "I'm not looking. I assume everyone that is here is too young" and didn't validate anything Man #1 said. Seemed like Man #2 was a good guy.
If you listen to the conversation, man 1 is def worse than man 2. Every time he makes a bad comment man 2 chuckles nervously, like he doesn't really agree with what is being said but isn't saying anything. That is why toxic masculinity continues, man. When a man speaks up and says awful thoughts like these, you gotta either walk away, or combat his thoughts so he knows he is wrong. Man 2 tried weakly with, "I am trying not to look because I figure they are too young." It was his round about way of saying he didn't want the conversation. He needed to be more bold and say, "this conversation makes me uncomfortable," or just walk away or SOMETHING. I can work on this too. I have been in many uncomfortable conversations that wouldn't have happened if I asked the other person to stop them before they happened. 😞
As a ballerina who has in past 6 years got really into figure skating and ice dance, my best advise particularly with spins is try to get out of habit of turning out your standing leg and keep your knee soft, not super pulled up! This will massively aid you in keeping your spins centred and feeling more secure. It took me 4 years to work this one out and was like a magic switch went off when I gave both of these a go in combination!!
Being a 51 year old man let me say the 'men' in that clip are just nasty! Crap like these sad SoBs need to be exposed! Surely the gym rink has an office and need to see this clip? As a man I feel ashamed for my gender 'sorry'!
Omg Luna I love this video so much its genuinely so inspiring to me (someone who is 25 and an ex gymnast) to watch you try something new and be so excited and enthusiastic about it!! Also f*** those guys, pls never stop wearing whatever the hell you want - you look amazing and women are entitled to whichever outfit they choose
i'm so sorry you had to hear that conversation. i used to get catcalled when i was walking home from school and i was still wearing baggy clothes. the clothes we wear are never the fault. the only wrong thing is those people's mindset.
Awww i love this video this actually makes me want to start figure skating as a dancer as well!!! Do not let that absolutely putrid conversation stop you from achieving your goals ❤️ i can’t wait for more videos!!!
I was about to comment about how amazing I found you taking on this new sport journey and wishing you well, but then I got to the part with the recording of the conversation and I just 🤢🤢🤢 I'm SO sorry you had to witness that, Luna! Why are men 😭😩
this is a list of the moves Luna did (that i could tell clearly what it was): 7:16 stroking, basic move first thing every skater learns 7:51 foward crossovers, another basic move we learn in basic 3&4 7:58 T-stop idk why her coach was teaching her that because you dont learn it till basic 5&6 the first stop you should learn is snowplow 8:24 swizzles! my teacher used to make is do these while doing dips (when you sort of sit while gliding, except we had to have our butt touching the back of the skate so it was hard, she called them "owie swizzles") 9:38 that is a snail entrance into a two foot spin which is also kinda something you dont learn till 3&4 10:09 one foot spin idk how she entered because i didnt see (you dont learn them properly till prefreestyle, or basic 7&8) 11:19 backwards pumps (im trying to ignore those guys) heres a tip that every coach will yell at you "BEND YOUR KNEES" my coach used to scream that at me all the time 😂when we do crossovers we bend so much we almost touch the ice (my coach is also named Lisa) also yes skates are quite expensive my first pair were $240 and they were Jackson Ultima Evolution's you do pay more for higher level skates plus it costs to get the blades mounted i recommend watching Coach Julia she helps me a lot with tricks and moves
Those guys are disgusting, you’re just minding your business and who is gonna wear bulky clothes to learn figure skating?! They assumed you were still a teen and still talked about you in that way?! I can’t imagine all the conversations and thoughts that occur every day when a woman is just trying to live her best life.
The internal monologue of a lot of men sounds just like those guys, but worse. Do t let it affect you. Wear what you want to the rink and be yourself. Carry yourself with grace and dignity like you always do. 👑
In 2018 during the Pyeongchang Olympics I was into figure skating as well (but never did it, I also did ballet) and I came across that same video of Yulia and I was obsessed with that video!
Those guys were absolutely disgusting ! I'm so sad that we girls can't do anything or wear anything without being sexualised... :'( I hope it won't stop you from doing figure skate and wear the clothes you like because you seemed to have so much fun, you were doing your best and I'm sure you will become better and better each time ❤️❤️❤️
oh my goodness. luna you have no idea how excited i was when i saw the title of this video!!!! being a ballerina is one of my dreams (which is why i started watching your vids like 3-4 years ago) and ice skating is another one of my biggest dreams! ahhhh this is perfect
sorry those guys were so horrible, its disgusting. I'm a figure skater and that can happen... If you want to get some GOOD skates look for edea or risport, the blades are also KEY. Make sure you don't have flyaway clothing when you skate and always BEND YOUR KNEES. But your skating looked good!
Omg I actually was having this idea of trying to skate and today I saw that some place had opend a skating court and now you downloaded this video I guss that is a sign😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
its funny because that last move is actually a fairly common spin a lot of intermediate skaters can do, however a lot of those jumps are a completely different story
So excited to follow your skating journey! I’m an ice dancer, have been skating around 10 years and am starting my career as a professional skater ⛸ The ending of Yulia Lipnitskaya’s routine is called an I-spin. I’d LOVE to teach you to skate so if you ever come to the UK 😇
im so sorry those disgusting men were thinking and talking about you and others that way its awful!! definitely keep wearing your outfits and keep skating, you will progress so quickly! I started skating in 2018 and I am now learning axel and combination spins. trust me the progress is so quick especially if you have a good coach. Cannot wait to see more skating content!!
Hopefully you can report the man to the ice center and get him kicked out bf he’s a danger to children for sure, and women, and society. I hope you can get him removed for your safety and the safety of others 😥
As a figure skater myself I wish I had half the enthusiasm that you have. Most days I am saying I want to quit, or I come off of the ice crying. Other days I say I love i skating and want to get better. Your video had me smiling the whole time. Seeing you have so much fun inspired me. Thank you 😁
Ok, first of all those men (mostly that 52 year old).. just ew. But second of all, you actually did INCREDIBLY well. I'm a figure skater myself and have often had people come along who said that they've skated a couple of times already but they did nowhere near as well as you. :D You should be really proud of yourself, honestly!! :)
Ice skating is so fun and from what I’ve seen, people who do ballet/gymnastics/yoga seem to pick up skating quickly because they already have great balance. Edit: Wtf?! I can’t believe that conversation!
I would see if the skating rink has cameras and can identify the 2 men that were talking about you. Because I would be interested to see their ages and if they were with children or other women.. Because that would identify them as someone who's probably not safe to be in a public place and shouldn't be allowed back.
Uhm… WTF is WRONG with that Uhm DISGUSTING MAN?! Like girl u can wear what u want! No one should comment what ur Wearing or anything!!!!!!!❤❤❤ btw my childhood dream was 🩰 😢 i actually took classes in a very long time when I was like 7 or 8 but I quitted! I regret soo much😭 now I barely have time to start again🙁

Wtf is wrong with those men.They think that everything a girl does is inherently sexual like what??? So disturbing!!I hope those comments didnt affect you much, thank you for sharing!
That is just the way men are, nothing will change that. They think with their crotch.
i'm so in awe with figure skating too! but i could never do it myself i think as the guy said i think i'm over the hill too haha for a few years now ive been following the work of yuzuru hanyu and in my opinion he's literally the best and especially the most artistic skater out there and still he stayed so humble. and his performances are just literal art! if you haven't seen it please do! i hope you will be as fascinated by his way of skating and performing as i am :) his 2018 pyeongchang free skate omg! but anyways i've recently decided to start ballet again after stopping for about 7 years and i think some part in that decision is your work and the last ballet video and the nutcracker videos you did :)
i’m a figure skater and i love this so much. yulia at the sochi olympics was also one of my inspirations. your spins were so good and it was so funny seeing you trying to spot while spinning😭😭. the things you couldn’t name are called swizzles btw. very excited for this series and i can’t wait to see your progress
I’m so glad your going after your dream.
As a figure skater, I speak from experience, it’s hard first time! But I got the hang of it and so will you.
I also have been doing it sense I was 2 so you can trust me❤️
That is absolutely disgusting what those men are saying. Having watched you since you were at 40k, and watching your growth mentally can really be seen in this clip. You handled this so well and I hope they get exposed for these horrible comments, which should never be said EVER
Ayeee I just got home from skating and now I get to watch this!
GIRL IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS
Hey, figure skater here. Crossovers, spins and t-stop on your first lesson is amazing, usually people work on those after a few months! I used to have a problem with spotting too (I took dance before I learned to spin in skating).
One thing my skating coach taught me that helped was to look in the direction your spinning. Assuming you prefer spinning counter-clockwise (most right-handed people do) try to think about constantly looking to the left. Since you're spinning to the left, looking to that direction will keep your head centered. If you spin clockwise, just look over your right side instead. Sorry if that's confusing, it's hard to explain movement through text lol.
Also I'm sorry about those gross men. People sexualizing sports like skating and gymnastics is a huge problem and it sucks.
But hopefully you try skating again! You did great!
omg so excited for you💕. Im a figure skater and its so much fun
God, your skating was fantastic and you were dressed totally normal for figure skating. Glad you had fun...
Wow I’m actually so impressed with how well you did on your first lesson! Do you think being a ballerina played a role in it?? I wish I could have someone teaching me along the way too instead of me learning by myself because I feel like it’d make things so much easier and they can tell me what I’m doing right or wrong
As a figure skater I was so excited when this popped up! (Have been watching your channel for years). I also do a bit of coaching, and you did great for your first lesson! Would recommend in the future just wearing normal leggings, not those flared pants, as your blades can get caught in them. Most teens and adults just wear regular leggings, some of the little kids wear colourful pants. The Lululemon zip up jackets you mentioned at the start are great too, or a vest. F**k those guys, that's so gross, your body was completely covered, and even if It wasn't that's disgusting to hear them talking like that. People at my rink literally skate in crop tops/bra tops. Now I'm paranoid there are creepy men watching :/ Anyway, keep at it, don't worry about random strangers! Hope you get your own skates soon (make sure you get ones that are the right level and fit for your feet - get fitted professionally, I'm sure your coach will know where to go). Look forward to seeing more skating videos!
Btw the “in and out swizzle things” are called lemons or swizzles
The fact that they’re sexualizing someone they think is a minor (who is probably on the same skating rink as their kids who are also doing the exact same activity of skating) is disgusting. I feel sorry for the poor woman married to this man. I hope he doesn’t have daughters. The bar is truly in hell.
oh my gosh yeah he said he was married. he's probably somebody's dad too
The bar is so low and yet some are playing limbo with the devil
It almost worst if he has a son he’s gonna grow up thinking everythink he said is right or this is how it goes
Gosh what he said is so disgusting… sexualizing someone they believe is a minor, saying that Luna’s “half naked” when she’s literally wearing long sleeves and pants (which indicates that a woman’s outfit is never an ‘excuse’ for them to be sexualised by, as perverts have those horrible thoughts regardless of the situation), commenting on girl’s’ appearance, blatantly talking abt how ‘a man can dream’ (of those disgusting things he had in his mind)… ppl like that should be burnt in hell.
9:41 I’m learning how to do those a spins
I'm so sad and disgusted to hear the audio of the two men talking about you, I'm so angry that this type of behaviour continues to exist and come completely naturatl to men. I'm sorry Luna you had to hear them and you now feel in such a terrifying level of self-consiousness. Other than that, don't feel bad for looking like an amateur, is amazing what you can do! It went so good on your first lesson! You have to keep going, keep learning, get more and more confident. It is with practise and patience that good things happen ♥ Lots of love and light babe xx
i agree with almost everything you just said but i was just thinking and i feel like it’s important to point out that actually this behavior doesn’t come naturally to men. it is learnt from other people they know, it is perceived from strangers or their environment, media, etc. it’s good to know that this behavior is mostly learnt bc it means it can be unlearnt or simply not taught. ik we can’t change how men are portrayed in media or what other people teach or do, but at least each person can be aware of the fact that slow change is not impossible
she did so good man i tried it and im a dancer too but like i couldnt even move throguh half the rink without falling
@@alesucrerios I'm definitely not sure it's only taught. I'd say it's a mix of taught and innate. Basic biology sadly..
those guys conversation really disturbed me, the fact that no matter what women do or wear they will always be sexualized makes me so angry. you looked so beautiful figure skating and i’m very excited to watch the next video! love u luna
Damn, poor wife of this guy. He‘s staring at girls and he believes Luna is 15 - 17, so he KNOWS he shouldn’t sexualise her. But yet he apparently can‘t help ogling a girl who is 30 years his junior. ‚Dreaming‘ about it. Damn man. Disgusting.
I am an ice skater and I know to boys and they were pretty young, they did the cutest thing ever, they figure skated to Star Wars and they had ships and light savers, it was adorbs!
That is LITERALLY part of life for a woman...
Regardless of what men say, there will always be women who judge them as creeps. And that makes me angry! That is literally part of life for men!
@@ragnarkisten It truly is. Sadly a woman of any age can compliment a woman or a mother about a child without concern or question. A man does so, and he's looked at with suspicion and fear- or much worse.
A 52 years old man SHOULDN'T "dream of a 16-year-old girl" or should be confident enough to display his disgusting thoughts to others. I'll never stop saying that this needs to be taught in families because its an abhorrent behavior and unfortunately too common in men.
IKR! I totally agree with this. Just like I'll never stop saying that young girls should NOT be dreaming to marry a old rich guy to get their money. It's a disgusting display of objectifiying not only men but specially herself as a object to be used.
Exactly! The audicity to say that out loud…
But what angers me as well is that “man 2” just kept laughing at his words instead of putting a stop to it so it continues…
soo gross
I’m a figure skater (15+ years) and I love this!! Sorry those men were gross :(
That conversation of the two men was so weird but it shouldn't make you stop wearing what you want and feeling comfortable you should see it as a reason to go again and show that something like that is not going to stop you, ly
I wanted to say that is really nice watching you start something new even though you are "older" and you already have the thing that you are known for - ballet -) Sometimes it's really intimidating to start a new sport/hobby and always think what other people are going to say about you.
I personally always wanted to dance and try new things (such as figure skating) and by watching your videos I started realizing that you are never to old to do something. I'm really happy for you that you stated a new journey and I'm all here for it!! Keep going!! ⛸️❤️❤️
I wanted to say the same thing! It a bit different for me cause I’ve never had something I was very good at/known for but despite being oldish I’d love to try being a figure skater too
@@fairies-kill lets gooo! You can do this :)
i've always thought figure skating is one of the most beautiful sports and arts out there, it's so satisfying to see. please do post more figure skating videos!!
Those men!!! I’m so disgusted!
I feel like this video should go viral to make people aware of the disgusting behaviour some men find "normal" although its deeply disturbing.
Figure skating is such a beautiful and graceful sport, you are doing o great
OMGGG the conversation you recorded 💀💀💀💀 it's terrible
Everyone should see this video because 1, I love u Luna and 2, this is what women go through on a daily basis while just minding their business and it's disgusting. I really truly hope this hasn't ruined your experience too much because I can't wait for the next videos in this series!
As a figure skater I love this omg!! Also what skate fits you best depends on your foot shape so I'd suggest going to a professional skate technician if you can to get fitted. Graf 500 and Jackson Mystique and Edea Overture are some good options (my first skates were Graf 500). I'd suggest buying hard guards and soft guards and having some spare laces just in case as well.
I know that you’re supposed to buy boots that suits your level of skating but what about the blade? But are you suppose to compromise buy buying beginner level blade rather than higher & more expensive (mostly worn by olympian) blade?
Jackson mystique I recommend for beginners
@@swagmasternim2807 Most beginner skates come with the blade and the boot
wow that conversation was so disturbing, it's really crazy and scary to think of how often men probably talk about women that way and how much of it isn't caught on camera. you were amazing though and figure skating is one my favorites in the olympics too!
first off, the men were disgusting, but i dont want them to take away from how cool this video is. as a figure skater, im super excited to see your progress because im currently coaching my friend who was on the dance team so shes used to spotting and all that stuff. i hope the rest of ur skating goes smoothlyyyy
Didn't expect this fun fudeo turn into a serious one. Girls literally have no place to relax and have some fun.
Anyway, as a skater myself, I think you skate really good. I mean if it was your 1st time and you already know how to spin, incredible. It took months for me!
Men ruin everything
Same gurl, I am also a figure skater. I do synchro too
It took years for me to learn
Those men are so nasty for saying those things about you. I wish his wife could hear that convo! Girly, men will always be nasty and have those thoughts. You shouldn't change what you wear mama. Even if you wear baggy clothes it's sad to say but men will still talk... It's so sad to hear that conversation.
I WISH I had this much bravery to try new things
It is never too late just try it because you only live once😊😊
do it girl!!!
i was like this but you just gotta bite the bullet and DO IT. i started ballet last year at 17 after wanting to do it my whole life. i was too scared of embarrassing myself but it wasn’t like that at all. yeah, there were some embarrassing moments but no one really cares. if you really wanna try something DO IT, otherwise you’ll probably regret it when you’re older
I learned that not thinking about it and just doing it was the best for me
It's hard in the beginning but if you just keep going it will be easier:)
As example: I started working out and whenever i have to i don't think "Oh noo i don't want to". I just put my workout clothes on and start the app. That's where you can't stop me anyway because the first step is the hardest. Everything after is the easiest:P
Honestly just do it. Sign up for a beginner level class if you can afford it. You'll make friends and you won't feel like the worst one
Luna I was so proud of you and still am! Those men are disgusting. I mean we know this kind of guys are out there but you were just innocently having a good time and to hear guys talk like that who are like 52 give me a break!! of course if we were worried about what people thought of us we'd never do a damn thing. I hope you do all the things that you want to do in life and I remember to live your best life!! It takes a lot of guts to try something new let alone video it. It's good to have body awareness. I mean my life is different I did modern dance and speed skating in a roller rink where I live back in Pennsylvania. It's really help me in my fitness and yoga journey. I love you so much to the moon and back you're a gorgeous gorgeous person inside and out. Love you from Los Angeles!
Gross men aside, you did an AMAZING job! I just finished my first 'learn to skate' session (I'm 45 and have always wanted to skate, so it was time!). I can't get crossovers just yet, but I'm almost there! Those things you're talking about are swizzles and they are totally fun! But man, your turns! The ballerina in you definitely shows, the fact you can do those on your first 'real' lesson is amazing! You should be so proud of yourself. And your outfit was completely appropriate.
no because we need to talk about that conversation between those men wtf was that
im so sorry that that had to happen to you Luna, it really disturbed me and it's sad that this happens :( I really hope you carry on because I think you did amazing, love u!
Luna you should be proud of doing something you always dreamed of, don’t let gross men stop you.
Hi! I'm Ellie: an adult figure skater in college (also, ex-ballerina) with some tips, tricks, and brands! So over the years I've skated (8-10 years), the most important tip is to stay inspired. It can be so frustrating when you're stuck on a move for a long time, but it is totally normal! I combat that by filling my social media with other adult skaters near my level and slightly above my level so I can watch other people working on the same things as me and celebrate their successes with them. That keeps me wanting to achieve and grow with my fellow skaters. A trick (since I also used to struggle with trying to spot during spins), is to figure out where your eyeline is and trace is while you spin. For me, I try to keep my eyes on the middle section of bleachers as opposed to a single spot in the room. That helped me a ton during spins and now I don't feel the need to spot anymore. Another tip/trick is to stretch before you skate, which I'm sure you know as a dancer. Focus on hips, hamstrings, back, and shoulders. Lastly, clothing and brands! I try to remember to try and wear what I'm comfy in (although it is so hard to with men like that). If you wear something else to please others in anyway, you end up focusing on your outfit too much when you deserve to be focusing on your activity. Personally, I wear leggings for my bottoms (usually not a flare as those can hold water more around the ankle if you fall). My favorite type are the hugger line from Aerie- they don't get gross if you fall, the compression is perfect, and I love the pockets so I can put my gloves in them. For tops, sometimes I throw on a baggy t-shirt, but other days I love the lululemon swiftly tech long sleeves or align tanks if I'm feeling like I want a lighter top. You were also 100% right with the lulu jackets, I recently got a define luon jacket and it is AMAZING- 10/10 worth the price. Other little things to wear- pantyhose socks when you have legit skates make an incredible different (cheap ones or the mondor/edea skate socks work. floquiya if you want them a bit thicker and warmer); cheap gloves from target (get a few pairs and shove them into your skate bag); mondor tights if you choose to wear shorts/skirt and tights; any good sports bra is a great asset for jumping so you aren't... sore later lol; Rockerz skate guards are my fave hard guards and Chloe Noel have fun soaker guards (don't forget to dry your blades and put soakers on after!). Of course you'll need some good skates too so make sure you go to a reputable skate shop and get fit- just like pointe shoes, different types of feet work in different skates/blades. I personally have skated in Jackson skates and now Edea skates, but don't work well in Reidell. They even have skate brands (like aura) that take a scan of your foot and custom make your boot! Definetly talk to your skate shop about what you're skill level is and what your goals are as each boot works best for different things (such as single vs double jumps or freestyle vs ice dance). My last brand/clothing tip is something I feel like you'd find fun- in the 2000s-2010s, there was this brand of skating pants by Choe Noel that have a spiral pattern down one leg... something tells me you'd love those!
I hope this all helps! If you have any more questions, feel free to dm me on my skating insta @skating.ellie! I feel like my history with ballet is a great asset for my skating, so I'm sure you're going to do well. Have fun skating
Greet informative comment andI’m sure your ballet makes you an even better figure skater. I love how inspired by ballet Sasha Cohen and Oksana Baiul are have you seen their Swan Lake and Dying Swan programs?
you picked it up so easily omg!! but I cannot believe those men, the fact they felt the need to comment on you and your body, horrible! Get’s me so angry!
Thank you for sharing, Luna. I love this journey for you, and anyone really, including myself. I am also learning to skate for the first time. I have both a gymnastics and ballet background, and have always dreamed of skating. Now, I am finally doing it, and I love it. Also, I’m sorry you had to experience that with those men, it really is disgusting. It’s a social norm that shouldn’t be normalized, and hopefully gets educated out of men in younger generations. However, please don’t let that deter you from your dream and enjoyment of such a beautiful sport (or anything ever for that matter). All the best, keep it up, you will do great!
as a competitive figure skater i love this video!! Being able to spin on your first session is SO impressive! My first skates were riedells, and they’re really great affordable skates for beginners. On another note i am so sorry that you had to be in that situation. Those men are disgusting and the fact that they are married is even more gross. You should be able to wear whatever you feel happiest in Luna!! ❤️ ps Yulia is incredible… watch Kamila Valieva or Isabeau Levito (their skating is very ballerina like!)
You got this girl.
Btw English is not my mother tongue so ignore all grammatical errors :)
I’ve been a competitive figure skater since I was 3, and I loved this!! My biggest advice is that when you DO get your own skates, find a professional skate tech and get fitted! a just like with pointe shoes, it’s sososo important to get fitted properly to help prevent injury! Good luck!!
this is so true^^
ahhh those creeps suck to have changed the whole vibe of this sweet vid! you were doing Amazing and looked so good esp for a first lesson! im sorry you had to listen to that when you were j trying to edit & analyze your lesson. men ruin everything wtf:( but anyway keep practicing! youre doing amazing girl
Hearing the convo between those men made me so upset. Absolutely disgusting
as a figure skater (and a learn to skate coach), you did SO well Luna!! To begin to get crossovers in your first lesson, that's literally jumping like 4 levels in LTS. I hope you're still skating and that those men did not put you off the sport forever. Skaters tend to wear tightly fitted clothing (men and women!) because anything too baggy distorts body lines and can get snagged on toe picks. You're not the only one dressing this way is what I'm trying to say (sometimes I just skate in a sports bra!). Regardless of if you plan on sharing it, I hope you're still on your skating journey because it is such a gratifying thing to come to as an adult.
Funny I found crossovers easier than just skating in a straight line and stopping lol. Maybe because I have rolled ankles and naturally go on a slant
This was such a beautiful & inspiring video!!!
& I’m so sorry you had to hear their disgusting conversation and go through that. hopefully it will not dim your oh so bright light & instead empower you to keep doing you.
Great job, Luna 🌙💞
Sending love & positivity
can't wait to see your figure skating progression! I can already tell that your ballet experience will help you progress through the beginner phases pretty quickly
As a guy I’m so embarrassed by those men. You skated so well, and pls do not let those wicked awful guys keep you from your quality of life. ❤
a little late to the video, but you should report those men to the skating rink! they might have security cameras and could see who was saying that
that sucks. most skaters at my rinks, even men are so nice and supportive towards new skaters and it makes me happy. no man should ever EVER do that. i also wanted to say even if someone is doing that or saying stuff, to go back like you normally would and show them (if they are there) that you don’t care and you are just trying to skate. i know it will be hard but do it to show them that you don’t care what they are saying. hope you get better ❤
Please don’t let this stop you skating, you improved so much! I would 1000% report this too the place in case they’ve ever had reports of this before and can see who it is!
I'm a figure skater and I'm impressed with your spins! They're not easy at first. You can tell you're a ballerina :) I hope you keep skating, ballet and figure skating really go hand in hand when it comes to skate programs, so much elegance.
If you have the flexibility, you should be able to do a layback spin with some time, it's not as hard as it looks (at least I think! It is kinda scary at first, but practice on the barrier and slowly gain confidence)
This was a cool video to watch! Those guys towards the end though, ew, I've had some really strange encounters with men like that at the ice rink as well, not cool.
i feel like the second guy was uncomfortable with what the other man said and i wish he would’ve spoken up and didn’t just laugh. if you’re in a situation similar and you feel safe doing so please speak up! let them know what they’re saying is wrong, especially if you’re a man. we need more guys on our side.
I agree, it seemed like man#2 was possibly just nervous laughing/deflecting. Man #1 is disgusting and I feel bad for his wife. Hopefully he has someone in his life to shut him down when he says things like this.
so disgusting how older people act like that its so horrible! they even said you look 15 and that they are 52 and they want to dream about this? bro thats so messed up
“Men”
figure skating is all about not fearing to fall, and that comes from spending a lot of time on the ice.
you did great!! good luck on your skating journey
Newsflash. 'Blokes talk about attractive women to other blokes.' In other news, water is wet.
why was he 52 and he was still interested in you thinking you were a minor? god that’s got to be one of the most disturbing things seen on video.. like i wonder how often that happens
i loved this video! i've also always had a fascination with figure skating and can watch it forever. it's so inspiring to see you try a new thing bc i always feel like im too old to learn skating now but maybe not :)
also im so sorry about those men ugh. i can't believe they called you half naked when you were literally covered head to toe. they think everything we do is to please them it's so disgusting. wish we could just live our lives and not worry about being sexualized for every little thing.
You are never too old to learn figure skating, I’ve seen people 70+ learning, and doing really well. Go do it!
I think Man 2 was pretty uncomfortable. He had that uncomfortable laugh and wasn't talking much. Yeah...super ick factor.
52? Has he no shame or self-awareness at all? Disturbing.
Clicked for the awesome title, enjoyed it so much, and these men... 52!!! Completely disgusting.
I feel like Man #2 was not comfortable with Man #1. Gotta differentiate. He said more than once, "I'm not looking. I assume everyone that is here is too young" and didn't validate anything Man #1 said. Seemed like Man #2 was a good guy.
If you listen to the conversation, man 1 is def worse than man 2. Every time he makes a bad comment man 2 chuckles nervously, like he doesn't really agree with what is being said but isn't saying anything. That is why toxic masculinity continues, man. When a man speaks up and says awful thoughts like these, you gotta either walk away, or combat his thoughts so he knows he is wrong. Man 2 tried weakly with, "I am trying not to look because I figure they are too young." It was his round about way of saying he didn't want the conversation. He needed to be more bold and say, "this conversation makes me uncomfortable," or just walk away or SOMETHING. I can work on this too. I have been in many uncomfortable conversations that wouldn't have happened if I asked the other person to stop them before they happened. 😞
As a ballerina who has in past 6 years got really into figure skating and ice dance, my best advise particularly with spins is try to get out of habit of turning out your standing leg and keep your knee soft, not super pulled up! This will massively aid you in keeping your spins centred and feeling more secure. It took me 4 years to work this one out and was like a magic switch went off when I gave both of these a go in combination!!
Being a 51 year old man let me say the 'men' in that clip are just nasty! Crap like these sad SoBs need to be exposed! Surely the gym rink has an office and need to see this clip? As a man I feel ashamed for my gender 'sorry'!
Omg Luna I love this video so much its genuinely so inspiring to me (someone who is 25 and an ex gymnast) to watch you try something new and be so excited and enthusiastic about it!! Also f*** those guys, pls never stop wearing whatever the hell you want - you look amazing and women are entitled to whichever outfit they choose
i'm so sorry you had to hear that conversation. i used to get catcalled when i was walking home from school and i was still wearing baggy clothes. the clothes we wear are never the fault. the only wrong thing is those people's mindset.
oh, my, fucking god. I figure skate in LA, too, and the comments those men made.... disgust ING
Awww i love this video this actually makes me want to start figure skating as a dancer as well!!! Do not let that absolutely putrid conversation stop you from achieving your goals ❤️ i can’t wait for more videos!!!
I was about to comment about how amazing I found you taking on this new sport journey and wishing you well, but then I got to the part with the recording of the conversation and I just 🤢🤢🤢 I'm SO sorry you had to witness that, Luna! Why are men 😭😩
It’s so sad to watch Lipnitskaya knowing what happened to her after the Olympics😭😭😭😭
Yikes that man needs to be in jail. You were great trying out figure skating, keep going strong!
Where are you said she pulled her leg up it’s called a needle. It’s a contortionist pose.
this is a list of the moves Luna did (that i could tell clearly what it was):
7:16 stroking, basic move first thing every skater learns
7:51 foward crossovers, another basic move we learn in basic 3&4
7:58 T-stop idk why her coach was teaching her that because you dont learn it till basic 5&6 the first stop you should learn is snowplow
8:24 swizzles! my teacher used to make is do these while doing dips (when you sort of sit while gliding, except we had to have our butt touching the back of the skate so it was hard, she called them "owie swizzles")
9:38 that is a snail entrance into a two foot spin which is also kinda something you dont learn till 3&4
10:09 one foot spin idk how she entered because i didnt see (you dont learn them properly till prefreestyle, or basic 7&8)
11:19 backwards pumps (im trying to ignore those guys)
heres a tip that every coach will yell at you "BEND YOUR KNEES"
my coach used to scream that at me all the time 😂when we do crossovers we bend so much we almost touch the ice (my coach is also named Lisa)
also yes
skates are quite expensive
my first pair were $240
and they were Jackson Ultima Evolution's
you do pay more for higher level skates
plus it costs to get the blades mounted
i recommend watching Coach Julia
she helps me a lot with tricks and moves
omg nowhere is safe to just have fun creeps are in the woodwork!
Those guys are disgusting, you’re just minding your business and who is gonna wear bulky clothes to learn figure skating?! They assumed you were still a teen and still talked about you in that way?! I can’t imagine all the conversations and thoughts that occur every day when a woman is just trying to live her best life.
Well I didnt expect the video to turn this creepy BYE😭
The internal monologue of a lot of men sounds just like those guys, but worse. Do t let it affect you. Wear what you want to the rink and be yourself. Carry yourself with grace and dignity like you always do. 👑
52 LOOKING AT A GIRL HE THINKS IS 17 IS SO DISGUSTING
In 2018 during the Pyeongchang Olympics I was into figure skating as well (but never did it, I also did ballet) and I came across that same video of Yulia and I was obsessed with that video!
I've been a figure skater for 13 years now and was so excited when I saw this video. My two favorite things finally coming together
Those guys were absolutely disgusting ! I'm so sad that we girls can't do anything or wear anything without being sexualised... :'( I hope it won't stop you from doing figure skate and wear the clothes you like because you seemed to have so much fun, you were doing your best and I'm sure you will become better and better each time ❤️❤️❤️
yikes those man talking about you woooooow, the audacity of some people
Wtf was that conversation. Truly disgusting! They are outright disturbing! Sorry that happened :(
oh my goodness. luna you have no idea how excited i was when i saw the title of this video!!!! being a ballerina is one of my dreams (which is why i started watching your vids like 3-4 years ago) and ice skating is another one of my biggest dreams! ahhhh this is perfect
sorry those guys were so horrible, its disgusting. I'm a figure skater and that can happen... If you want to get some GOOD skates look for edea or risport, the blades are also KEY. Make sure you don't have flyaway clothing when you skate and always BEND YOUR KNEES. But your skating looked good!
Omg I actually was having this idea of trying to skate and today I saw that some place had opend a skating court and now you downloaded this video I guss that is a sign😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
omg that conversation between the men was DISGUSTING i cannot believe this they are so gross
its funny because that last move is actually a fairly common spin a lot of intermediate skaters can do, however a lot of those jumps are a completely different story
So excited to follow your skating journey! I’m an ice dancer, have been skating around 10 years and am starting my career as a professional skater ⛸
The ending of Yulia Lipnitskaya’s routine is called an I-spin. I’d LOVE to teach you to skate so if you ever come to the UK 😇
im so sorry those disgusting men were thinking and talking about you and others that way its awful!! definitely keep wearing your outfits and keep skating, you will progress so quickly! I started skating in 2018 and I am now learning axel and combination spins. trust me the progress is so quick especially if you have a good coach. Cannot wait to see more skating content!!
But the only the one man made those comments
@@AC-bk1jg and the other man was just listening? Just as bad he didn’t say anything to call out his misogynistic garbage
Hopefully you can report the man to the ice center and get him kicked out bf he’s a danger to children for sure, and women, and society. I hope you can get him removed for your safety and the safety of others 😥
the men literally sexualising girls who probably are on the same ring as their own kids......!!!!!! LIKE WTF EWWWWWW....
As a figure skater thats prob my fav video of ur whole channel
As a figure skater myself I wish I had half the enthusiasm that you have. Most days I am saying I want to quit, or I come off of the ice crying. Other days I say I love i skating and want to get better. Your video had me smiling the whole time. Seeing you have so much fun inspired me. Thank you 😁
Ok, first of all those men (mostly that 52 year old).. just ew. But second of all, you actually did INCREDIBLY well. I'm a figure skater myself and have often had people come along who said that they've skated a couple of times already but they did nowhere near as well as you. :D You should be really proud of yourself, honestly!! :)
Ice skating is so fun and from what I’ve seen, people who do ballet/gymnastics/yoga seem to pick up skating quickly because they already have great balance.
Edit: Wtf?! I can’t believe that conversation!
I would see if the skating rink has cameras and can identify the 2 men that were talking about you. Because I would be interested to see their ages and if they were with children or other women.. Because that would identify them as someone who's probably not safe to be in a public place and shouldn't be allowed back.
Uhm… WTF is WRONG with that Uhm DISGUSTING MAN?! Like girl u can wear what u want! No one should comment what ur Wearing or anything!!!!!!!❤❤❤ btw my childhood dream was 🩰 😢 i actually took classes in a very long time when I was like 7 or 8 but I quitted! I regret soo much😭 now I barely have time to start again🙁
Keep skating though
